Re: International Blu-ray deals
I'm waiting for an MOC sale. I really want the Pabst "2 fer"; & even at the current price it's cheaper than buying the 2 Criterions separately.

While my Oppo will play all regions (with a hardware hack), now that Oppo is going under & I can't afford a 205 at the moment (& likely won't be able to afford a 205 in August either), I need to start being conscious of that issue, as my 6 year old 95 won't last forever.

Re: International Blu-ray deals
Arrow doesn't quite cater to my niche and just about everything I might want to buy (the Woody Allen and Marx Brothers sets are tempting, but not high on my list) is long past the "limited booklet" stage, which means buying used assuming I buy at all.
Thanks for the heads-up about Oppo. It's a great shame, but a sign of the times...

True, with the region free issue. My understanding is there's nothing out there that can be made region free with a comparable picture quality? Especially on upsampling dvd's? I also use the Oppo as a hi-res audio player. I don't know of any video player that does audio anywhere near as well (though their certainly is gear I'm not aware of).

Re: International Blu-ray deals
Cambridge basically offers a rebadged Oppo 203/205 more focused on audio. So that is always an option if you can't swing an Oppo right now.
The Oppo news came out of nowhere. I really wish they had stuck it out one more year but waning physical media sales looks to have forced their parent company's hand.

Do you happen to know what the model # is on the Cambridge 205 equivalent?

Prices on the secondary market are already jacked up.
I'm not well versed on the Cambridge unit other than it shares some of the Oppo components with a few different internals.

Re: International Blu-ray deals
Waning physical media sales is a rather piss-poor excuse coming from Oppo.
Also, the jury is certainly not out when it comes to physical media...especially audio media.

I believe Oppo saw the writing on the wall for UHD's potential - it's likely never going to be a mainstream consumer format reaching BD's market penetration. It will be larger than laserdisc but companies don't get excited by a format with limited potential. The swift decline in brick&mortar retail support for physical media has put a severe crimp in any future path.

Worth noting (possibly) that this title was that price back in December before dropping to £7.00 near the end of the month and staying there well into January. Can't say there's a pattern to these things, obviously, but it might be worth holding a copy in your cart to see if it drops again.

Re: International Blu-ray deals
Zavvi kept changing the currency to $ instead of £ . I had to manually change it to say I was shipping to the UK for it to stay in £ even though the shipping address is in US. I assume based on Amazon that I would do better having the bank convert the price instead of the retailer thou I didn't check rates which may vary by the time the order ships.
