That's an Internet myth.  Lifetime can only be extended in purchase price increments of $10.

That is also a myth....have you heard about free to play and the relationship of power ups and time played?  EX:  Play 10 hours, get 1 gold coin which you can use in the shop....for a health and life which is worth 200 gold pieces.  Free*....*according to the devil who built such an absurd system

I have owned the DV-970HD and the DV-981HD.  For audio, the one to get is the DV-981HD, it is the special one.  You can also install third party firmware to play burned SACD and DVD-A discs.  If it gives you any problems, you can send it in to Oppo and they will fix it and send it back for $75.  Of the 50 or so CD ayers I have, it is the one hooked up to my Odyssey/Thiel system.

Thanks. Hard to believe a DV981 will show up but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Hmmm.... perhaps we should move this thread to the Jokes and Humor section.

No, but what is one supposed to make of a question that has no answer and infinite answers?

If something is bought used for $30, what is a reasonable usage one would expect from it (years/months/hours) before it dies?

If you need a player to last forever, get a Sony.  The thrifts are swimming in them (or used to,  I've kicked that habit).  Most sound at least pretty good and the ES series better than many.
