Ahh. Well, I'm just saying that at college was the first "HD" signal I'd seen on the TV and it looked amazing. I don't think I could have told it apart from a 1080 TV.
If I ever planned on getting a PS3 or HD Satellite package(s), then maybe I would have purchased a 1080p TV, but I just couldn't justify the price. I mean, extra $$ for BluRay & the movies, PS3 is expensive along with the games, and then an HD satellite package is expensive too. It just wouldnt've been economical for my family. We can survive just fine with 720. Which is why I said it really is up to user preference. If you DO want/have all that HD stuff, then maybe 1080p is worth (potentially) paying more for (in this case, the $$ are equal for the most part, though).
