The Yamaha looks like a good deal for what it is. I have a Yamaha DVD player, and it's quite heavy and sturdy compared to some of the LG, Samsung and others that I've seen. And it actually looks like an audio component.
To bad I can't get it with Blu-ray for $100, but that same basic player with Blu-ray goes for $400. At that price, I'd kick in $100 more and get the Oppo.
