I think another likely inclusion would be IPTV, this really would make it a central media hub and be the ONLY thing needed to connect to your TV.

DVD/Blu-ray player - elminated with Netflix
Set-top box/Tivo - eliminated with IPTV

They'll also more than likely get the Zune marketplace on Live so you can download songs and play them straight on you home theatre, which I think is more convenient than downloading on PC and then syncing with an Ipod and then putting the Ipod in a dockstation connected to your home theatre.

I think more RAM would reap more benefits too moreso than GPU/CPU as the high res displacement/normal maps are getting massive.

I almost agree with you. Except that IPTV will actually work on the 360 before the next gen. It was demonstrated in CES last year and I think will be deployed soon in the UK. Same goes with the Zune. There were public announcements from Microsoft about it already.
