The DVD Shootout used to get new batches of players added every few months. Lately, though, they seem to have shifted their approach - instead of adding a whole bunch at once, they have been posting one at a time as they finish testing.

The Sherwood does look pretty promising. I've got another idea that may be a bit odd in a discussion of all-in-one-box universal players. If you want both a universal player and an upconverting player, you might consider what I've ended up doing (although I stumbled into it). I've got the Oppo for DVD-Video, which I'm very pleased with, and I've got a Yamaha DVD-S1500 that I now just use for CD, DVD-Audio, and SACD. There are some pretty popular Pioneer universal players that cost less than the Oppo, and the combination of one of those and the Oppo would set you back less than $400.
