Boy, you just can't read, can you? 
 
If they are doing something "new" and "special" in the HD-DVD players 
for upconvert, it will be available in a few months in a standard DVD 
player that upconverts.

I read three snippets where one guy says it's "some of the best I've 
ever seen" with nothing as a reference.  So, he's saying it's not crap, 
which is what I would expect from a $500 upconverting DVD player. 
 
Then, we have one guy comparing it to a Sony 9100ES, which is definitely 
nowhere near the best upconversion (although it is good). 
 
Last, we have this glowing endorsement: 
 
  "...looked a little better than other upconverting non-HD players 
   i've seen.  I cant say it looked as good as true Hd source DVD but 
   is was more than acceptable." 
 
Wow, get out my checkbook.

How about *every* one of those reviews you listed and the quality of 
upconversion over component video?  Since the HD-A1 doesn't do it at 
all, there are many, many upconverting DVD players that look a lot 
better. 
 
Again, if you read around AVS Forum, you'll see that nobody who is 
serious about getting quality from upconverting DVDs will use a CE player 
to do so.
