All Quiet on the Oppo front?

@stereo5 
Doesn't this all remind you a little of the T-Ref's a year ago?

I wrote SG a letter and got a pair. 

Yup, it sure does.  I don’t mind waiting until the end of this month.  If nothing by then, I will buy the top of the line Sony.  I have a 12 year old Sony player I paid $500 for from Best Buy.  It takes forever to load a Blu Ray disk, been like it from day one.  I have done all the firmware updates but it is really outdated.   I thought the Oppo would be a good follow up. 

Recommendation: To receive the invitation email from Oppo to purchase a unit and mitigate the risk of the invitation going to Spam please add the following email to your contacts/address book of your email provider, example Yahoo, Hotmail etc...

Email OPPO and had a reply within 30 minutes, although not really what I wanted to read but at least it was honest, see below.

Kevin,

We've received one shipment a little over a week ago and we're expecting our last shipment to arrive in the coming week. I've looked up your email address and there's over five thousand people ahead in the queue.  If that information is accurate, the player is not likely going to be available to you as there are so many ahead and we are not able to manufacture enough units for everyone in the queue.

Best Regards,

Now I have no idea how many units per shipment but not in the order of thousands so there are definitely going to be a few disapointed people out there

I joined and confirmed the udp-205 list June 24 and got the invitation to buy 2 days ago. It's on its way for a 9/11 delivery. So there is hope...
