NOW you tell me (about the shipping delay)! I almost went with "Priority" shipping, but the cost would have been about 20 bucks more. I am REALLY anxious to get my hands on this set while I'm still in Stan and Ollie Mode.

Re: up-converting .... there's gonna be disappointment if my regular DVDs don't look as nice on the Insignia as they have on the Sony. I still play DVDs 95% of the time and rarely a Blu disc.
