  TLDR so far:
  
  x86 CPU, 8gb shared GDDR5, hard drive, leaked controller pics were accurate, Wii-ish sensor bar tracks controller position.
  
  PC-like suspend/resume.
  Background updates are possible (even when system is "off" - probably suspended)
  Titles are playable when partially downloaded
  
  Press "Share" button controller, browse previous minutes of gameplay, select and it will upload in the background
  Browse live stream of what your friends are playing. And I think he said you can take over for him?
  
  Integration with existing social networks? Facebook-ish feed of what your friends are doing/videos they have recorded
  
  Apps for smart phones, tablets, vita
  
  Predict the next game you'll purchase, download it for you = 0 seconds to play after purchase

      Valve spent a long time getting it working for titles using the .gcf file system on Steam.
      
      It was a pain in the ass to properly support, and once you released your first patch, streaming play wasn't supported.
