Xbox360 HD
 

As the a box can play games in HD, does it upscale DVD's to HD?

Rob

Nope

You will be able to buy an add on for the xbox 360 that will play HD DVD's though in the not so near future

ah, i'll be buying a dvd player that can then cos i cant be ars*d turning the contoller on just to pause a film.

£89.99 for an LG HDMI player in currys just now i think this add on and a dvd remote will prob end up costing more plus the wait.... i'm a yesterday person

The 360 comes with a nice remote control to control pretty much everything. ;)

Then wait till tomorrow;)

I bet the LG standalone player would be quieter than the 360 though ;)
Probably cheaper than the 360 HD-Drive add-on as well :(

Upscaled DVD's aren't the same as HD-DVD though. I'm also thinking of plumping for an upscaling player to go with my LCD for now. It's only a 26" screen though so I'm not sure I'll notice much improvement on the 360's (576p?) progressive scan DVD playback via component. What do people think? (sorry for hijacking slightly!)

Yeah it is a bit noisy, Ok during when playing a game but irritating when watching a film
