Sorry to burst a bubble, but most people buy the DVDs when they scratch the 10€ mark or even lower.
And the PS-3 is at the moment incapable to scale DVDs. And even the Scaler Update will probably not go beyond the Xbox 360 scaler. You shouldn't expect a scaler that is normally used in 300€ or beyond DVD players. Even the 150€ mark is probably out of reach(you don't spend so much money for a simple feature, especially if you want to push BluRay). And even more important how many HDTVs are there and I would even expect that less then one third of the HDTV owners really bother with HD movies.
Not 1080p is the real mark while most TVs are at 1366x768, while even several 1080p capable TVs switch internally to 1080i !
