Would you trade a PS3 for an Oppo BDP-83?

But the PS3 has some great games coming in the very near future, so I think the better way to go is to keep it and save up. From what I've been told, the Oppo excels at upconversion and has greater audio capabilities, but 1080p over HDMI is a negligible improvement at best compared to the PS3.

Good point. If the PS3 offered subtitle placement (subtitles in cinemascope foreign films can be in the black bar, and cuts it out) and multichannel analog outputs (Not in the mood for a new receiver), I would still want to keep the ps3 without a second though. Then again I could wait and save, and still have a game console, for maybe if others want to play (some people are discouraging me selling my PS3).
