KK, you offer for 5 units. Is it from Singapore or Malaysia. What is the price? Am interested in getting one.

Update: Sorry. Scrap my question. Did not refresh thread so did not see your answer.

KK, how are you planning the collection of the 5 units. What is the final price in RM?

Hi Kianwee,
Which shop in LowYatt did you buy it from? Do you have the name of the person you deal with? Hope to ride on your price when I buy one this week...)
Tks.

Starting the bulk buy list below: Current target is RM$610 or less

mypalm - 1 unit

mys_terious - 2 units
khchong81 -


Can all of you confirm purchase with a deposit say 50% i.e. $300. Have not done bulk buy before so am just shooting off a number here. I am planning to get my unit this Saturday if possible.


Hi KianWee,
Appreciate it if you can let me know which shop you got your units from and the person to talk to. This would help with negotiation since you done most of the bargaining already. Thanks.

Kianwee, Thank you for the info. Like my son say....Wah! So Power one....just show up also get good deal

Chewkl, who is Elite? Sorry but blurr like sotong here.....

Wah Lau Eh! Selling like hot cake

feel like kiasu and go before Saturday to buy....What say the folks in the bulk list?

Any news from C-Zone when their next batch will come in?

Just checked pricelist in hardwarezone. Cheapest 1.5TB is Samsung 5400rpm 32mb for $334 at Startec. Viewnet is next at $354 and C-Zone at $360.
WesternD and Seagate are 7200rpm and cost about $100 more.

Would like to hear your views as well, Chew.

Think everyone adult here...can take it. It's their choice in the end how they want to spend their money.

All insights help us make better decision.

Zerorulez, which shop is IIRC in Digital Mall. Went looking last weekend but did not see any unit.

Kelvin, you wanna just get it in PJ Digital Mall. I prefer PJ DM to Low Yat. So far only both of us confirm. mys_terious need his shipped to Kedah. Will have to check with shop whether they will do the shipping.
Hopefully, with 2 of us, we can still get it down to at least 610.

I Thought C-zone no more stock yesterday? Like lightning said. "Today its out of stock. Tomorrow its out of date. Then the day after is stock clearance!"

Wah! didn't expect it go from out of stock to drop in price so fast.....

There are still some units a Viewnet, CZone and even in Digital Mall. At least 2-3 units each.

Bot mine at Viewnet for $970 with Samsung 1.5TB HD last Saturday. Cost without HDD is $639. CZone selling lowest $650 and Digital Mall $675-680. Ah Boy from CZone says he never sold for less that $650. With all the chatter on this thread about lower $610 and lower, don't know who is telling the truth. I personally feel it's possible (see my experience below) but guess they need to protect the market as well. Does not matter either way as most of us are not Elite enough or have any Kang Tau to get any lower. These things requires building relationship with them. Newbie tak dak such relationship.

So the lowest so far for Newbie is actually buying in Singapore (~$580) or thru the lelong site that was listed in this thread $629 or you tumpang the seniors or those with jalan.

Just to relate an interesting happenning when I bot mine from Viewnet. I manage to bargain down to $950 for POHD with 1.5TB and even pay them the cash but when the sales person tried to enter for the bill, tak boleh masuk. Saw his face getting worried. Then saw him on the phone which he later says is with the Boss and they have locked the lowest price for ACRyan to $639. That was the price I got quoted when I call them over the phone last Friday. One of the senior sales guy told him to talk to me first. As I did not want to bother making an issue out of it and just wanted to get the unit and balik, I paid the extra $20. This all seem to indicate, based on the usual price in the system where they are allowed to discount a certain percentage, getting it at around $610 is possible but they are locking their price to ensure market price is set at a certain level. Just my guess.

As I am not high end user, most of my files are not HD quality. Have a lot of avi files

- I have tried on 2 HD file (720p and 1080p) mkv file. Love it on the 50inch plasma. But they are cartoons so usually look good. Will try on a movie once I get it.
- Also tried DVD iso. Quite good as well.
- avi file are also acceptable like cheap pasar malam DVD

All the above are about picture quality. I have not tried sound quality as I did not attach to my old amp. I am currently using hdmi to my plasma tv. In process of transfering file from NAS to POHD thru USB. Very slow process.

Actually transferring using a PC connected to NAS thru Gigabit line and to POHD using USB i.e. using PC as the midpoint so transfer speed still limited by ethernet.

My current setup is HDMI to TV and optical cable to my old Amp. Think for DTS output (5.1) you will need either HDMI, Coaxial or Optical. Bought a cheap optical cable from Jalan Pasar for $27. Then setup the audio output to SPDIF Raw.

Pls help PM me the link as well. Thank you

Have anyone try this setup or know whether it will work.

- Playon with HDisk connected to network and NAS.
- WD Live also connected to network either thru WiFi or Homeplug or lan cable to access the Playon HD as well as NAS i.e. can WDLive connect to the HD inside Playon thru network. I know it should connect to the NAS.
- would another Playon be able to do the same thing? Which makes more sense or $$?

I have most of my movie in the Playon in the hall and NAS in the computer room. Would like to view those file in another room.
