I have a 981 and to tell you the truth since I got a PS3, I haven't turned the oppo on ... It does everything the oppo does and more.. The oppo is a fine machine for sure but for $200 more you get a lot more in a stand alone player! And with the free BR movies deals available it's a great way to get into the HD game for a minimal investment!
