Well, sort of...

>>>They managed to get around the rules because they weren't a major electronics manufacturer. Their popularity has put them on the map and unless they want to be wiped off of it, they'll play by the rules.<<<
That is irrelevant. If they were breaking the law, they would have been shut down. Note-they will not upscale over component as per the DVD consortium.

>>>Oppo is still a winner to sane people.<<<
I guess that rules out the folks at that circle jerk called Blu-ray.com.
Calling EE an "ever-so-slight glow effect" isn't what most people would call sane.

>>>I'm saying it's stupid to buy a Region X DVD and expect to be able to play it in Region Y<<<
That's why oppo was formed.
In the end, they will gain some customers from going BD, but they will lose some too, due to lack of multi-region. Actually, its price may turnj off quite a few old customers.

>>>The format I adopted won<<<
How is SACD doing these days?
