I, too, am going to splurge on the Momitsu as a Region-B player... and it's waaaay cheaper than buying a modified American BD player!

I can see your point. We've got the best of both worlds right now! It seems to me that most of the people that are gushing over the BD83 (rightfully so, no doubt) have no prior experience with Oppo. So I can understand their delight. But to me, Oppo took a step forward and one backward, so I'm debating the Momitsu right now myself to complete my "universal" status. The only worry I have is the level of the company's firmware update support. Does anyone have any previous Momitsu experience?
