Upscaling DVD player in UK.

Hi all

I have just bought a Panasonic TH42PX60B plasma screen, and I will be using my Xbox 360 to play HD-DVD's. However, I was just wondering if there was any benefit in buying an upscaling DVD player to play my Standard def DVD's. Will I see that much of a difference compared to a normal player bearing In mind my current one is nothing special.

I was thinking of getting either a Samsung HD-960 (If i can get my hands on one) or a Sony NS76H.

Anyone got any comments / alternative player suggestions?

Thanks :-)

Get a new standalone from Pioneer, they have upscalers built in.
