Bluray or upscaling DVD player?

[FunkyNige]

Hi guys,
I'm after a bit of advice - should I spend £100+ on a Bluray player or £50 on an upscaling DVD player?

I have a 32" Toshiba Regza TV and I can tell the difference between HD and non-HD when I'm watching one of the HD channels on Freesat. My current DVD player cost me £20 from ASDA five years ago and I'm noticing the picture isn't all that good...

I don't buy too many films, so the extra cost of the actual discs isn't really an issue.

I'm really confused about which one to go for!!!!

As there's one on this link for £80 it's hardly worth saving a few quid to have just a DVD player when you'll have the option of BluRays as well as upscaled DVDs on this player. It's not a particular recommendation for this model, as I have a different one myself (Sony BDP-S350), just a suggestion.

I agree. A BR player all the way. Does what a DVD player does, and more.

Ps3! Does everything a blu ray player does, and more!

Only kidding. Go blu ray, and get a love film subscription. We only get a couple of films a month but I think it's great value, as I only get blu-rays.

Do you need multi region ability?

My Sony S360 does Multi region DVD (NOT BR).

All it took was an evening of faffing around with a universal remote app on an old PDA, as I didn't have a suitable All-In-One remote to hand.

An upscaling DVD player is no better than a standard DVD player really, its a bit like watching a B&W film on a colour TV.... its still in B&W!

Blu-Ray all the way.

Does a PS3 upscale DVDs?
