Here's a list of features I'd like on a new Oppo that would actually make me buy one:
-The eSata port brought back; I already use the back USB port for the wireless adapter, it's nice to have a high-speed hard drive connection like the eSata right next to it to connect my external hard drive for high-resolution playback of flac and wav files. For some unexplained reason, Oppo got rid of it. Surprised Andrew's review made no mention of this.
-Fixed bugs in the firmware that currently make my Oppo BDP-93 turn off when inserting a new Blu-Ray disc half the time (seems like a persistent storage issue), or freeze up when I'm browsing the hard drive interface and I click on a inside folder that has one album's files full of wav files, or sometimes freeze the functionality of the eject button, causing me to hard reset the unit all the time
-Better Netflix interface that the one the Oppo uses that's completely blown away by the one Sony uses on their PS3, or even the cheapo Sony BDP-S790 player in my bedroom
So far I don't see Oppo has addressed any of the gripes I have with my current model in their new one. Why should I bother buying another Oppo player? Really, I only wanted this unit because it plays SACD, DVD-Audio along with Blu-Ray without being über expensive, but I'm tired of all the bugs. And yes, I already sent it to Oppo about a year ago with these issues, they said they worked on it but all of the above issues persist.
