OPPO pushes DV-980H upconverting DVD player for Mother's Day

Mum a little overwhelmed with digiframes? Fret not, as OPPO Digital is telling you straight up that a brand new upconverting DVD player is sure to make this Sunday one to remember. C'mon, even you know your mother wouldn't approve of spending a mortgage payment or two on a hamstrung Blu-ray player, and that much newer (and nicer) DV-983H just isn't worth the coin. Our only question is how desperate must you be (or overran with excess inventory) to pimp a 9-month old upscaling DVD player for Mom's Day? Ah well, we've certainly seen worse.

Produce a Blu-Ray player and I'm buying it. Chop chop!

Yeah, I will be all over a Oppo Blu-ray player!

They should be pitching this for Father's day not Mother's day.

Why is this posted on Engadget HD? Upconverting DVD players are so 2005.

mugatu, Oppo did announce that they were working on their first Blu-ray player (no doubt with stellar DVD upconversion included).

There is nothing wrong for OPPO DV-980H to be "9-month old". It is still one of the best players out there at around $150 - $180 price.
