After being their usual bombastic selves about IPTV, MS are realising how different the demands of the market are with respect to reliability and responsiveness. These are challenges the Xbox team have already faced (and failed, and fixed! ). The rollout of BT Vision is the first major implementation of their system. This Xbox 'option' is another baby step along the way.
Not too sure that its even a 'no-brainer' even if you are on BT Broadband. Its a limited service using the xbox360 as it currently now stands technology wise. The aim of the xbox division as you have pointed out is to make the xbox360 a 'media entertainment centre' a 'hub' for all your needs. Its not quite there yet, maybe with xbox360 plus or whatever they call the next one in a few years time.
