3d.  It's worth the upgrade.  My brother has a PS3 and just got a 47" HD  
3D set for about $1000.  Modern warfare in 3d is freaking amazing.

I'm waiting for the price to come down so I can get one :)

I currently have an HD tube tv which runs at 1080i.  The nice thing about  
tubes is that standard definition *does* look more normal in it.  But the  
bad part is that most HD signals are *expecting* you to have a flat  
panel.  Whenever I watch a sports game, I get pissed that the score is cut  
off by my TV because they put it on the exact edge of the picture.
