Well obviously (although "can't watch a DVD anymore" is very much an overstatement.... hell if you have a decent setup you must be able to upscale your DVDs to 1080 anyway... which is what is happening with almost all your PS3 games from 720 or sometimes lower native resolutions)
The expense to upgrade just isn't worth what is (to me) a minor picture improvement... though I also don't subscribe to the huge TV in a small room idea (supposedly the perfect viewing angle is 30 degrees, I don't like having to switch looking from one side of a huge TV ot the other when the focus subject changes). The distance I am from my TV in my bedroom would require a minimum 32"TV for me to notice any benefit over 720p... and in the living room it would have to be 50" plus.
The former wouldn't actually fit in the place I have for my bedroom TV (I could fit just up to 26", though my curtain would obscure the left hand side... currently have a 19")
Again in the living room the current TV position wouldn't allow above 32" if I want to open the door to the hallway... we could go up to 50" over the fireplace, which I wouldn't mind as a TV position as long as it's safe (ie protected from the heat when the fire is on... I think it would be ok) except that the TV would be even closer to the viewer so it would be too big for my tastes. If I had my way a 1080p 40" would be perfect above the fireplace for me... I would be hard pressed to notice the difference between 720 and 1080 without getting up off the couch or maybe if there was a side by side comparison and I concentrated. (but without setting up 2 TVs I'm not going to have a side by side)
As it is 480 (or it may actually be 576i given this is Europe... not sure if PAL standards crossed over when the analogue signal dropped) is fine for now in the living room until it breaks.

I really can't. I find it weird to watch a dvd. The bitrate of a 50GB bluray is phenomenal. I'm kind of a video and audiophile. I only listen and watch to the highest quality possible. Thats why I buy cd's and have FLACs. Even anime, I get them in 10bit whenever possible.

I assume FLACs are something to do with lossless audio? Another thing I don't see the point of unless you have a lot of spare cash, a proper speaker setup done by a sound engineer (unless you have a perfect box room with no furniture) and play your music at a ridiculous volume.
Still, each to their own.

Yeah I have a 400 euro headphones from Beyerdynamic.
