Oppo was still honoring and fulfilling 'last call' bookings this late ? Wait, I'm missing something. You must have taken delivery of a 205 in 2018 Joe, right ?
June 29, 2018 was the ship date to me. I put my name on the list for the last order. Later on, OPPO sent an email asking if I was still interested and if yes, log on and make payment which I did. All of that occurred sometime prior to that ship date.
Are there any other combo players that come close to the Oppo? I saw one Samsung for $50 and one with a TV on Craigslist. I don't know if they play CDs though.
