"a decent upscaling dvd player gives you 1080p, and at a quality thats very similar "
Sorry, that, just plain untrue, and sounds like the usual FUD that Microsoft and the like spread, when they don't have a solution. Once Microsoft have a 360 BD drive, all of a sudden, it will be as we have all known for ages, Blu-ray makes a MASSIVE difference...
You might want to check these screenshot comparisions of 1080p upscaled, to 1080p native.

I wouldn't want to be watching on a upscaled, when I have seen the difference a £279 PS3 can make to picture quality.
