Nice!!! I really like that brushed aluminum finish. I wonder what the price point will be

**nakamuj** · **12-16-08, 07:32 PM**

Price may be between USD 499 - USD 599 with a release off by March, but this is just an estimated date.

Seems pricey but the features looks like this player delivers. A buddy of mine just got the sony BDP-S550 and it has about the same features as this one but he got his for almost $200 less than this player. Just wonder with the price difference will the player have that much additional quality to sound and/or picture.

I think the big thing with these will be the upconversion of SD-DVD, which oppo is so well known for.

**mcallister** · **02-16-09, 06:58 AM**

Any word on a release date for these yet? I've been looking for an all in one solution. I'm currently using a PS3 for Blu-ray and SACD (I hate SACD over HDMI on the PS3) and my trusty Toshiba SD-9200 for Redbook and DVD-A.

I know the 9200 is a few years old but it has a great reputation for its sound quality. How do you think the BDP-83 will compare?

The Oppo BD-83 can play SACD and DVD-A formats as well as any SD DVD material and Blu-Ray. There aren't many that can do all of those formats. and the one i do know that does is about 3-4x more.

Oh! If this comes out before June and upconverts SD DVD nearly as well as the 983H, then I will have a new player. New house comes in July, new plasma/LCD and BD player somewhere right around there.

I got a E-mail from Oppo asking if I wanted to be one of the early adopters. I said YES. but alas

there were only 50 and I did not get choosen. March does look like the realese date though.

**olddog** · **02-28-09, 12:38 PM**

Also it would appear the final price should be 499.00 to 599.00 as the EAP program price was 499.00 if you were picked.

**chas** · **02-28-09, 07:25 PM**

I'm hoping they'll move quickly on following this release with a lower priced blu ray player.

**Sonnie** · **03-01-09, 01:12 PM**

I can't believe those doofus heads at oppo didn't even offer me a early adoption...

**rcarlton** · **03-01-09, 01:18 PM**

Didn't pick me, either. Oh well.

**Owen Bartley** · **03-01-09, 04:58 PM**

I'm dying to know more about this thing. I've read some of the early reviews, and I catch up on the updates when I can, and it looks like a VERY nice piece.

**CharlieU** · **03-07-09, 07:17 PM**

I didn't get picked either, but I say bravo to Oppo for their EAP. Many Blu-ray manufacturers have been doing this for a while. They just forget to tell the consumer that it is an EAP.

The reviews I have seen have been very positive and it appears that the "Fortunate Fifty" are finding problems in areas I would never use. I expect that when this unit is released, the bugs will be few and only in areas where few tread.
