The flexibility to play discs from other regions is another factor worth considering before selling ANY Oppo DVD player, IMO.
The Oppo 983H is a superb upscaling player, but even if (fill in the blank) BR player performed that function better, it would still lack that important region conversion capability. Apparently Oppo's new BR player (like all other BR players, except those modified aftermarket) is region LOCKED, meaning that it will NOT convert DVDs from other regions to the NTSC signal as part of the licensing agreement with 'the powers that be' (the Blu-ray Cartel, ...err Consortium).
The bottom line: BD players that do not at least allow region conversion of DVDs aren't backwards compatible replacements for those that do, if you collect foreign fare on DVD.
Joe, if you DO decide to sell your 983, it won't surprise me if your player is snapped up quickly and the buyer pays you a bit more for it than you did from Oppo!
