I'm throwing around the idea of buying the 980 instead of the 983, being around $200 cheaper. I'm unsure how much the 980's shortcomings will really show over spending a pretty considerable amount more for the 983. I'll have to decide rather soon though.

Though I fear as we move more and more towards HD in one form or another, DVD player performance will decline more and more with this trend. This happened with LaserDisc and DVD, around '95 LD players hit their performance pinnacle and by the time DVD came around in '97 LD/LD & DVD combo players were "average" performers at best. So maybe the 983 isn't such a bad idea.

Also the 983 might be back in-stock sometime this week, so I'll be on the lookout.
