No, Oppo does not reveal details like that or leak them even to the original Beta testers over at AVS Forum. It will just happen when it happens, that is, when the list of those who have signed up on their website have all been offered the machine. It could be days, weeks or even months away. Anyone interested should sign up. It's not too late to do so. And, their policy is it can be returned in 30 days if you are not satisfied. Ground shipping in the US is not expensive, either - under $15.
Machines for other regions should follow more quickly, I think, because it is getting a good shakedown here. It already plays PAL videos, so changing region codes and AC input oughtn't be that big a deal. But, I could be wrong.
Early Adoption Program has concluded and the first batch of players have been shipped
I do not mean to get semantic here. Yes, the Early Adopter Program is concluded, but it is only in limited release to people who signed up on their website. That demand will be satisfied first by invitation before general public release. That official release date will be determined by supply/demand among the current invitees, and it seems to keep slipping because of the demand. You cannot go to their website or to Amazon and order it, because it is not yet an officially released product. It's not on their current product list, officially, in either place.
When I first heard about this player. So far, nothing from OPPO and no possiblity to order it somewhere (as far as I know).
Maybe the better question is: when will it be released for everybody?
I just received another Priority Ordering offer email which is valid until June 10th. May be you will received yours soon?

I went to the OPPO website and there is no way to order the player - just a link to sign up to be notified when it will be available.
Please clarify.
... is reserved for priority preorders. I signed up on Oppo website earlier on and received a priority preorder email almost a month ago

Click on the link and sign up. That's what I did. There is no obligation to buy at this point. You will be notified when a unit is available. If you have changed your mind, you can not repond to the email.
When all of these early "preorders" are filled, the player will appear on the website. It could be a long wait.
If you signed up for info about the Oppo Blue Ray before May then you will eventually receive an email asking if you want to purchase. They received 27,000 inquiries, so they have to email all of them and allow all of them to purchase before general release. The latest word is that sometime in June they will open the unit up for general release and you can then order it direct and through Amazon and other dealers.....we shall see. This unit is hot and incredible for the money and with proper mods this unit will deliver the goods.
It delivers them even without the mods. That's good enough for me.
I've heard Ric's work.

There was a sign up for early adoption. They first chose 50 users for the early adoption program and when those users voted they thought the product should be released they chose another 300 users. When those users voted the product should be released, they offered the player to those who signed up for he early adoption program. I was not among the chosen 350 but since I signed up I received an offer to purchase and then I ordered the player and received my BDP-83 May 14.
I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Great machine.
