Oppo has a good history of adding features via firmware and just generally being very good on the firmware front, but it’s really unclear to me how long this will continue. I’m not very comfortable buying a product based on what it might someday be able to do, rather than what it can do right now. Then again, this is the last stop on the Oppo line. You’re either getting on here or you’re not getting on.

EDIT: I guess I should add I now have the 203 with the bluraychip.dk hardware region mod and it’s been great.
