Yahoo! I can't wait.

I just finished ordering one, and am kinda excited. I already have three BD movies. Have had them for awhile. Finally finished delivering phone books, so I told my wife that I was going to go ahead and order it. It shouldn't take longer than a week to get it, should it?
One of the movies I got, she loves. Every time it's on tv, she watches it (Independence Day). I've watched the other two on a friend's setup, but was saving ID, to be our first movie on the Oppo. When I can, I'll get the two Men In Black movies for her too, so she'll feel better about it.
Did I say I can't wait?
I'm anxious to see how the movies look on my big 61" screen. Gonna have to get a movie too, with a true 7.1 soundtrack. I know a couple I'd like...........

Good for you Ed! Enjoy, as somebody that bought his first BR player when there was less than 20,000 sold units, I think you'll enjoy your new HT experience.

And remmember Ed, proper setup and calibration is eccential to getting the most out of your new BR player

. Congrats on the new purchase.

. BTW, I'm only about 25 miles from OPPO so I picked mine up the next day myself. This is going to be one of the longest weeks of your life

Oh I know. I'm already so antsy, I can hardly stand it!
As well as the BD movies, I can't wait to listen to my sacd and dvd-audio discs too. I'll be making some room on the stand by removing the Denon 2200. That was one reason I wanted the Oppo. There's a guy on CL that listed a Toshiba HD DVD player w/8 movies, for $15. I may see if he still has it. I figured I can use that to watch regular dvds upscaled, and save wear and tear on the Oppo. I'm not counting on him still having it though. For $15, it can't be beat.....

yipeee congrats! to go from no blu-ray players (i assume) to the 83 is a huge step! i think a lot of people upgrade steadily from @least 1 standalone or other BD capable players (like BDROM) toward 83 =).
oh and don't forget about the SACD/DVD-Audio capabilities. i know there aren't new titles, but of the older titles that exist, they still sound awesome, like dark side of the moon 5.1 ;)

Thanks Jedi.............
SACD & DVD-Audio are part of the reason I went with this player. I like that they play over HDMI, and I don't have to jump back and forth from multi-channel. You're right too, that I went from no BD player, to the Oppo. This thing is awesome! The movies are looking and sounding great too. Having a 61" screen doesn't hurt either...............
Occasionally, a jazz or classical SACD still comes out. Not heard of any new DVD-Audio discs coming out in a long time though. It's a real shame too. I can't believe that people rather lister to mp3 tracks, than the hi res tracks.

yeah i luv pop music in SACD =). i wish they released more =(. Blu-Ray seem to be the new replacement =). if you read wikipedia's explanation of Blu-Ray spex, technically profile "3.0" is AUDIO-ONLY!
i read that 24/192 is only available in 5.1, 7.1 is limited to 24/96.
