I recently upgraded from a Panasonic BDT-230PK to an Oppo BDP-103, and while I loved them both, the upgrade was very much worth it.

Though I could see the Oppo as actually being a problem with testing, as it can take just about anything you throw at it, which would defeat the purpose of seeing if there are errors with lesser players.

Does your Oppo play BD-R's? I've read before that Oppo's removed BD-R Functionality. As for recommendations, I stand by the PS3. It literally plays everything, is as quick as any player on the market, isn't hugely expensive (oppo I'm looking at you) has network functionality and so much more. Pick up a $20 remote and you're good to go. As much as I'd like a traditional Standalone, the PS3 is just too good of a player with so much more to offer that I don't think I could choose anything else.

Yeah, it plays BD-R 25s and 50s with no problems, and handles just about any digital file I throw on a thumbdrive. I always had bad luck with the PS3 as not all files are compatible with it, but other than that I do agree that the PS3 is a fine blu-ray player. I just choose to not use it so it will last longer for my game collection.
