All of this information is available for free, I don't see why someone would pay extra for it...

I suppose if you need someone to hold your hand while you upgrade the hard drive it might be useful if you have no clue and mess up.

Once patchstick and external usb storage come out this wont really be necessary anyway.

Well, the whole idea of a media extender has existed for ages too. If the Apple TV has taught us anything, it's that people pay more for the convenience/ease of use.
