More people in US with a HD DVD player than Blu-ray

Completely wrong. That sounds like an uninformed consumer and the next phase of HD DVD supporters settlling for good enough. Not saying you are "settling" but your comment on upscaling equalling quality of actual 1080p is so far from true

This is a comparison of upscaled to 1080p vs BD

I would be just as happy with the former as the latter.

You and me both brother... I see no reason to give up my Pioneer 1080p upscaling DVD player that cost me $75 for a decent Blu-Ray player that still goes for around $300

@stteverhcp02... As for that comparison pic, stand a minimum of 6 feet away from your computer monitor (normal TV viewing distance), then tell me if you see any noticeable difference!  That pic is only relevant if you're watching a movie less than 2 feet away from your computer/TV screen!

Using my PS3 BR player, I watched a modern movie (Apocolypto) from 4-9 feet away (I got closer to see the effect) on a 53" Bravia LCD (Top of the range last year) and I wasn't bothered. I could see that the image quality was better, but I just didn't care. I watch 550MB TV episodes all the time which I download as I can't get them over the air in my country. Pixels are over-rated!
