Sony announces new upscaling DVD player

Sony announced today the DVP-NS708H, an upscaling DVD player. The DVP-NS708H upscales Standard Definition DVDs to 1080p, 1920x1080 Full HD images with progressive scanning and comes with a HDMI interface.

Of course it also playbacks CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM,  JPEG, SVCD and MP3 and is also capable of reading DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW discs as well DivX content.

It has a 12 bit/108 MHz Noise Shaped Video D/A Converter on board and also features Sony PhotoTV HD. Besides HDMI it also has component video and  
coaxial digital output. Unfortunately no price and release information has been given.

Is upscaling the solution for those who want to enjoy their movies in HD without having to purchase an expensive Blu-ray player and movies?

DukeNukemThe specs look good, I'm sure pricing is reasonable, the player probably looks nice, plays DivX/Xvid... but then they had to put the Sony name on the front. Why did they have to do that? I might have bought one. Why couldn't they have put a photo of a fat chick with buck teeth and a lazy eye on the front? That would have been less offensive to me. DukeNukem... spreading peace and tranquility on CDFreaks since 2004.

Hey Sony, why do we need overpriced Beta-ray crap if an upscaling DVD player does much the same job ? Oh that's right, HollyWart has you by the balls.
