I wanna new DVD Player ...


Hi Everyone,

I seem to have come down with a touch of upgraditis in the DVD player

I've got a very basic Pioneer DV-363 connected by component cable to an LG Plasma (42" 1080i).

Here's my quandry: do I wait for a winner in the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray war or go with an upconverting regular DVD player (one of the better Marantz/Denon/Integra/Rotel/etc...). I'm kinda leaning towards the upconverting regular player for two reasons:

1. my tv is 1080i and at less than a year old, won't be upgraded any time soon.

2. the "format wars" give me a headache and with my luck, I'd end up with this generation's BetaMAX if try to pick between Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.

I'll probably make my purchase early next year after the budget recovers from Christmas, so I have plenty of time to shop and decide.

Any advice offered here will be greatly appreciated.
