aliasing is one of the worst things in my opinion. if you play a game and everything has jaggies it really is annoying.

720p or 1080p depends how close you sit to which tv size. most people i know in real life sit so much away from their 46 or whatever inch screen that they won't see any different at all or only a very tiny difference.

on pc people sit almost always very close to a screen and it will make a big difference for most pc gamers if the screen has a decent size.

 but if we talk about console gaming i think anti-aliasing is more important. i really hate it more than most other stuff in games from a technical standpoint.

Just to add the HDTVs already do some light AA filter... I tried sometime to output the same signal to HDTV and a PC monitor of the same size (32") and the PC monitor showed more aliasing... so I did some research and the HTDV uses some filters to display the image and monitors shows the native output.
