What's the best movie disk player for the Pioneer 6070 HD plasma (720 w/1080 HDMI inputs)

Posted by artemus on May 12, 2008 at 08:35:47:
I just ordered the 6070 at a great price so I couldn't turn it down. It was half the price of the 6010FD which itself was a really good price So now I need a dvd player of some sort.
I'm pretty much new to the HD market so I'm not sure of all the technologies vs hype/marketing. IE, the specs on this tv say "1080p/24Hz Compatibility for HDMI and Component" So what does that mean? Can I play bluray? At 1080 or 720? Is it worth the extra $$$ spent to get the bluray player for this tv? Or would an up converting DVD player like the Oppo be a better decision?
Thanks for your help
