I enjoyed my PS3 when I had it, and I didn't feel the video quality was lacking, even next to the Toshiba HD DVD player I have. I wasn't a fan of the fan noise, and I didn't like how easily it scratched, but overall I wouldn't call it a POS.
As far as the OPPO, I'm going to have to call on it soon. It's starting to hang up on DVDs when I pause it and then try to play it again, and a couple of times it hasn't wanted to boot up when I've turned it on. It just says HELLO on the front of the unit, and I have to power it off and try again. Other than these recent developments, I like the OPPO.
