Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
II agree with you 100%. Stop the whining! This player is a bargain at $499.00 for everything that it does. Oppo could have very easily asked for more for this player and would have gotten it. The only other universal player available is the Denon DVD-A1UDCI which has a MSRP of $4,500.00. Also, the only other players that this player is currently being compared to is the Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD, Sony BDP-S5000ES, Denon DVD-3800BDCI and recently the Denon DVD-A1UDCI; and the Oppo fared very well.
If $499.00 is not your price point and you have no use for SACD, DVD-A and all the other media support and customer support that is 2nd to none, then the Oppo is definitely not for you. There are plenty of options below this price point. Pick the one that best suits your needs and budget.
