Notices like this always scare me. I work for a global software company. I am expendable.
I guess the good news is I don't have kids, or a house, or any debt for that matter, and I could REALLY use a vacation!
I have a 37" 1080p LCD TV with a plethora of different inputs and video modes (Westinghouse... who knew they made hi-def video monitors?) I have all the consoles and consider myself an Avid gamer, but far from uber:)
The difference betwen 1080i and 1080p is neglegible when it comes down to figuring out which games win. The qualitative factor of gameplay and how fun a game is will ALWAYS outweigh the quantitative specifications of a system. The mega-selling Wii is proof of this - low def, FUN games.
In the eyes of a mid-20's average guy, the only reason why 1080p is so coveted is simply because of the marketing department at Sony. This was one of their biggest pre-sale points. Now that Microsoft has this under their belt, Sony doesn't really have anything yet.
Content is king, price tag is the queen. Until the ultimate "next gen" games comes out for the next-gen consoles, the cheapest system will win.
