hehe

Budget + HD/Blueray

your having a laugh...

Any HDMI DVD player should upscale normal DVD's, but any HD/Blu ray is going to be the thick end of 500 quid.

no.

But ask on the computer games forum.

I just misunderstood your term 'budget'

ahh well at some point will get a PS3 anyway, purely for playing GT , so in this case the budget = free, kinda. However as got so many DVDs already, if its crap at standard def playback I'll also get an upscaling player.

Latest PS3 firmware adds *excellent* stad DVD upscaling. Also, the PS3 is one of the very best blu ray players you can buy.

I bought a US one for that alone, and own no games for it smile
