The battle over HD is far from over. If you really want to buy products that are buggy at best, be my guest. Wait until LG or others produce quality dual format players.
If you have a DVD collection and want to have upconvert to 1080p then you really need to look into this DVD player.
The Helios H4000. $144
HERE
-It can upconvert to 1080p, (depending on the native resolution of your projector or HDTV.)
-It is one of two players that can upconvert via Component. The Denon DVD 5910Ci is $3999.00
(Yes, the H4000 has HDMI as well.) *It also can have HDMI & Component running at the same time and switch between the two!
-It will play all sorts of media, unlike most DVD players, (DVD-r/DVD+r/DVD-rw/DVD+rw/SVCD/CD/MPEG, etc.)
-Will play any burned disc you make on your computer.
-The output selection is second to none. (HDMI/Component/Composit/S-video/Toslink optical audio/cable audio/DVI, etc)
-It has "Smart play", (Skips right to movie upon disc insert. Every player should have this.)
If you don't want to wait until the HD DVD war is over and have lots of regular DVD's you want to watch in quasi HD, then look at the Helios h4000.
*I have one and, no I don't sell 'em.
