Ya, and today you can get a Blu-ray player for less than $80. * By the way, good choice on the Panny BD60.

What would be the incentive to buy the BDP83 anymore, if a lesser model could do SACD & DVD-A over hdmi. The new model would target a Blu-ray/DVD only customer. Actually, this would be a good business move for OPPO as they would have all customer bases...

Even though I hate speculating, i would guess it will be a 980 with Bluray ability and SACD/DVD-A will be quietly unlocked with firmware to avoid licensing, same for DVD region free or the usual unlock code. Edit: I thought I read somewhere that this player would have multichannel...

Check also with a new HDMI cable, yours might be damaged, you probably have a good spare one around. Make sure all the connections are tight and fit, and that there are no damaged wires or bad connections. That'll be a good place...

Its the jolida 100A with the sylvannia gold NOS tubes. I am a confirmed tubehead now.

you have two options. The $300 dollar model is 120GB and the slightly more expensive bundle is 250GB.

It's not physically connected to my PC, I think I see some of my neighbours' Media Servers (Win7). Due to me having a gateway and no router I don't really have home network. I have disabled the setting in the options on the PS3, but it...

One thought I've had about this player that I didn't incorporate into the review is the fear of theft. In the past month there's been a rash of burglaries in my town (luckily they caught the band of crooks late last week), anyway, when hooked up with an HDMI, Ethernet, and power cable, it would take about 3 seconds to snatch this player out of my rack. The power cord would be easily replaced for the crook, but imagine having...

How would you rate the build quality, or which players could you compare it to? Any of the previous HD players? They all had nice build quality. also how's SD DVD upconversion? I really do wanna get this player, but I'm waiting for reviews, and a further price drop. right now on amazon its at $150 or so. I already own some 3 Blu players, but I would also like to own Sony's newest.. right now I'm stuck deciding this, or a...

Too bad the Oppo can't be available to customers on Black Friday. I'd take that thing over any other standalone. Already have 6 players now, geez. what a waste of money. Oppo is used more than my PS3 now. The picture quality IS better & there are a ton of cool features + easy firmware USB stick. Thats a HUGE positive because AVERAGE JOE people are not buying into the BD format Other than cost being #1, second came in for...
