Like the DVD/Blu-Ray comparisons you see, they always try and show DVD in the worst possible light. Basically they'll take a screen grab of a DVD connected by SCART or composite and then compare it to all singing all dancing HDMI 1080p and say "come here and witness the majesty of Blu-Ray". Well duh, of course Blu-Ray will look all that. But it speaks volumes. If they had so much confidence in it, they'd side-by-side test upscaled DVD over HDMI and put it next to the 1080p Blu-Ray. Especially in the PAL territories where we already have 576 vertical lines over NTSC's 480...upscaled 720x576 looks amazing, leaving Blu-Ray to shine only on the biggest of TV screens.
