"Its not Sony's fault most of Toshiba's players are 1080i..."
Wow. Really? How hopped up on the Blu-pills are you, huh? If you're counting all three generations of HD DVD players, there are only two that I can think of off the top of my head, the A2 and the A3, and the A3 hasn't even been released yet. So really there is only one by my count. Even the 360 Add-on supports 1080p, and that drive is manufactured by Toshiba. So, out of 9 Toshiba HD DVD players (1st, 2nd, 3rd Gen, and 360 Add-on) there are only two 1080i players. Last time I checked two out of nine was nowhere close to a majority. Care to reconsider that statement?
Also, you obviously have little idea what you're talking about when it comes to 1080i/p. 1080p is not the end-all-be-all of the TV world. It's definitely nice, but a 1080i set isn't crippled by any means, nor is 1080i content. Anyone will tell you the same thing. I bet that if you were watching HD broadcast TV you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 1080i or 720p. Next time you get a chance just take a look at Engadget's HDTV listing and flip back and forth between the various HD programming. I'm willing to bet that you will come to prefer 720p for certain types of programming, especially sports. If you don't believe me, just swap back and forth between a game on CBS, to a game on Fox, or a game on ESPN. The difference is immediately apparent. 720p isn't as bad as you make it out to be.
