My understanding is that the BDP-83 is shaping up to be quite a world-beater. If not for the $500-$700 price tag at it's release (that's including tax, shipping, currency exchange for Canadians, what have you), I think this product would literally start flying off the shelves of Oppo's warehouses. It could come close to being the best at everything it does right now... and it does a LOT.
Two extremely interesting (at least to me) threads devoted to this product are below:

If I had the money to put together a nice dedicated home theater system, I would find it very difficult not to go out and purchase this item... especially if it lives up to the hype. Thankfully(?), I do not. The
universal aspect of it is really very appealing to me, plus, I've had a very good experience with Oppo's in the past (the DV-980H is a great universal DVD player, BTW).
If price isn't a primary consideration in the purchase, people should strongly consider the Oppo BDP-83 when BD player shopping. Maybe even if it is!... lol.
