Realistically, I think you'll be able to get a better TV for you money in 2 years when they switch over, than now. HDTV prices are going down, but the cheapest I've generally seen is around $600 for a 720p, which is already outdated.I mean right now, they are sort of a luxury item.  Most manufacturers seem to sort hold an artificial floor - sort of like they do with MP3 players and laptops - instead of making ones with lower specs for cheap, they just keep upping the specs all the time and keep charging the same base price.OTOH, it's not just TV. If you like video games, both the PS3 and 360 really need HDTV - at least, some games are unplayable in regular resolutions because the text is unreadable at them.</blockquote>
