Ok, so I got carried away like all others with Oppo features, and fan-boy reviews... ordered one and started using it. Since I am a bit of a Hifi guy, I asked my buddy to bring his blu-ray to do a back to back comparison to a Pioneer Elite BDP-05, connected to an Elite Plasma Kurp 9G, and here's what we found: from Amazon.com I almost purchased this Blu-ray player today. I, however, decided to wait and check with the local Pioneer dealer first from whom I purchased my Kuro Pro-151FD. The local dealer informed me that Pioneer discontinued this model already because of some problem with the firmware that actually requires the end-user to ship out the player back to Pioneer for repair or hardware rework, depending on how you want to look at it. from Amazon.com Great player recommend it to everyone, it boots up a little faster then my Sony 300 picture quality is great. I have always loved pioneer product and have nothing to bad to say about this Fantastic player. from Amazon.com I had to throw out my Sony because their firmware updates were only PC. That made it useless after about three months (wouldn't play ANY Blue Rays) Not to mention the fact that I could cook dinner before the damn thing powered up and started playing. The Pioneer is worth every penny. You will not regret this purchase. from Amazon.com Upconverting. I took a regular Lord of the Rings DVD into the local retailer and tested the upconversions. It is my opinion that this Pioneer had the best upconversion in the store. It's not a cheap player, but if you have a lot of regular DVD's, you'll appreciate paying the extra bucks to be able to watch instead of replacing your entire collection. from Amazon.com AMAZING picture quality! fast load times and no lag. The MAIN reason I love this player is the firmware updates are MAC COMPATIBLE!
