For all the devices you mentioned, you don't need any special TV to use them. However, the resolution of your 27 inch tube TV cannot take advantage of Blu-ray movies, PS3, DVR and Xbox 360.
Tube TV's are still one of the best in my opinion. Nothing can match it's response time, color rendition and long, long service life. In fact, tube PC monitors are now being taken out of the closet for 3D applications with glasses; flat panel monitor have too slow of a response time (in milliseconds).
You should check out someone that has a flat-panel setup with Blu-ray movies, PS3, DVR and Xbox 360 movie playing and see if it's better. If you don't feel it's that much better, don't upgrade your TV. Despite what others tell you, there are trade offs to going with a new TV. Like the old saying goes, "if you're happy, you're happy".
