price of Oppo players threw the roof

That is a little different than was previously thought.
We shall see.....

I received an email from Oppo on Friday, June 22 offering a link to purchase a UDP-205. I purchased the unit and received an email confirmation. Today, June 25, I received a shipping confirmation which says the delivery is expected for Saturday, June 30.

Good for you chili!
But you are first I have heard of so far.
Can't remember exactly when I added my name to list but was shortly after present stock was sold out I think.
I have not had anything from oppo at all yet.

After reading of this new and final shipment, I emailed OPPO an hour ago about any chance of some 203 players as well and was told that there's only going to be 205 units coming. Oh well.

Though the 205 is twice the cost, what would you buy that is comparable to a 203/205 in video? You may want to consider the 205.
