Steam doesn't rent games, which is what I believe qwikster intends to do. It's gamefly they would be competing with. If I were gamefly, I'd be very worried right now.

Steam has massive discounts on games quite frequently, so it will often be cheaper to buy as long as it's not a super-recent release.

Steam works on consoles? this was news to me. IIRC, it looks like Qwikster's gaming strategy is more focused on consoles than PC.
