    Talk me out of buying an Oppo BDP-93

    The bad news? My Oppo started giving me issues with disc loading, etc. last week. Oppo customer support was kind of clueless other than reluctantly agreeing to let me send it back for repair. The good news? It was (barely) within the Amazon return time-frame, so I have a new player. I had to...

    Talk me out of buying an Oppo BDP-93

    I wish I'd known about this mod last month when my wife and I were in Paris on our honeymoon (that being said, there was a lot of eye-rolling on her part when I went into a couple of record stores, so hitting video retailers probably would have resulted in the same treatment).

    Talk me out of buying an Oppo BDP-93

    Hey guys, my wife and I just got a 93 with our wedding money and it's amazing. I just ordered the IMEG mod after reading the (few) reviews on the web and grabbed a copy of SHALLOW GRAVE on BD from Amazon.co.uk. Happy to have a BR player that doesn't require a separate DVD player for upscaling!
