re: your deleted post

You deleted before I hit "post", but here's my reply anyway:

I hope you're closer to the actual release date than I am. I have an oppo 983 DVD player and can attest to their commitment to video (audio is pretty good, given the price-point).

My only concern is that they release the player when it's fully capable of delivering on its feature list -- not before. For example, they should not release the player if it can't decode DTS-HD Master Audio to PCM and deliver the codec via bitstream. Since it will be a Profile 2.0 player, it should be BD Live capable on Day 1, not via a firmware update.

As for All-Region DVD playback, that would be nice. However, I don't think that's an option that people should count on due to the player being a Blu-ray player first. The chips on the inside and what they're allowed to "get around" are a bit more strict via the Blu-ray format.
