one off:any reason given for the cancellationLook back a few posts and you will see the official reason. Whether the Sony pushing them down to 4* and henceforce losing them 100s of sales had anything to do with it, I could not possibly comment.

Well you can still buy the US version so why not run them anyway, there are hundreds of people who've bought one and hundreds more that will continue to buy the Oppo who'd love to read the comparisons you'd be publishing. Why rip up perfectly valid work, just add a disclaimer.

Don't we get a sneak preview then before it goes through the shredder?

Don't start that one again, I think you know what the answer will be!

Trust me Clare, you are not nearly as annoyed as I am. I have a pile of Blu-rays that have been waiting for this player to arrive. If I had not just had a call from the surgery telling me that the funny lines between my eyes are safe and not due to high cholesterol levels I would have punched a hole in my laptop.

We're going to keep the review of the Oppo BDP-831 online, with a disclaimer, but there's no point wasting precious magazine pages on a product you can't buy - plenty more useful things we can add in for those looking for a new player.
Will Harris:If that's true then it's back to buying an 83 with region free mod from CRT Projectors
At least they can be bought, even if it's not the UK version everyone's been waiting for and at a slightly higher price. Humph!
One more puff for your mate who's selling the modded US version and the ban button will have the safety guard removed again...

You have got to be kidding me !
They went to all the hassle of arranging review copies, creating all those magazine reviews etc. and then at the last minute pull a whole product launch ? Sheesh.

Glad I bought my Sony S760 last week. Buy now while stocks last, I suspect they will be hard to come by soon.

Well...This is...Wow...
Nice one Oppo.
Anyhoo, fun 'n' games eh, folks

Will Harris:The 71 is the same inside for HDMI use as the 51. So you're basically wasting your money if you buy a 71 and connect via HDMI. That's my view. There are plenty of reviews that state this. They look very alike too.
The PS3 is brilliant but will not stream .iso BluRay files or a host of other file formats. That's the only downside with the PS3 or I'd get one in a flash. No coaxial digital output and I must say I've had better experiences with coax than optical. But that could have something to do with using the cheapest most rubbish optical ever and bending it a lot. Or the input output circuitry on one not being a match for the other.
I'm using a BDP-LX91 via HDMI and I'm not wasting my money.........

Now, if someone released a player with Mr Reeve's endorsement, my pre-order would be in like a rat up a drainpipe!

So is it fair to conclude the Pioneer is the winner?
If you're talking about the Pioneer BDP-LX52, then yes - superb player

It wasn't the fact it only got a 4 star review that put them off distributing in this country, then?

The mighty pioneer bdp-lx71 has seen off the Oppo, now it has been suggested the pioneer bdp-lx52 is better than the
pioneer bdp-lx71/08/51fd.
Have seen the two in home test's the 52 was sent packing by a country mile.
The 71 had better picture, sound and build quality.
The 52 is going down now Claire Newsome

If you're going to get irrationally angry with our opinion (yet again), then at least take the bother to spell my name correctly.
