So I am in the market for a new DVD player and would like some input on the aformentioned types. Are upconverting DVD players that much better then regular ones? Should I wait for a clear winner in the 'new format' wars (although from my understanding, 7 of 8 hollywood studios support Blu-Ray)? As it stands both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players are still way too much money to make it worthwhile.
