I would buy them without hesitation! And when/if they were released in 1080i/p I would buy them to. I've got a 42" and could probably benefit from the higher resolution. But as others have pointed out, DVD-quality is enough to satisfy the vast majority. Don't think that Blue-Ray/HD-DVD will be affordable in i while anyway. About the audio-issue, the Super Audio CD and DVD Audio formats haven't realy got the consumers screaming for more as far as I can tell and they have been around for a while.
