I'd sure like to know how long the load time is for a Blu Ray disc. My Panasonic takes forever. I know the Oppo 83 has real fast load time and would be curious about this one.
I would hope it is good. I have the 83 (hopefully on its way back from being modded) in the main system, a Samsung 2500 in the bedroom system and a PS3 in the basement system. I'd guess the Samsung is slowest but it is not terrible and not by tons. I have a (regular old) Oppo 980 in the bedroom system to play audio formats. I don't use the bedroom system tons (although I may be upgrading the 42 inch 1080p LCD soon), otherwise I'd think about getting it. If I needed room for another component, I'd probably want an all in one machine but I can't think of anything I need in the immediate future (but I'd be happy to take suggestions

)
