Picture isn't going to get much better than 1080p. There are resolutions above it, but unless the TV screen is over a certain size (well over 60 inches), the human eye can't even detect the increase in detail.
We
are starting to need a higher capacity disc format however in the computer world. We could have survived on double layered DVDs for a good while longer, but even still, we would soon need to make a transition to some kind of better format. And I think it works out nicely that the disc format transition lined up pretty well with the release of the new OSes from Apple and Microsoft.
V99 really summed up the rest completely. Though I can't help but notice that the original poster failed to take note of HD-DVDs completely. It isn't just Sony forcing a new format on us. It's Hollywood.
