[quote name='BrandonMills']I can't say I'm too impressed with either HD-DVD or Bluray player prices yet. Yes, HD-DVD makes the cheaper players, but let's say you have a 1080p screen ( which I do. ), then you're pretty much paying the same price for both. Heck, actually a little cheaper for Bluray.
I'm debating whether to get one within the next month. It's after Christmas, so hopefully some After-Xmas deals will change my mind. HD-DVD, Bluray...I don't particularly care as long as I get a 1080p picture for cheap.
Come on sub-$200 1080p players![/QUOTE]
We just got the philips 5982 (about $50), which upconverts standard DVD to 1080p. A friend with both Blu-ray and HDDVD was jealous that Planet Earth looked better upconverted than on Blu-ray. A lot of it depends on the Tv.
