I got the 360 Elite, and I've been reading on this forum that the DVD player is horrible in terms of lack of upconverting and other issues like that. Are there any plans to allow for upconverting like the PS3? Quite frankly I find the 360 player to be great for the mere fact that it seems to play burned and copied DVDs without any problems. Assuming you don't already have an HDMI super/upconverting dvd player, is the 360 DVD player decent enough to be the main DVD player of the house? Its not like the PS2 or Xbox where there were copy problems, and quite frankly I don't see what a non-upconverting dvd player has that the 360 does not have.

Well, I rather have a console with a built in DVD Player than a stand alone DVD Player that can do the same thing.

the difference between DVD and HD DVD/bluray, is nominal, you only see the HD in games from a sd tv to HD, not in movies, not realy, theres no need for HD DVD/ or blu ray(for dvds), the 360 dvd player is fine, for dvds
