You dont NEED 1080p to watch blueray discs, you just need 1080P to get the full potential.
That being said, how many people out there even have a 1080p capable tv? And seriously, unless it is a BIG ASS TV, what is the point in 1080p?
people dont see in digital, we have the supreme HD vision, however, screen size, pixle size, and distance are all major factors as to weather or not we can even percieve the increase in resolution.
Neither me or my buddy could tell the difference between ED and HD (1081i signal being sent to both ED and HD, ED showing 480p resolution) on Panasonics Plasmas which are onlt 42 inches and i was less than 10 feet away.
The average consumer cant percieve much of a difference between 1080i and 480p. The only dreastic improvement is what is on paper
If i had to pick though, i would say HD DVD all the way.
Sony always ****s up thier new competing technologys with bitchy licencing agreements with manufacturers.
