Except this isn't official firmware, as discussed in the main Oppo BDP-83 thread (which I guess this'll be merged into shortly!). This will be a third party hack of the firmware, so the usual risks of it bricking your player apply, and as soon as Oppo release a new firmware you're reliant on it being hacked again if you want to update and remain region-free.

The link provided in the email would have been nice. Anyhow isn't this really old news? Or does this refer to a new hacked firmware? ie. not the 'beta 601' firmware, which has been available for a long time now.
PS: Link to hacked firmware -->
