The OPPO rep at CEDIA seemed to indicate that the Darbee product would be integral to the 205 along with DAC and video processor upgrades to lure the "philes". The upgraded version will likely be 2-3 times the standard version. The current price point is $499 but could change in the next few months. They expect it to be available before spring. I have my card ready for one right now. When they first came out with the 105 it was priced right at twice the cost of the 103. Since Darbee is now part of the upgraded decks I would expect the new unit to be priced at a similar level with what now exists. That assumes they haven't included some other goodies.

Several other companies are bringing out their players and are hundreds cheaper but they don't have OPPOs commitment to customer service. Last year I had to send my 103 in because the disc tray would not open. They paid to have it shipped both ways and fixed it for free. They also checked it throughout for any other issues and made sure the latest version of firmware was installed. I got it back and it looked like they sent my a brand new unit completely repackaged and all in about a week.
