Another +1 for buying the BDP-83 directly from Oppo is that they give you free stuff. A couple of months after buying the BDP-83 from them they sent me an Blu Ray Audio Calibration Disc and HD Music Sampler from AIX Records. Also they shipped it out promptly via Fed Ex Ground. I had my BDP-83 in a couple of days after ordering.

When a vowel is followed by another vowel, the first vowel becomes short...ergo, "Ah-poe" and not "Oh-Poe". But English has funny rules that often run contrary to the laws of physics!

Slightly OT but I must say.. I am impressed with the Oppo. I upgraded mine from 04-26 to the latest firmware and although I first had to jump to an interim version, all went as smooth as butter! Simple, clear and concise instructions helped a lot. The whole deal took about 10 mins.
Also I had not received my calibration disk that Oppo has been sending customers. I just sent an email to service@oppodigital.com and got a reply back within 15 mins stating that they'll send me a disk. No fuss, no bother. Great customer service.

Great customer service. that's in part why I took the plunge. Heard way too many great things about their customer service, not too mention is superior SQ and PQ . .

I had the same question when I bought mine, but ended up buying from Amazon since I had free 2-day shipping at the time. The Benchmark calibration disk came in the box. I receeved the AIX audio setup disk a week after I registered my player on the oppo website.

I receeved the AIX audio setup disk a week after I registered my player on the oppo website. I chose buying from Oppo directly but I did like the Amazon shipping (2 days!). That almost swung it for me. I am still waiting for mine even though I ordered it 6 days ago. Patience . . . patience . . . patience . . . ;D It should arrive tomorrow, so I don't have much longer to wait.

I have to say i am very impressed with how fast Oppo is. I ordered the BDP-83 from the Oppo website on saturday and it will be at my doorstep at 10:00 this morning (tuesday). Fed ex just called to say they were on thier way. This has to be the quickest delivery i have ever had. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

The Oppo blu ray player is also the top rated one by Consumer Reports. That's unusual for a product from a small specialty company to even be noticed by a mag like that...but they have some really nice things to say about it.
