I had not considered the upscaling option, only the dual format option. Which at I don’t really believe to be that bad a deal. Dual format players are selling for half of what a Blue-ray player sales for. I, personally, would be scared to spend money on an upscale DVD player at this point as I assume the DVD will cease to be made sooner than later.

I hear you. I refuse to support these companies in trying to get us to re-purchase every dvd in their own format. they try to convice us we need hi-def so they can make more money off of us. who cares about hi-def. Do you really want to see the nosehairs on Superman? I’ll stick with my 2 year old $49 dvd player that plays my free non-hi-def dvds from the library…

And I can’t agree more! Considering the absurd price of dual-standard readers for now, I decided to just go with a Samsung upscaling DVD player, I’m watching House on it right now and it looks fantastic, screw HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. By the way, as far as I can tell, Warner Bros is actually publishing in both standards, and with the same price for titles (The Last Samurai standard def is â‚¬12.99, HD is â‚¬24.99 for both HD-DVD and Blu Ray).
