Oppo Ceasing production


Just visited Oppo's web site.  They are ceasing production of all their products and will only do warranty work and firmware support for their products.  They no longer have the resources to manufacture new products.  Didn't see this one coming.

I saw this too.  Very strange indeed.  I bought a 205 a couple of months ago and am glad I got one when I did.  I can't say I saw this coming. 
Do you worry about product support and updates? They are promising to provide ongoing support, but what incentive do they have?
I am not really worried about support and updates at this point.  What worries me is that a company like Oppo, with a superb value proposition, can't stay in the game.  I get the whole physical media being dead argument.  But why not jump the shark?  They are saying they are going to cease production of products, not just physical media.  This is just weird. 
I did not see this coming at all.....this is indeed a very sad news. I guess they couldn’t keep the operation profitable. 
Perhaps their financial backers pulled the plug on the operation.  I am quite sad because I was planning on buying a 205 later this year. to replace my Sony BD player which is at least 12 years old.
