It scaled the image to 1080i, it didn't internally render at that resolution, in-fact no PS2 game did, but the number looked great on the box for advertising purposes.

It wasn't only the cheapest Blu-ray player, but also the best, not just in image quality and sound quality but in terms of support too.
A significant percentage of early Blu-ray players are now non-functional due to the lack of firmware updates that makes them compatible with more modern forms of DRM, in-fact it was the sole reason for me throwing out my Blu-ray player and buying a PS3 to begin with.
I think what personally turned me away from Sony in the early years was simply how much propriety stuff they would force into their product lines to try and lock people into their brands, aka. Propriety memory cards for their early Digital cameras, where-as Samsung gave me much more free reign.
However, I don't exactly represent the average-joe.
