Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player Gets Near-Perfect CNet Rating

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]

    Is it an Actual universal disk player? as in, is it region free? for blurays? (I herd there was one 7.5k McIntosh one coming out that was…).

    can you get them in Aus?

      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.
