Hi Eric - the Xbox 360 is limited to component ouputs, and does not have Upconversion capabilities. Late this year Microsoft will be releasing an HD DVD add-on, which will add this functionality. There is no way to compare its Upconversion capabilities until the new drive is released.

For the time being, the best budget Upconverting DVD Players are the Oppo 970 and Oppo 971. Enjoy!
