of spending more for a hi rez machine and software if you can'
t take full advantage of it? A standard blue ray will already upsample a 480P to 1080 P with quite a significant increase in resolution which is clearly visible even on smaller monitors.
I can not see spending significantly more money when you can pick up a $77 upsampling blue ray machine And I will put money down that the new high rez machine and software will be an excuse for manufacturers to raise prices. I'm not talking about the 1080P sets, mind you, but the proposed new high rez stuff. These days a 1080P set, even in the 60 inch range, can be had for under $1K, with 42 inch sets under $300.

You may see an improvement even with 1080p content on a 2160p display. I can zoom in on 720p content with my 720p display and make out more details. 480p DVD upscaled to 720p is a huge improvement on 480i on my old TV.
BDXl discs capable of holding up to 128 GB exist already; I already have a drive than can in theory read and write them. There's no technical reason standing in the way of a higher res disc. A very limited market, and DRM paranoia will probably get in the way. Maybe eccentric indy directors will just sell signed editions direct to fans or studios will do burn-on-demand. Although I suspect most catalog movies would need unaffordable amounts of restoration to be worthy of better than 1080p.
