I’ll go for #6:
- What’s an Oppo?
But in any case, I don’t use physical media players much these days anyways.
Yeah, these things don’t have to built like Laserdisc players or a VCR even. I lament current players tend to look really generic and ugly these days. If you took the names off, could you tell who made it?
You can if the player is a game console. 😉
But anyway, that HDDVD player is enormous. So footprint. Very waste.
Dude, it’s from over ten years ago. My first generation Blu Ray player had the same footprint as my Laserdisc player does. In fact, it had the same dimensions as a Sony LD player I once owned. (Early 1st gen DVD players were also huge and had cooling fans.) My other two HD-DVD players have sleeker profiles but they are second generation or so. And some of us like stacking components, so a certain width is preferred. If players get any smaller a puff of wind will knock them off a shelf. 😉
