Hardware prices and the price of the discs themselves are definitely an issue. Fortunately, backwards compatibility isn't a factor with the players, but as Harmonia lamented in the thread below the lack of flexibility to play discs from other regions (regardless of how those regions are broken down and coded) is just one more factor to take into consideration. Also, as you accurately pointed out, up-converted standard definition isn't bad; it may be good enough for the average consumer.
