Well Jay, I did just that. I was holding out for the new Oppo but after getting a response from them this morning in regards to their release date, "We anticipate releasing the BDP-83 in March for a MSRP between $499 and $599" I bought the 980 today. I didn't want to get one of their higher models because I will be getting their Blu-ray player when it comes out so I hope the 980 will suffice and is a good unit.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
