I wonder though if it is as good upconverting SD as my XA2 is? The XA2 just does a marvelous job.
Yeah, the upconverting of standad DVDs was added in update 1.4. Seems to do a terrific job, but I have no reference with other players (I kinda doubt it does it as well as a dedicated scaler).

Oh, one thing that is also pretty neat: as soon as you insert a disc, it switches itself on and goes into movie mode. No mucking around with PS3 menus etc... it's like Sony knew many buyers wouldn't even look twice at their games.
