no it's true.

The 360 outputs 1080p signals with the right connection and source. How else would HD-DVD 1080p playback work for example.

Fact my PS3 games and BRs look better on my 1080p tv then they did on my 1080i/720p tv.

Yeah, yeah, call this some inaccurate speculation or whatever you want but I'll say it anyway. And that's without any actual experience with HDTVs (though I have a 22" 1680x1050 monitor and probably enough experience discuss this matter anyway).

If you get used to watching HD feed, be it either 720p or 1080p, you WILL see the difference with TVs under 50". It might take a while at first but once you get used to it, it's pretty clear.

EDIT: And of course all this depends on the distance from the TV. Ought to be rather obvious, though I suppose someone will whine about me forgetting it unless I put this remark here.

go to walmart and watch ESPNHD DTV on A Samsung ether 720 and on a sony bravia 1080 and you will see the difference trust me

That may be mostly due to the fact one is a Samsung and one is a Sony. I wonder what the price difference between a Samsung and a Bravia is...

As for me, I really enjoy my Samsung 50" 720p Plasma. I saved a ton (about $500) by purchasing a 720p over a 1080p. For me, it made the most sense since I own a 360, and wanted to get a larger TV, even if I had to sacrifice a small bit of picture quality to get a killer deal.

A lot of the issue also comes down to the TV you buy. Not all TVs are created equal. You need to pay attention to what the picture quality is like, as a Visio is unlikely to look as good as a Sony (of course, a Visio is about half the price).

Also, none of the OP statements really have anything to do with Blu-Ray. You are going to get a huge difference between a upper-converted DVD on a 720p vs. a blu-ray. Just because it *can* do 1080p doesn't mean it doesn't look purdy on a 720p

Sorry but it does, Br looked ok in 720p.

But god damn they look fantastic on a huge 1080p plasma.  Planet Earth becomes an experience. 

You are miles out here, depending on the spec, i.e. fps, colour bit depth, chroma resolution etc, uncompressed 1080p video (no audio) would require a bit rate of around 100-300 MBps. The max bit rate for Blu-ray video is 40Mbps by the way.
