QUOTE(mpyw @ Jul 1 2009, 09:15 AM) last night 1st time watch BoB part2 using Dune + Marantz + Axiom + Orb The result.....REALISTIC!!!! the part where the airplane heading to the drop zone....can fell the sound of the airplane enveloping by moving air....I feel like I'm in the plane myself....a lil vibration here & there.....can really feel it... the combat scene....the bullet hitting the ground & bounce off metal are awesome...."buoooop...tob" in the ground & cling klang off the metal.... Nice......  Glad your HT experience is better! That's what it's all about isn't it and also makes it feel worthwhile to have invested so much in this hobby of ours.

QUOTE(fadthil @ Jul 7 2009, 10:37 AM) Then it's time to get this... OPPO BDP-83; REGION FREE BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER  Actually even for Oppo it is not region free from the factory. However you can do a hardware hack to make it region free. Some shops like SLT will do the hack for u (extra charge of course) and you can buy the hacked Oppo from them. If you buy direct from Oppo it is not hacked. Even for other BD players there are third parties out there who can do or sell the hardware hack.

QUOTE(fadthil @ Jul 7 2009, 02:28 PM) Dats right, but then again you wouldn't want to buy direct from Oppo ie., it'll be from US... then there's other issue like 'stepping down' power and etc. to consider. I think the Oppo BDP is worldwide voltage compatible. QUOTE But when BD titles like HellBoy 2; where the 2nd disc is a DVD, I can't play 'em on my PS3... have to switch to my "non-upscaler" DVDp, which is a letdown....  One way around this is to get an upscaling AVR then whatever source you plug in (DVD, Astro) can be upscaled.

QUOTE(fadthil @ Jul 7 2009, 03:15 PM) Oh izit? Even if my DVDp connected without HDMI? Yeah, even without HDMI the AVR can upscale but maybe not up to 1080p. There will be some limitation like only up to 1080i or 720p. Read the manual and see.

QUOTE(arremie @ Jul 10 2009, 02:53 PM) need to use 3D glasses ke. not dizzy later meh?  Yup needs 3D glasses. Dizziness depends on the movie and the scene. The attraction of 3D is how objects pop right in front of your face.

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Jul 21 2009, 01:57 PM) Checked Valykrie out for a test. Great AQ expecially the plane attack on Tom Cruise, very good surrounds and LFE. PQ was also impressive. Remember that it is reflecting an era and it will not be razor sharp. Heard that some of the explosion scenes in Valkyrie are tremendous!

QUOTE(megatron007 @ Jul 21 2009, 11:13 PM) but mostly are they going to be truHD or DTS HD MA? Theoretically both should be the same right since both are lossless? Like zip vs rar, once uncompressed the content is the same.

QUOTE(hackwire @ Jul 26 2009, 09:28 PM) is it illegal to run a Rental business for Blu ray online? I saw quite a couple of people doing this business in low yat? Are they against the copyright law? Strictly speaking, rental of films without the authorisation of the copyright owner is a copyright infringement. See section 13(1)(f) of the Copyright Act 1987. This wasn't always the case, but it was introduced by an amendment that came into force in 1999. Of course like many other things in Malaysia, enforcement is a totally different issue.
