So when does the PS3 come out? I'm not spending $1000 on the Samsung 1000 to play Hitch!

Secondly, make sure your system settings are adjusted for the appropriate resolution and all that jazz. After that, just play a DVD and there is a BIG difference. It definitely upconverts. It doesn't look as good as a Blu-Ray picture would of the same movie, but it still looks great. On a side note, it will actually upconvert movies from your computer that you play through the XBOX. So, a lot of those semi-crappy movies you may have stored on your computer will, in many cases, look a lot better played through your XBOX to your display.

So did you register here just to resurrect a 2 year old, pretty much useless, thread?

It was the first listing that came up when I typed in "xbox 360 upconvert dvd" and, since there was not an adequate answer, I provided one. Believe it or not, most people still don't have a clue about HD. Why, were you waiting 2 years for someone to reply so you could have something to argue about? Typical...

Why were you even searching for it if you already knew the answer?
