Ironically, I play mostly PS2 games. I too have a launch 60 GB (but it has a 250 GB drive in it now). I'm pretty exclusive to RPGs, and am a huge fan of Atlus (especially the Shin Megami Tensei series); do some Final Fantasy too.

I've really been considering the Oppo. I'll probably wait until I get back from Europe in the fall. I doubt the price will fall any (not Oppo's style), but there are still a few bugs I think I'd trigger; so I'll wait until they're squished.

My PS3 plays SACDs, and I have the last Pioneer Elite flagship DVD player they made, the DV-79AVi, which handles my DVD-As. It's also been modded to be region-free so that takes care of that. The only thing I can't do is play out-of-zone BDs (not even the Oppo does that), nor zone-free PAL BDs (the Oppo will do that). So, I'm reasonably set for now, though I think the Oppo will do a better job scaling DVDs, and will surely be quieter than the first-gen PS3 (or any, for that matter).
