If they do it right, the new player from oppo will at least equal the PS3 in Blu-ray picture quality and equal (or better, as the ABT architecture has the ability to output DVDs at 1080p24) their own 983 in DVD picture quality. One box instead of two.

As for playback of all DVD regions, like I said many many moons ago, the BDA is not the group that oppo wants to piss off. They will either play nice or they may find that there's no playing at all. However, in another year or two, who knows? But again, DVD Decrypter/DVD Shrink (or other similar programs) can make up for a player not playing the original non-Region 1 discs and can make the disc play the way you want it to and without all of the restrictions.
