I just want to mention another alternative...and it's an Oppo….it's the 103 and it's used...BUT....the circumstances are a little different....it falls under the blanket of the now wildly popular..."warehouse" special category....here is the listing…now concentrating on the one listed as "good"....think about this...you are buying from amazon...not a private buyer...so you do get some guarantees....like a 30 day return policy....if some of you are looking for an "extra" Oppo...or you are on a budget and aren't afraid to take a risk..this might be the ticket....and the 103 can help you rip SACDs...which has value...right now there are 10 of these available in the "good" category...another thing worth mentioning...if you order this and don't have prime you can get a free trial of prime for one week for only $1.99...so you can upgrade to faster shipping for a modest cost.....now if I were interested in this purchase I would contact amazon and ask some questions...get more information to see if these were merely old stock that might have been returned and were sitting in a warehouse or what was the origin of the players for sale...you could always ask if getting a warranty was possible...if that's important to you...anyway I thought I would mention it...as much as I try to get away from this thread...I keep returning
Ok I'm back again...this post I made in July is still relevant and IMO the best option out there for an Oppo….a new batch of warehouse specials has emerged...you can use that link in my old post and there is an option to buy a 103 in very good condition...FROM AMAZON....since I have both the 103(D)and the 203 I'm familiar with both machines...both are excellent and both have strong points...the 103 offers SACD ripping capability and the 203 offers better video capability...and for the current price point...this warehouse(very good condition)103 is a good deal.....here is the link again at $498....remember you have a 30 day return policy if you aren't happy with it..
Yep. Got e mail yesterday and ordered. Supposed to be delivered by Sept. 5th.I read that OPPO began sending out emails yesterday. Sounds like most of the "special links" to buy are going to those who registered around early May. I assume this is the late August run of units and will be followed by the last batch sometime next month.

Im on the wait list for an Oppo 205 also. I confirmed my email address on May 9.
For what its worth I contacted Oppo about my chances to get one. They replied I have a decent chance... it just depends on how many people ahead of me pass up the opportunity to get one. So this means there are definitely more people asking for these than the amount they plan to manufacture and sell.
Will some accountant run numbers and calculate their earnings if they make enough for everyone who is asking? I don't know.
Will most people who get invites to buy not pass up because they can make an easy profit reselling on eBay for what double the price? Some will.
I will be down to the wire waiting on the last shipment before I know if Ill get one...
Well, good to see an "option" for a universal player......but eh......
You know what? My wife and I were "dying" to hear some of that "northern" accent....seems we heard the most in central Wisconsin. lol......So you've spent half an hour in Canada and you already sound like us...
I have trust issues with Pioneer these days....but for those that don't...the new blu ray player HERE
