Absolutely. I have seen some of those titles and some of them I would actually take an upconverted DVD version long before it . It was what kinda put me off blu-ray to begin with. I was like $600 and this is all you get? Virtually every HD-DVD title that I have seen thus far has been outstanding. BTW how do the A2/A3 models compare with something like the 1080p 981 model from Oppo for up-conversion?
