Indeed!

Remember that the Awards are about so much more than the first few days after the results come out - they will have an effect on sales up to Christmas and well in 2010.

By the way Claire, did the Oppo win an award LOL !!!!!!!

AndrewH13:I understand from Claire, WHAT Video is nothing to do with WHAT Hi-Fi

And Claire is nothing to do with Clare...

You mis-understand. Of course, I meant Claire from the What Video subscription helpline!

Golly, she must be busy...

She looks a touch anorexic to me.

 

[Andrew Everard]

No, she's the one at another company - do try to keep up...

I know she's the one at the other company. She still looks anorexic.

As is appropriate, in the circs...

The is a rumor on AVSforums that the BDP-831 has a plastic front, and not the nice brushed aluminum front of the BDP-83?

Is there anyone who has seen them both and can comment on this rumor?

The BDP-831 has an aluminium front...

i was under the impression that the only difference was the number. But what does it matter, you don`t seem able to buy one anyway!

Do we have an idea when Oppo are going to get this website live ? I've been waiting weeks now and am getting near the point where I'm just going to go order something else.

Would you even have a phone number that they could have setup we could call and place orders on ?

Thanks,

Roy.

 

[Clare Newsome]

When I spoke to Oppo last week, they seemed confident the site would go live this week. It's only Tuesday...

so after today, there's only three more working days until we're all disappointed again!

Thanks Clare.

I sold my Naim DVD5 about a month ago and I'm now getting asked by my wife, when is that new player coming out, as she's got nowhere to play the Baby Einstein DVD's for our son on at present !

Every day's a working day in web-world (don't we just know it!)

 

[Big Aura]

that's just you lot (particularly Mr E, who appears to be attached, Matrix-stylee, to this place!). The rest of the world switches off at 17:29 on a Friday!

hammill:Although I share your impatience, before considering the Oppo (I had never heard of the company), I read every review I could ( there are a lot in the US) and I have never come across a more favourably reviewed product (83) or company. Apart from the gushing reviews of the product, Oppo appear to be extremely responsive to any problems. Building a reliable easy to use e-commerce site is non trivial and I imagine Oppo don't want the first impression of UK shoppers to be unfavourable.

A working e-commerce site can be set up in minutes using 3rd party facilities. While a good professional & bespoke site is of course a larger undertaking it's not something that isn't done every day successfully, so failure to provide anything but a netspace providers holding page doesn't inspire me with confidence... Evan a basic site offering little more than marketing gumph about their soon-to-be available wonderful machine would be a bit more professional and hold peoples interest, perhaps taking email addresses so they can inform/remind everyone of it's launch... This could be done from scratch in a morning by someone with basic web design skills... as it stands it all seems a bit amateurish, and as a "new" brand is the last thing they need.
