The person that is buying this probably already has a BluRay player, and an HD-DVD player, and a nice display, and just wants the absolute best image they can get for their (presumably quite large) DVD collection.
The Oppo has a good reputation but I doubt most people would notice any difference between its output and a PS3. You may as well get a PS3 and benefit from all the other things it does. Even if you are only into SD content, the PS3 makes a superb multimedia jukebox, but of course can be used for HD content too.

Who in their right mind would buy this over a blu-ray player?

Or over one of Toshiba's HDDVD players even? (assuming you're just looking for the best DVD player)
It's pretty much the same feature set, but the Toshiba players cost about 1/4 as much.

I wouldn't even buy Oppo's BD player. More than likely, it'll cost $599.
