Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player Gets Near-Perfect CNet Rating
7:45AM September 5, 2009 | Wilson Rothman
As a fan of “universal” disc players, I understand why CNet loved the slow-to-arrive Oppo BDP-83, which sucks in BD, CD, DVD as well as SACD and DVD-Audio. The downside? $US500, but still no Wi-Fi or VOD. [CNet via CrunchGear]
Universal refers to it being able to play SACD and DVD-A discs. As standard, it is not region-free for blu-ray, but it is for DVD. You can get region-free modded players, or aftermarket kits that make it fully region-free. Checkout Ebay for starters.
