I think mine is a Sony? I don't know that I've actually ever played an DVD on it, I used to use it as a Netflix box before I got a Roku (and now a RokuTV)?

it's too bad oppo stopped making disc spinners, they were the best at being simple reliable players

I still watch a lot of blu rays and dvds although I got a 4k player and the only 4k discs I own are the ones that came with the player

It seems like RokuTV is the least bad of the TVs these days, they're all horrible and data-thiefy but at least the Roku's interface (mostly) works?

It always pisses me off when a writer resorts to the lazy-rear end "As you know, General..." exposition dump.

agreed. a few weeks i almost accidentally snapped the tray off when i was changing discs and got real nervous but thank god its ok. good build quality, remote has a nice heft to it, and the menus are easy.

but the best part about the player is i never connected it to the internet

oppos were all region players, my hk movies are r3 and my newer sony is region 1 for dvds [like seriously who still cares about dvds?]

it was hilarious that hk got its own region during the dvd days

the nine region dvd anti piracy scheme was laughably overwrought. the three-region bluray scheme is still silly but less of a pain in the rear end.

video piracy still easier a lot of the time though. apple largely took the sting out of audio piracy by making it easier to buy than steal; somehow this lesson has been forgotten.
