Nope, at least not withthe current systems. IMO this is especially because there will probably be little to no actual 1080p rendered games for the system ever made.
the is 1080p worth it isn't really a good question.
1080p means that it can support 1920x1080 resolution as opposed to 720p sets which are typically 1280x720 or 1366x768. Either way as the lines between TVs and monitors are continued to blur and content is all digital there is no reason to dismiss 1080p just because the 360 doesn't support it.
theoretically 1080p has been worth it for a long time and even more so with the HD-DVD player with the 360.

The biggest downside is a lot of really good 1080p sets can't even use the HD-DVD Add-on at 1080p though. Contrary to Major Nelson and other MS PR hacks, only around half of 1080p TVs use a full 1080p resolution in the VGA inputs, even fewer use it via component (HD-DVD can't even use componenet for 1080p anways). Take the Sharp 62U series, very good 1080p sets from what I've heard, however the Hd-DVD add-on will not work in 1080p on it.
That said, my understanding has always been that on almost all newer panels there are deinterlacers that essentially make all interlaced signals progressive (that being the nature of things like LCD). So that makes virutually impossble to tell any difference between interlaced or progessive, so 1080i is for all intensive purposes 1080p (if the signal sent is actually 1920x1080 resolution that is).

every account I've read by people who know what they're talking about has said that it's very difficult to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p.

It's all relative to size and distance from the Set. I get a much more detail @ 1080p than @720p in both PC games and movies. Plus 720p doesn't provide nearly enough desktop space.

A quick response? Why? Are you about to choose between a 720p and 1080p set right this second?
I'd say 1080p is worth it, if the price is right for you. More games will support 1080p, movies support 1080p, and 1080p looks fantastic.
Of course if you have a tiny set it might not really worth the dough for the extra lines.

[quote name='pop311']decision was made. I got a 720p set. 1080p was like $300-$450 more, no thanks[/QUOTE]
Not the wisest move, when the next-gen DVD format war is over you'll regret not getting 1080p. Even now, more 360 games are moving the way of 1080p. The Fight Night Round 3 platinum box now lists itself as 1080p compatible. Lost Planet is 1080p, I'd bet my ass Halo 3 will be

It entirely depends on the size of your set...if it is under 32 or 37 inches...the differences are negligible. Go to a store and see if you see any difference.
