What about application development on the Xbox?  I've heard of people working with for high end graphic types of apps, but what's the storage cabailities?  Can it handle high volume of data, or would have to attach some external storage device?

  Interesting. All this stuff makes me kinda dizzy! I guess I will wait for
  the dust to settle before I get too far with it. My initial leaning has been
  towards the X-box, and so far this thread has mostly confirmed it. I will
  have to check the selection of games available for it first. The online side
  of it is important to me so that the kids can link up with friends.

  You don't need to hack it.

  There is a Media Extender setup coming out from Microsoft that will
  allow the Xbox to be the 'center' of the home theatre, pulling music and
  video (I think) from a home PC etc.

  Go for the Xbox.

  Then hack the crap out of it and with a little bit of messing around you
  can
  watch avi files stored on your pc on your xbox linked up to your tv.

  A friend of mine has done this and it is quite amazing.
