RTFA:
Even if voice becomes the norm in virtual worlds, text as a means communication will still exist: not all players will be able to use voice. My wife can watch TV while I visit virtual worlds, but she wouldn't be able to if I were talking the whole time in the next room - it would be way too annoying. So I'd have to type; so would plenty of other people.
...for me is the the features that the hacks offer. I don't own one but I've been looking into the hacks after learning about them. Streaming video and music over ethernet, dvds, vcds, not to mention the standard xbox offerings. I still haven't made the plunge but I'm strongly considering cleaning some space for one next to the big TV.
Now if MS looses money on me (I will buy games, but probably only a few) that just makes it even sweeter!

yeah they're microtels, but at least you can get a PC from a "big" store WITHOUT paying the gates tax. Why don't more people know about this?

Oh no not the good cheek!
