I'm considering the Toshiba HD-A2 but how much better is high definition 720p vs. upconverted 720p?  Does anyone know?  I currently have a cheap Panasonic DVD-S52.

Don't listen to these PS3 idiots they think the HD format war will be decided by a video game machine. Buy the A2 and spend half the price of a bluray player and get the same guality. I bought the A1 player at launch but my freind has the A2 and it upconverts better than any player I've used. Also the HD players are region free so most American bluray exclusives you can import from another country and watch on your player. Check out AV forums if you want solid info on HDdvd or Bluray, video game forums will be biased because of the PS3. 

Come on man was that first sentence needed? To tell you the truth dont get a PS3 just for the Blu-ray (PS3 owner) I watched 300 and didnt see a difference from DVD and blu-ray.
