Enough with the love fest and on with the complaining. I give less than a crap about up-conversion. I just want the highest possible BD performance, and every dime spent on up-conversion could have been spent on improving native BD performance. Conversely, it could have been money deleted from the budget to make the player more affordable.



If studios were half as concerned about stepping up the release of back catalog titles as they were double-dipping on recent titles, DVD up-conversion would be a non-issue. If you are in the market for a $2000 BD player, how reluctant are you to buy your favorite catalog titles again? Not reluctant at all; I think you are probably a buyer, not a shopper!



I haven't posted for a few weeks. Are those two fellows from the HD-DVD marketing group still trolling around? I hope so; I can't wait to hear how Toshiba's soooper up-conversion is about to crush Sony.
