For those of you WITH the dvd upconverting (or have knowledge of them) .... if it's a 1080p upconverting dvd player... (again, my tv is 1080i).... can it still do 1080i? i know this one is off topic of 360 material, but you all seem smart with this stuff and seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask.

Thank you for all of your help. Unfortunately, my HDTV does not support VGA :(

The tv I have is http://www.amazon.com/Philips-60PW9363-Widescreen-HDTV-Ready-Projection/dp/B0000ABPL5

I don't want to go with the HD-DVD player that microsoft has. I'm just not about going with HD-DVD, personal opinion. It seems like most of you arn't really liking the "upconversion" dvd players... so I guess i'm just sticking with the 'ole 360 standard dvds :(

I am a huge movie fanatic, and I want the best quality dvds without buying an expensive HD-DVD or Blu Ray player. I understand that in stores, they sell "Upconversion dvd players for NEAR-HD quality." Of course, it says it'll upgrade your quality to 1080i. I know in the xbox360 settings, you can change your option to display 1080i, which I do. Now, Does this 1080i ONLY do it for games, or does it do it for movies as well?

If the signal is only for games, and still keeps the dvds at a 420p quality, I'll be more than likely buying an upconverting dvd player. If someone can tell me that the 360 does indeed show moveis at 1080i, then I will be a happy man. Thanks to all who can give me the advice on this.
