Personally I think the upconverting thing is hilarious. Nobody ever claims you don't need a 12MP camera because you can just upconvert a 2MP image in photoshop, but that is precisely what Toshiba are claiming they can do. If you can multiply the resolution by 6 and give the same result as a native image of the higher resolution, what is stopping you from doing it again, and again, and again? If it were possible to do such a thing, you would be able to create gigapixel images from a 2MP camera, but IT CAN'T BE DONE. That is why CSI is fiction not reality when you see them endlessly zooming in on images.

If Toshiba thought upconverted DVD was so good why the need to put out HD DVD's and HD DVD players then.
