Many shops are taking pre-order at RM1250 for the SG set, local MY set not announced yet, but shld be prices similarly.

Go to the garage sales section under games.

Added on August 27, 2009, 11:59 pmAm curious, how is the PQ? Real 1080p from ori BD, or simply DVD Dual Layer rips?

Added on August 28, 2009, 12:16 amYou are right, thats the limitation of the HDMI chip in the thick PS3. No firmware is able to upgrade it to bitstream any HD Audio codecs.

But i am ok with it LPCM to my AVR, only not seeing the TrueHD or DTSMA button light up. To me the LPCM still sounds nicer than regular flavored DD5.1 or DTS.

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.

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? Sorry, didn't watch BD on my PS3 for quite some time already, never bothered to check.

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.

PS3 Slim est @ RM1250 including "Mod Chip" ??

PS3 cannot mod lah bro...

mod chip is only for ps2 bro.... no such thing 'yet' for ps3.

Mod chip? For what bro?

I don't believe they have mod chip for playing non legal games on the PS3. I also don't think there are pirated games as yet...

eh.. got pirated BDs meh?
I thought those were just DVD9...

got....but very few places sell..... and its hard to tell if u dunno how to check la

maybe he mod chip to play fake PS2 games mah..

Added on August 28, 2009, 9:58 amshouldn't be that hard to see... BD25s looks very different from DVDR or unker HO dvd9s..

for RM48 on pirated BD25 is a rip off...

Oh, never had a PS2. But my PS3 is backward compatible with PS2 games, but original only lah of course.

Exactly. Add a few bucks you can already get an original BD50.

oh.. I thought there wouldn't be any pirated BDs but then I remembered some fella did crack BD tech sometime back...

I take it that BD25 would look more or less like normal BDs compared to DVDs (the silver thingy on BD seems to go right to the end of the middle hole compared to normal DVDs, right?)
