The 360 dvd player is mediocre at best. I have a 100$ dvd player that looks better before it's even upconverted than the 360 does. Moreso than the image quality do you really want to place additional stress on your 360 by watching all your movies on it?

That test you speak of was done with a 360 not being upscaled vs one of the most expensive upscaling dvd players on the market upscaled to 1080i. Not exactly a fair test

Its ok. After all, its only capable of 480p. It looks bad on HD tvs despite its progressive scan capabilities. On the other hand, the HD-DVD add on upconverts DVDs really well.

It's just not as clear as a standalone player.

I think it works great, as good as any other DVD player I have used.  It can upscale to 1080P if you have the VGA cables not just 480P.

I also have the HD-DVD player which looks good as well.

Great for movies, hopeless for rewritable DVDS as it does not read AVI and only reads WMV.
