Don't think so. Why? Read up a little on resolution.
The only reason you're going to need any more major jump over 1080p is for projectors. How many people do you know with projectors?
Blu-ray/HD-DVD type resolution is here to stay for 8-10 years.
I'm going the projector route, anyway. The time you see 1080p on a 100" screen with no seeming loss of resolution, you will know why 1080p is here to stay.
That said, I wouldn't mind an even higher resolution for even larger screens without any apparent loss of resolution!

I have the Toshiba HD-DVD A1 (from day 1), and I have it in a "properly setup" environment.
Dolby True HD (lossless audio) and Dolby DD+ (slightly lossy audio) are as big a jump in audio as 480p to 1080i is for video.
It's too bad there's a format war right now, but with HDMI video and Dolby True HD - it's definitely worth the money.
Now I can see som earguing the price of the HD-DVDs, I am with you there, it does hurt to pay $30 for a movie. I've seen them bundle both the DVD and HD-DVD versions for a whopping $43...why?
Just saying most of the posts here seem to be knocking HD-DVD, but with the audio/video quality it provides - and there are a handful of good HD-DVDs out, I'm with it.
