Wasn't sure where to post this, but this article on the BBC site says that Project Entropia now allows gamers to spend virtual cash in the real world, pulling the money out in US$ through cash points etc.:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4953620.stm How would something like that affect SL? Would a similar ability be a benefit to the economy or not? And how would it relate to the currency market, which Project Entropia doesn't have (it has a fixed exchange rate by the sound of things). Anyway that last paragraph is why I posted it here  _____________________

It's already possible to do this, in a roundabout way. Get a PayPal debit card, and you have immediate access to whatever funds are in your PayPal account. I love mine.
