I have seen several demos of new standard DVD players with 1080p upconversion functions before, but it was pretty hard to find any difference between 1080i upconversion and 1080p upconversion. Quality of the original DVD did not change the impression. If the original content has low resolution, upscaled graphics looked unnatural, noisy, and less clear. You need to forget about idea of upscaling PS/PS2 software. I believe the result will not improve your gaming experience. After all I think 1080p upconversion has a limit and it is just a marketing pitch. Seeing is believing. That said, you will soon begin to see more and more standard DVD players with 1080p upconversion capability. That will become a commodity function soon.

PS3 beats the best DVD player in terms of upconversion.

yes thats rights.

this is from the AVS forums

I have just completed the HQV tests on the PS3 on firmware 1.8. The good news is that the PS3 now passes ALL the tests on the DVD, cadence, interlacing, artifacting. The output is clearly superior over my Denon 3930CI DVD player. The PS3 extracts more detail from standard DVDs over anything else I have seen.
For those of you that dont know... The Denon 3930CI is probably the one of the most expensive and best upscaling DVD players out there.
a 600$ ps3 is in fact better than 1500$ denon upconverting video player
