The Trojan Format War
Oppo! Oppo! Oppo! Like some excitable Greek around fried cheese! Oppo! The Oppo 1080p Up-Convert DVD Player is to video what pasticcio is to shepherds… delicious!
But what if you’re not one of the Appliance Eaters of Mt. Olympus? Well, then, you’ll just have to enjoy the Oppo 1080p Up-Convert DVD Player’s Faroudja video processing technology. Your DVDs will get a whole new look as they upconvert to 1080p. You’ll feel like they’re Blu-Ray or HD-DVD! But they won’t be, because the Oppo 1080p Up-Convert DVD Player can’t play Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. So it’s stupid of you to think so. Stop being so stupid. People are staring.
The Oppo 1080p Up-Convert DVD Player handles DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, SACDs, HDCDs, WMA, XviD, DivX and most types of R/RW media. Your home theater will feel like a god! Just not one of the big important hd-gods like Zeus or Poseidon. One of the middle-of-the-road god cousins like Pan or Pegasus. But, still, that’s pretty good compared to regular people!
