Best DVD player that upscales below £100?

Basically want a DVD player that's capable of good upscaling - what do people recommend?

The newest release of XBox Media Center (by new, I mean it came out literally a few days ago), has full support for DVD's, menu's and all, and upscales.

It's alright, hardly anything to get Oppo worried, but if you wanna do it on the uber-cheap...

TBH at that budget, the odds are an upscaling DVD will give you a *worse* image than letting the display upscale it for you. Unless of course you plan on cheaping out on the display!!! But if needs must I think the Toshibas are meant to be good.

Try searching the DVD players forum. Tons of threads on upscaling.

Or try this search for upscaling DVD players
