Step 5. Bump

I am sorry i seem to have been a bit misinformed i was surer i was right ,but the older 1.0,and 1.1 should still play futur discs it will just lack the full use of special features,i just read this article on cnet. (The easiest way to avoid all these headaches is to buy a Profile 2.0 player, which is currently the most future-proof option there is. In particular, we recommend the PS3--not only is it the best Blu-ray player according to our reviews, but it also has traditionally been updated with new features before other Blu-ray players. Additionally, because the PS3 has such a fast processor inside, we've found that special features just work better, with faster load times and smoother playback. If you're the kind of person that never fiddles with special features and you've found a great deal on a Profile 1.1 player, there's no reason not to buy it as long as you know what you're giving up. Profile 1.1 players should have no problems playing back future Blu-ray movies, you're just won't be able to get additional content online. Profile 1.0 players are increasingly rare these days, so unless you find a fantastic deal, you can probably find a Profile 1.1 player for a similar price.) for some morer info check out cnet for yourself ,again sorry for the bad info,will not happen again!

I've never had any problems with any of my Current DVD Players, playing any DVD's (Newer or Older). We have 2 x Sony 5 Disc 5.1 Surround Sound Systems (All-in-One) and a Philips DVD Player, all are older units, nothing New. None of these players are capable of playing the Blu-Ray Discs! Many, Many years back, we had a GE DVD Player (our first DVD Player). We ran across one DVD, that no matter what we did, it wouldn't play Disney's "The Kid" with Bruce Willis. This was a Brand New DVD Player and the DVD had just been released. We retuned the DVD 4 x before finally giving up on it. I even went as far as taking the GE DVD Player to Wal-Mart, so they could see that the DVD wouldn't Play. It played on the (their) Same Model GE DVD Player on the store shelf, but wouldn't play on mine. This DVD Player was a Gift and wasn't purchased at Wal-Mart, so I couldn't return it to Wal-Mart. Never did try returning it, it played every other DVD just fine! We do however have an LG Blu-Ray Player that we just started using this past summer. Hooked it to my New Sony 5.2 Surround Sound Stereo Receiver. We also have 2 Sony PlayStation 3 Gaming Consoles (1 x Fat and 1 x Slim) that have Blu-Ray Players Built-In. BTW, Blu-Ray is Backwards Compatible and will play all your DVD's.

Yes streaming apps is not their focus. On the 203 they included a 4k HDMI input so you can stream your Roku/Apple TV, Firestick etc through the player and not lose an HDMI input on your TV. The used to have the 103 and 105 priced similarly when they came out with these blu-ray players. If you assume a 2017 version of a similar feature upgrade from the 203 to the 205, then they are probably something like this: https://www.oppodigital.com/KnowledgeBase.aspx?KBID=37&ProdID=BDP-93 In the 103 /105 case, the higher end version was based mostly on improving the audio listening experience.
