Will it be a REGION FREE Player...........Well, Kap, you're NOT going to believe this......all my life [well, not ALL of it] I 'lusted' after a REGION FREE Player. So I plucked my hard earned money down and bought a REGION FREE OPPO UHD 205 from the Bombay Company in New Jersey. Problem is, it plays Region FREE BD~Vs flawlessly as well as RBCDs and DVD~As but IT WON'T PLAY SACD. OPPO Digital will NOT repair it as they won't touch players with Region Free Chips installed so unless I [who's NOT mechanical] can take the damn thing apart and remove the chip and send it to Oppo for repairs.......well, you know the rest. I will have to pack it up and send it back to the Bombay Company in Jersey where I 'supposedly' have a 2 year warranty but for some reason, I feel somewhat skittish about that.
So watch what you wish for. I need to do something or risk having this beautiful player which cannot play the over 1500+ SACDs I have in my collection. I should probably do it SOON and just insert my SONY UHD X800 player [which is NOT region free] back into the system and just ship the OPPO back. Of course, in anticipation of the region free OPPO, I went Region B crazy and ordered a literal TON of 3D/2D steelbook editions from Zavvi in the UK.
