I'm looking to get a HD player and am really leaning towards HD DVD over Blu Ray. The main 2 factors 1) HD DVD has more titles I like, particularly comedies and 2) it's cheaper than Blu Ray. I have a 40" 1080p Bravia LCD. So here's the thing. I have a Xbox 360 core system, no HDMI output so the best I can get from that is 1080i, that's what my tv says when i turn my 360 on. The 360's HD DVD add-on player is down to $129.99 at Toys R Us, that really caught my attention. But again, i'm going through component cables at 1080i with the 360. Would I see any noticeable difference between that or if i bought a stand alone 1080p outputting HD DVD player? I've read tons of posts where people completely swear that there is no difference really between 1080i and 1080p. So i don't really know what to do.

It won't matter since the Sony has a pretty good deinterlacer. Your HDTV will show 1080p no matter what you feed into into it. If you have your current setup and send a 1080i signal the Sony deinterlaces this and displays 1080p. If you have the new 360 with HDMI and send 1080p the deinterlacing happens in the machine and not the TV. Either way you still get a 1080p picture.

It will upconvert DVD's that you've burned but original store-bought copy protected DVD's will not upconvert thru component - only thru HDMI.

No problem.

Good luck with the 360 add-on. You'll love the improvement in PQ from HD DVD's.
