When I saw how good standard DVDs can look played using an HDMI connection with a good upsampling player like the inexpensive Oppo 970HD (which I had originally bought for SACDs and quickly lost interst in for that purpose), I became much less intersted in buying a player for HD discs. It's not as good as the best HD that come over my satellite connection, but can be as good as quite a bit of the satellite HD. It looks a lot better to me than standard DVD and can certainly be satisfying as I sit on the sidelines. I don't buy many DVDs but just rent them. If one is building up a collection, that is another story. Then it might make sense to get an HD player and start buying one or the other formats.
