Hi-def DVD, of course. Personally I'm waiting until either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD wins the format war and the prices come down, but that's where we're heading.

Blu-Ray is selling four times as many discs as HD-DVD, and players that play both formats are coming on the market.
So, if I had loads of $, I would have either a Blu-Ray, or a combo player, right now!
I've seen movies on regular DVD and then watched them on my HD channel. There is a difference....but its very suttle.
its certainly not going to be a good enough quality improvement to warrant exchanging out current DVD libraries.
My set is 1080i
It would be interesting to start seeing shows in the true 1080p though.
{snip}That isn't as easy to do with a download - especially when downloads are restricted by Digital Rights Management Systems, which you know darned well the studios are going to insist on.
One of the Mitsubishi Diamond 65" sets from about 3 years ago or so...
I have a low-end plasma, a 42 inch Maxent, but I still love it for watching movies. I dont know much about it yet but when I put in a movie the tv will tell me the resolution and most of the time its 780.
Netflix's new downloading feature is quite promising.
DRM has already been cracked so there is no protection against piracy there.
The realisation that using an illegal DRM invalidates the copyright will.
I also think that, psychologically, most people who shell out $15 or $20 to own a copy of a movie are going to prefer a tangible copy to a data file on their computer for a long time to come.
I don't remember seeing anyone predicting that all physical media would eventually be obsolete.
