There's no arguing the Oppo is great for DIVX and Xvid files, and it's region free capabilities, thats why I still have it. And even if you rip an R2 DVD to strip it's region coding, the HD-DVD players won't output PAL discs. So it is a decision there. With HD-DVD players you get much much better PQ, and with the Oppo you get region free and Divx discs. I myself will side with PQ every time(especially with a 65in screen), but I have both so I'm one to talk.
