Sjohn, there are way more reasons to run your own code on the XBox 360.
One of the most looked forward to is the modding of the Media Center, allowing it to play any format of video, not just WMV. Allowing video to be stored on the HD, allowing USB devices to have their music ripped to the HD, etc. Allowing full functionality with media like a PC, instead of this streaming bullshit M$ gave us.
If you had a modded XBox, you could play every single SNES game on it with friends, watch any movie that was taken onto your PC, stream internet radio, browse the net, to name a few. Everyone is hoping the 360 will be able to do this with enough time.
Actually, I enjoyed the Postal games. They may not have sold incredibly well, but they were fun and they definately had their moments for blowing off steam. I'm more worried about the movie than the game, and the name of the game makes it sound like a bunch of car mayhem will be forthcoming. Most excellent.
