That sounds like good advice. The Samsung was a Christmas gift so I will have to wait until it breaks to replace it...maybe it will break soon.
OR, another convenient solution which is probably the best of both worlds is to buy the Oppo and move the Samsung in to the bedroom or another room where you might have a television. In my case, just prior to purchasing Oppo's first BR player(BDP83), I had a Panasonic that I eventually moved to another room where it is still functioning today.
It is interesting to note that since I started my "Oppo odyssey", in every case, when I wanted to update to the latest model I was able to sell the previous model and get a pretty fair price for it. Since they have a longer "shelf life" in terms of updates and superior after market service, I found like many others that Oppo's BR units, in particular, have considerably better resale value than the usual mainstream players.
