The reviews I've read of the combi players indicate they aren't that hot with standard DVD, either

So far, it seems that the standalone blueray and combi players are poor to mediocre at deinterlacing and upconverting standard DVD's, while even the entry level Toshiba HD DVD players do a good job with same.

Anyone who wants both formats considering a combi player would be better off buying a Toshiba A2 or A3 and one of the entry level blu players-the Toshiba A3 can be found for $199 or less, and the word is the entry level Sharp blu player is a good performer and can be found for $299.
