Sounds like it can only read from USB sticks.

your tv already has an upconverting scaler. Probably a half decent one if you paid over a grand for it recently and its one of the major brands.

You don't always get improved image quality with upconverting players. Sometimes you do, but only if the scaler on the dvd player is superior to the one already in the tv. Also the 2 scalers can also conflict with one another.

...

Online prices usually reflect in store prices...

It seriously can't be that hard to do some searching yourself

Just go to Bestbuys online site and browse, then phone the closest one to you and see if they have any.
