I think Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are highly overrated... I doubt they'll have a big weight in the console war, after all not everyone has a huge TV where they can see a big difference between cheaper DVDs and expensive next-gen discs...
Same thing with 1080p, from what I've been researching (I'm about to buy a TV), most people don't recommend spending the money on it except if you want a very big TV and you're planning to watch it from one or two meters away.
PS: I'll probably buy a 32'' HD CRT, which goes up to 1080i resolution and as an added bonus, doesn't need to do upscaling of 480p, it displays it natively since it's a CRT. That's great for Wii games, no jaggies or fear of bad upscaling! Cheaper than a Plasma or a LCD, with HDMI, component inputs and everything...
