I don't think OPPO is necessarily changing directions. You can still buy their non-Blu Ray universal players at very inexpensive prices and their quality is considerably above the usual suspects, such as Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, LG, etc.
While their universal Blu Ray players are about $100-$150 more than the consumer grade Sony's, Samsung's, LG's, and Panasonics--they also provide better visuals and sonics.
With the new 3D OPPO BDP 93 that is also a universal Blu Ray with internet connections, you definitely are paying $100-$150 nore for considerably better performance. I imagine when the OPPO BDP 95 arrives at around $900 in March, it will be comparable to a Marantz 9400, which costs around $5,000.
