All Quiet on the Oppo front?

Many Oppo fans were talking about getting their pre-ordered UDP-205's a month ago, but no new posts as to current status. I haven't heard a word. I kinda thought there would be a July release, but apparently not.

Anybody receive any news from Oppo in the past month?

What sort of profit you think OPPO making on a 205?
$200 or so, sound reasonable?

So $200 x 5000 units equals a cool million dollars of profit they are throwing away.
Not sure how any company can afford to do that in today's hard fought sales age.

If that is true then I am not sure how, if I ran OPPO, I would begin to explain to the shareholders how I knowingly threw away $2 million profit.

Makes me think has to be more to it, say a certain part of parts not available to be able to build more

The margins are much, much higher. Each player, from soup to nuts, can’t be much more than $400 cost to manufacture. That means Oppo is making a profit of $700-$900, depending on tariffs and import and consumer shipping costs.

That is a whole pile of cash OPPO are ignoring.
I don't care how large a global company they are, how do you justify turning down so much easy money?
