I want a multi-region Blu-Ray player - should I upgrade or buy a new player?

124.176.57.42

I have a Panasonic BDP-30 player which I am happy with. I can get a region-free mod chip kit for $150 USD.

Or I can get a mod-chipped Oppo 83 for about $800 USD.

Is it worthwhile buying a top-flight Oppo or Pioneer Blu-Ray player? Or are they all basically the same? I don't have anywhere local which sells the Oppo, so I can't try before I buy.

Cheers. Doug

Jack, are you referring to changing out the Oppo ribbon cable or is there a different mod available now? - Audiophilander 10:01:35 03/11/10 (3)

Ah, I see that the ribbon cable mod has evolved. - Audiophilander 11:09:17 03/11/10 (1)

A modified Oppo is hard to beat. - Audiophilander 01:02:16 03/11/10 (0)
