I never owned an Oppo player before and right now I have the Samsung UHD player and the XBox One S. So, I'm not in a huge rush to get this but I would still like to get the 203. Do Oppo's ever go on sale like on Black Friday for example? I'm trying to decide on buying this or a new center channel speaker.

they do not go on sale from oppo. i think you might be able to see some deals via 3rd party sales but that is not common at all either to my knowledge

Thanks. I'm going to hold off for now, see what else gets released or wait maybe for a price drop on the Panasonic.

Another positive review, via Techradar

Final verdict
If you’ve been holding out for a UHD Blu-ray player that features cutting-edge technology, is future-proof with Dolby Vision support, and can play pretty much any disc or file that you throw at it, then the Oppo UDP-203 is worthy of your attention.

4K visuals and lossless audio tracks are reproduced fantastically, and the solid build quality and attention to detail helps the Oppo UDP-203 feel like a truly high-end piece of kit – which it is, thanks to that high price tag.

If you’re not that interested in SACDs or some of the more esoteric features of the Oppo UDP-203, then you’re probably better off looking at a cheaper UHD Blu-ray player.

But for those who want the ultimate home theatre setup, with money no object, the Oppo UDP-203 is easily one of the best Blu-ray players money can buy.

Congratulations on getting your first OPPO. There's no going back

Samsung UBD-K8500: 4.19 lbs
Panasonic DMP-UB900: 5.29 lbs
OPPO UDP-203: 9.5 lbs

The components and build quality really are on a different level compared to most of the usual consumer brands.

I'm a very satisfied OPPO BDP-93 owner and won't be upgrading to a 4K player anytime soon. But if that happens, it'll be an OPPO, no question about it.

I've been wanting to buy the OPPO 203 and I got a good price for it so I finally pulled the trigger. I've heard great things about OPPO so I can't wait to get the 203 in and give it a try. It actually shipped already so if I'm lucky, I will have it early next week!

Now I have to decide which tv gets the OPPO

Thought I would add a picky of my Oppo sitting on top my Sunfire Theater Grand Power Amp. And the remote for reference. Just can't top the build quality of the Oppo. The best 4k player currently on the market by a mile..IMO :naughty:
