The Oppo BD 83 is almost as fast as the PS3.


I don't have a PS3 but I have read some load time tests that compare the two that say the complete opposite.


And your point is? I'm full of shit maybe?

I have and use both.


I guess so. People that own both have done tests that have been documented on the internet and they state otherwise. During the beta stage of the BDP-83 the PS3 was documented at slightly higher load times on average except for when using chapters and it seems Oppo has bested them with sucessful firmware updates. All you state is one is faster without any factual evidence as opposed to other people that have exact seconds of load times of different players with a wide variety of disks. Thats information I am going off of. Do you do firmware updates on your players?

Ya, I figured as much. I feel no need to time my players. Those that do need to get a life, much like those that cling to their testing results. From the moment I walk up to each player that is powered off, till the time I see something on my screen, the PS3 is faster. Not by much, but fast enough that I don't need a stop watch to verify. And yes, I keep firmware up to date on all my machines. I have a laptop for that very purpose that rarely leaves the theater unless I'm using it for vehicle diagnostic testing and tuning.

Ken - what is it again that you want? I'm selling my DVDO VP50pro and Oppo 981. The 981 is modified for SDI. Spectacular up-conversion for SD-DVD with this combo.
