  I beleive you mean the HD-A2 at Costco? The HD-A20 is 1080p and so is the HDAX2, which has a better chip inside.
  Pretty much all HD movies are 1080p24.
  Some of the BD players (including the Sammy Dual player) will output 1080p24, and the XA2 HD DVD player will eventually when they upgrade the FW. The A20 only does 1080p60. Make sure you TV will accept 1080p24, before spending extra for that feature. Most 1080p players and TVs do 1080p60, but not 1080p24.

      Film is 24 frames per second(fps). Most HD discs are 24fps. To get it to 30 or 60 fps, the signal must be manipulated (3:2 pulldown). While this can be done quite well, its not perfect, leading to a distortion called Jutter. Getting a signal that is 24fps tends to be cleaner. Right now, very few sets can accpet 1080p24 those that do frequently convert it to a multiple of 24 (48 or 72) for viewing. Eventually, more will accept 1080p24, as manufacturers jump on the bandwagon.
      Others here can give you a better explaination, but that is my basic and limited understanding.

  So far all films for the HD DVD and Blu-ray formats are encoded at 1080p24, but how this is handled and output by the player varies from model to model. Some will only output the 1080 format as 1080i60, some will output 1080 as 1080i60 or 1080p60 and a very few will allow the on-disc 1080p24 for output, as well as 1080i60 and 1080p60, if the display accepts this rate. There's also 1080p30: this format is available for HD DVD, but not for Blu-ray.

  For non-film or other material, you may see on-disc encoding as 1080i60.
