Why so much less for the new Oppo UDP-203?

Sorry for the noob question, but why is the just-released Oppo UDP-203 half as much as the existing 105? No intent or opinion; just curiosity.

Also, if anyone is considering the UDP-205, there’s an email signup on the oppo website now to notify you when it’s available. Their system is excellent and should allow you to get in on the first batch if you’re interested.
