Including possibly a newer OPPO player. You will kick yourself for not waiting. BTW, there is no newer playstation console on the horizon, which makes that a better long term entertainment investment.

All the current Oppo players support WiFi and come with a external USB wifi adaptor and cable to place it accordingly for best reception.
Older models
BDP-103 came out 10-03-2012 still available
BDP-105 came out 11-16-2012 (discontinued)
Current models
BDP-103D came out 10-01-2013
BDP-105D came out 1-13-2014
So please tell me again how these players are 3 years old, as you need to get the facts correct IMHO.
First 4K native players need to have loaders that support 66/100 GB UHD media. Also need HEVC decoders SOC thats shipping in quantity. Then you need native 4Kx2K video processing that outputs using HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2 interfaces. I serious doubt the Christmas 2015 we will see anything but something rushed along mediocre access/loading times players, wait until you get some impressions/reviews before buying a 4K native player.
Currently its looking like late 2016 to early 2017 for next Oppo players.
Both the current 103D/105D provide 4Kx2K that offers 4K/60 Hz using a 4:2:0 YCbCr color space. Which can be useful for current BD content on a UDTV if the display doesn't provide comparable functionality.
