I still need to get my TV tomorrow or on friday. But its gonna be 100x better than my old plasma which i bought in 2007 and is not even FullHD, so that's assuring 

100x better? I think you're close to having big surprises... if your old plasma is Panasonic then...

And there no big difference between FullHD (1080p) and HD Ready (720p) if you are more than 5 feets away from the TV... you have to stay close to see difference (less than 5 feets / 1.5 meters).

I know that they used to love saying that (especially Cnet) but I am one of those people that notices a difference.I wanted to believe that I couldn't see the difference but I could and went 1080. Do they even manufacture 720 sanymore? I'm sure if they do, it's a very small amount.

The difference between 720p and 1080p for gaming is very noticable.


Not unless you're on about PC gaming as 99% of PS3 and 360 games are upscaled from 720p.  In that case it's more indicative of a poor scaler in your display rather than the resolution that's making the difference.  If you mean in future that the difference will be noticable then I conceed you're correct , provided games are rendered at 1080p natively.  I still think there is a market for 720p 3D gaming next gen though as I don't think displays are cheap enough to do 1080p 3D gaming widespread and the consoles will not have the horspeower either.
