My question is this:

If and when I get a Blu-ray player will it play / up convert my regular dvds? I have quit an extensive collection of dvds that I hope to buy an up converter for. Will a blu-ray player do this? Or is an up converting player a completely different unit?

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. - Jules Winfield

Depending on what brand you buy, yes...My PS3 upconverts my DVD's quite nicely...It is hands down the best blu-ray player you can buy, simply because it has the ability to upgrade its Firmware for all the latest additions available for Blu-ray, now and upcoming in the future..something the stand alone players out now cannot do....

I'm pretty sure all Blu-ray players can also up-convert regular DVD's. I am yet to see one that doesn't.
