Anyone own a OREI BDP-M2? I need a reg free player and it's right in my price range, maybe someone can convince me to buy it...or not
I have one as a secondary player. It was definitely worth the price for me! (I paid $125). Some things to consider:
Cons:
- Noisier than my Sony BDP-S470 (not enough to notice while watching a movie so not necessarily a con, just an observation)
- Occasionally it doesn't power all the way off (just unplug it and it works again). This has only happened to me 3 or 4 times. A couple amazon reviews also mention this issue.
- No streaming apps.
Pros:
- Easy region switching (as long as you don't loose the remote code. Lol. It's 8520). I leave mine set to B.
- NTSC <--> PAL conversion
- Plays the occasional PIXAR disc that has audio trouble in my Sony player (Brave and MU) perfectly fine.
I'm getting an Oppo in a few months, haven't decided on the 103 or 105 model yet. But from all the reviews I've seen, this thing blows other more expensive brands out of the water in terms of price point, value and features.

hey! Since you're also from Canada. I was wondering, where are you gonna purchase your Oppo? I'm kinda new o the online buying. was thinking of getting one too... thanks
Well, this Saturday, I went to buy my new player. Since I had such a good experience with my previous LG BD550, thought I'd stick with the same brand and ended up getting the LG BP-640. Beautiful!
