Hi-Def DVD players and upscaling

Some expensive DVD players now offer an upscaling facility to send a pseudo high definition digital signal to HD TVs. Before I fork out for one of these - I have a large DVD collection - does anyone know if the forthcoming DVD-HD and Blu-Ray DVD true hi-def players will also offer an upscaling facility?

They won't need an HD upscaler as they will already be in HD.....

But will they upscale non-HD DVDs?

Aha, sorry, misunderstood the question.

According to Tosh, there's will :

OBonio: Sorry but you seem to have missed the point.

Hammer: Quite. That is my question.

Perhaps I should have worded my question a little differently.
I simply want to know if the HD DVD players will ALSO play standard DVDs and upscale them. If they will, there is no need to spend �1000 plus (or whatever) on a standard DVD player with upscaling which will become outdated within months.
