Up-Convert Player vs. Blu Ray

[merrim19]

Seriously what kind of answer do you expect in a BLURAY forum?

"Sure, upconverting a dvd with 1/6 of the picture information that a bluray has is just as good as a bluray itself!"

If you don't want to spend the $$$, that is your right.
But trying to justify not spending the money based on the "quality of DVD vs Bluray" isn't going to go far here.

Yea, ok, I understand the bias of posting in here, but it's still a better answer than I'd get asking a sales person. Actually, I just wired in my audio and video components last night to test everything and my current up-convert player crapped out on me. It's making grinding noises, great. I'm going to pick up a Blu-Ray from Best Buy tonight and I don't expect to be disappointed.
