When people are forced to upgrade their TV's in 09, it may make a difference. Most people will be looking for small HDTV's, and if the PS3 can be priced below 300 by that point and play the only HD disc format, I would have to assume thats a plus.

People aren't being forced to upgrade. This is an extremely common misconception I see thrown around internet forums all the time. Cable companies are being forced to broadcast digitally and therefore SD sets will require a digital conversion box to receive a signal (already available in most every metro area already).

I haven't had an analog signal pumped into my house in damned near a decade. I first got digital cable in 1999 or about two years before I bought my first HDTV.

Not to mention most places are also being forced to give away the conversion boxes for free.  Or atleast there were adds about on TV as such.
