Where to buy Oppo 970HD dvd player in Canada ?

[RJC]

Just bought a Panasonic TC-32LX600 lcd tv this past week. I am now looking for an upconverting dvd player with hdmi output. Narrowed it down to the Sony dvp-ns75h or the Oppo 970hd. Does anybody know where I can buy the Oppo in Canada, or how much it will cost to have it shipped from the U.S. including duty taxes etc. to Ontario?

There's a site called Only Best Rated (http://onlybestrated.com/) that is the Canadian reseller of Oppo's products.

I'm not sure where you're located, but if you're anywhere near Toronto, you can actually pick up your Oppo instead of waiting for it to be shipped, as they're located just north of T.O.

Incidentally, I've read of one or two of us Canucks who found that they saved money by ordering the Oppo from the States. Even with the exchange rate, it seems to be less expensive. But I don't know how much it comes to, sorry.

cheers,

Thanks. I checked it out. They sell the Oppo for $166.99 CAD (looks like they just apply the exchange rate to the U.S. selling price).Shipping is around $14.00 and then of course GST and PST. I don't see how it would be less expensive from the U.S. but I'll look into it. Thanks again.
