Hi Cam:

As far as Blu-Ray goes I've seen the new Sony 350 model for as low as $199 Cdn recently usually around $229.

As for the OPPO 980 I got mine from Only Best Rated.comh is in Ontario. Fast shipping and good service. Listed at $203 Cdn plus shipping at the moment. You do get Divx functionality,a USB input and DVD Audio/SACD as well with the OPPO so that may be a consideration.
