Depends. With Blu Ray, you'll be able to get whole seasons of shows like Lost or 24 on one or two discs instead of 5 or 6.

I personally have no interest at this point in time. My TV only runs 720p, so there's really no point. I have rented HD movies off Xbox Live Marketplace. Those all run at 720P though.

DVD will still rule the day by a large margin. And you could make the argument that by the time HDTV penetration reaches critical mass, the technology for fast digital download will be ready to go (an HD movie off XBLM takes several hours to download). It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. I think this has been more of a gaming/fanboy argument all along anyway.
