remember that tax is on cif price inc. Freight cost. So Heavy airfreight or courier items may still kena tax even if below 500 for ex work retail pricing.
Yes of course. I think we all know that already. Bluray Players ~ V2, Profile 1.1 ~ 2.0 ~ BD-Live ~ Mutimedia

QUOTE(moomoos @ Aug 23 2009, 08:20 AM) bro aiman04 so lucky, maybe he's the 1st person that got it tax free, and 1st person to play BD Not the first person to get it tax free, I bought the BD35 November last year. I used DHL at that time. No tax, no hassle whatsoever. I still remember, arrived in Subang airport around 8.00am, and in my hands around 9.30am. My first BD player was the PS3, which I still own.that time ketam also dont know whta BD is And certainly not the first to play BD lah. My first BD was Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in July 2007, around the same time I register with LYN. At that time, rx330 was still one of the BD sifus, with others like ar188 himself, PrinceOfPersia, edvpc, corez, mpyw, megatron007and many others. Also not forgetting the legendary Sunauto as well.

QUOTE(arremie @ Aug 26 2009, 04:13 PM) I have to admit I did buy a few real dual-layered DVDs many years ago, long before BD. Those were exact copy of the original, so at least I got the same quality of the original (except maybe disc quality itself). When I bring home I check the disc size in my laptop, if it's lower than 4.3GB then I return it back. These pirated BD are not even close to original in quality, much worse, being compressed into BD25, and not that cheap to begin with. Heck, I don't even dare to buy those local released original BDs, even with the B2G1 offer. No more pirated discs for me. |

QUOTE(chewkl @ Aug 26 2009, 05:00 PM) And don't forget it will load those BDs faster than any standalone BD player. Good for impatient people like me. That's true. PQ is excellent as well, those who say their standalone BD player looked better (including myself And with bitstream there's no comparison anymore, because whatever player you have it's the AV receiver that will be doing the job, not the player. |

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Aug 26 2009, 05:38 PM) Some potential bad news. Some indications of someone who has made comparisons in the US indicate that it is somewhat slower than the old PS3. Pretty much slower. It is pretty much in the BD60 range...PM me if u need the link. I don't have permission to link the test results and load times. Really? That is bad news. Shame, thought it will make a comeback as one of the best BD players.Added on August 26, 2009, 9:23 pm QUOTE(Ngto @ Aug 26 2009, 09:13 PM) It's not the decoding. It's the post processing effects by the AVR AFTER decoding. After decoding by the AVR you'll get the same PCM that the PS3 sends out. If this post processing effects really exists, it should also apply to the PCM from PS3.Even the PS3 can increase the volume before sending to the AVR if I am not mistaken. I still believe it's the decoding process that gives the difference. PS3 uses software method while the AVR has a dedicated chip, hardware method. Plus the elimination of jitter effects by doing bitstream. This post has been edited by aiman04: Aug 26 2009, 09:23 PM |

Just curious, if there is exact copy of the original BD on BD25 for RM14 and BD50 for RM40 respectively to start up with, depend on the original BD without being compressed , will you go for it? And the price will be dropping further in the near future for sure as the original BD will be dropping as well... I don't think there will be exact copies, even DVDs now no exact copies anymore. But even if there is, I still won't buy, I just don't buy pirate stuffs since I started working. That story was when I was still a student.

RM1250 for the new Slim PS3 is very good price. Seriously I'll say this again, for those who haven't own any BDP or PS3 this is the best solution. By the way, this new Slim PS3 can be plugged to any power outlet in the world, the PSU supports 100-240V at 50-60Hz. The only factor to consider now is the BD region coding, no more worries about getting a step-up/down transformers.
About the pirated BDs, they're all BD25. So unless the size of the original movie was equal or smaller than that, they have re-encoded the movie to lower bitrate even even though still 1080p (just like the MKV rips). Details will be lost, two pixels side by side, blue and green may just appear both blue. Die Hard 4 was 38GB, and the upcoming Gladiator records a whopping 45GB for the video & audio only. Poadster, the LPCM is still lossless, you're basically hearing the same thing. The only difference is that it is being decoded by your PS3, not the AVR (there are some difference but that's just more to the decoding part, but the details should be the same, never lost). Can refer to the second post of the BD thread for the flow chart. |

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Aug 28 2009, 08:36 AM) One update on the new PS3 slim, it actually has the ability to upscale all sources to 1080p. The older PS3 will not upscale anything on BD (480i, 1080i). This is something for some to consider if it important to u. I thought they already fixed that in a firmware update? But that is another good news. And considering the price, the report about it being slower loading than the old PS3 is not a big factor. Many standalone players at this price range aren't that fast either. |

QUOTE(daijoubu @ Sep 10 2009, 12:43 AM) Yup ur right i just checked Why selling it bro? I like the shiny design of the 360. Wonder if it's still slower than BD60 to load discs.I already put my player up for sale. In my sig. Price nego'able, if anyone interested feel free to pm me. Anyway, Sony just announced a new networked player, BDP-N460. QUOTE Sony Announces Blu-ray Player with Netflix and YouTube Support Posted September 10, 2009 03:56 AM by Juan Calonge Sony Sony has announced its "networked" Blu-ray player, number BDP-N460. This BD-Live model streams video from the Bravia Internet Video platform instantly, including content from YouTube, Slacker, and Netflix (support for Netflix access will be added later this fall). It will be available in October for about $250. According to Video Business, Sony, which had been the top seller of Blu-ray stand-alone players last year, lost the lead to Samsung in 2009. This is partly attributed to the Korean electronics manufacturer's decision to support Netflix streaming on most of its models. Unlike the BDP-560, the BDP-N460 will not have built-in WiFi, although it includes software specially designed for use with the Linksys by Cisco Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band (WET610N, sold separately). The bridge helps ease the connection between the Ethernet-enabled player and a wireless router in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio band for "optimal streaming." The model also features a cross search function to make finding Internet content on the BRAVIA Internet Video platform easier. On the video performance side, The BDP-N460 outputs 1080p60 and 1080p24 and upscales DVD. It supports Deep Color video output and x.v.Color (xvYCC) technology. Regarding audio, it decodes advanced audio codecs, including 7.1 channel Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, and DTS-HD Master Audio. The model is compatible with an array of video formats, including BD-R/RE (BDMV and BDAV modes), AVCHD, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, CD, CD-R/RW (CD-DA format), and JPEG on BD/DVD/CD recordable media. http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3392 |
