I'm actually glad that they're doing that. This may help them cut costs, or put their effort where it really matters (a great video/audio component). I'm not too fond of having 3 different AV devices featuring the same Netflix/Online services. I'm ready to put away the Apple TV as my xfinity box started featuring Netflix. Needless to say not having "bloatware" installed sounds like music to my ears.
The new OPPO Digital UDP-203 question
Hi. Not sure if anyone already answered this but I read a Nov (inside) review of this new model to be launched in Dec/Jan and it was mentioned that it's not going to include on-line streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube. Can anyone absolutely confirm this? That would be a deal killer for me. What about the coming UDP-205? Will that be launched with these streaming apps?
