Kex, I wouldn't worry about 1080P. Unless you have a very large RPTV or front projection system, you will be hard pressed to see any difference between 1080I and 1080P Especially if you sit more than 10ft from your display.
Really? I notice a modest difference between 720p and 1080i on "busy" pictures with lots of movement...720p looks better IMO. Not the end of the world, but why isn't 1080p much better? Have we reached the point of diminishing returns already?

In that case, why would anyone with a 1080i TV, or 51" set like me or smaller think twice about spending double on BluRay and several dollars more per disc? Any other benefits?
