Upconversion of sub-1080p Blu-rays

[Jimmy Smith]

In my opinion the biggest problem with the Playstation 3 as a Blu-Ray player is the fact that bizzarely its upconversion feature doesn't seem to apply to any Blu-Ray based content. Most extra features on Blu-Rays are in standard definition. While standard definition DVDs get upscaled for a noticable picture boast (obviously not true high def but still improved) standard def Blu-Rays do not. This is fine for 1080p movies which is most of what I watch but its kind of a letdown that standard definition extra features look better on the DVD then look better then they do on Blu-Ray. Nothing should worse on Blu-Ray. Isn't the point of Blu-Ray to make everything better.

I can understand why it won't upconvert Playstation 3 games. Since the graphic detail of a game is so high upconverting it may slow the game down. However for movies I can't understand why it treats standard def DVDs differently then Standard Def Blu-Rays. Logically Id think both would be equally easy to upconvert.

My question is are there any Blu-Ray players that upconvert sub-1080p Blu-Ray content to 1080p? Thank you.
