Added on November 4, 2009, 1:28 pmWell SEC also selling Sony S360 for RM599/= I jump when I 1st heard the price and alert forumer and friends. They all dont believe also. Dont blame them.. ha ha , until i show them my receipt.

So, what are you waiting for...

I choose sony at first, then notice Panny has the other network access and USB front for other files like DVix. So I couls test these 2 item. I though the viera cast like you tube is a gimmick. But after viewing it yesterday, this addtional feature add as another entertainment.

I just hope one day, we also have Amazon Movie on Demand.

I was told is new for both Sony and Panny. I dont think they want to lie for that but heck, we will never know. Not unly this shop, all the shop.
The Panny I collected were sealed in the box. The box need to be open on the spot for taking of serial number and check parts for defective.

I asked again if they have stock. The shop said yes, still a lot. Who said no more? ha ha ha ha

If really show room unit, can they actually have lets say.. 100 unit or 1000 unit display unit? But i never ask how many they got anyway.

I can't access the network also for the 1st time until I updated the firmware. Which shows that this particular unit have not been configured. All setting in the setup are default. No sign of scratches or even the rubber bumper leg at 4 corner has no sign of dust or mark. It is clean and protected in the box when I took it out.

So, I guess that really show it new. But most important thing is, it is working perfectly well. if not, I have 6 years warranty. At 1st I budget to get from KL where cheapest is Rm850. but now, with my 6 years warranty, I still have buffer to get 1-2 Bluray disc.

Perhaps for those who got it from SEC, can share your experience here so the rest can get more confidence and help to push other competitor to lowered their price further. is good for us as consumer.

I just went to SEC Queensbay, the guy said no more rm599 BD60. I just left my phone to him, in case still got offer.
But S360 got, I'm not interested.

I just called their Bayan Baru outlet. the sales guy said BD60 is out of stock and they only sell at that price if you buy Plasma TV from them. Purchase-with-purchase offer and not sold separately.

Seems to be conflicting story. Has any one of you bought one outright?

good offer can't last yah...

Added on November 4, 2009, 2:05 pmtry other branch, call them. use the www.sec.com.my

Added on November 4, 2009, 3:06 pmI bought it at RM599. NOT purchase with purchase.

try call other branch.

Many of those great offer Bluray were due to not all customer are buying purchase with purchase. So the left over player were sold cheap to other customers. This could be what happen. If so, I'm one of the lucky one.

I never said I always do that

Added on November 4, 2009, 6:36 pmAt that time S350 at one particular center was display units and even then price was RM999. Now price different already if you can still find this phased out model. Last week I saw S350 sold at Sony Sunway Pyramid for RM799/- , new set they said. Now someone mentioned a few posts back price dropped to RM599/- already.

The newer S360 is selling at Best electronics for RM999/-, no way can match the SEC Penang offer at RM599/-.

I'm another lucky one to get BD60 for RM599, brand new no PWP whatsoever. Add RM72 to get another 5 yrs additional warranty

Maybe they try to gain publicity by selling cheap cheap but just for few ...

I got it from Bukit Jambul brach, try to call them. Good luck to you.

I check my Panny 60 serial number again and notice the date of mfg is May 2009. Well, thats not too far. About 5 months from mfg date. Made in China.

does sec got lg bd 370? also how much was philips bdp3000 there as it was before rm 580?

dont know about LG, but the philips bdp3000 is RM599 at SenQ. ( Dont mixed up, SenQ is not the same as SEC)

why go for philips? it cant decode DTS MA but you can still bitstream this format. It was my list earlier, but I have to take it out due to this limitation. Anyway, I bitstream all audio format to my AVR anyway even with this Panny. ha ha ha ha

I just received confirmation that the PS3 slim does not deinterlace 1080i content from a BD.

1080i deinterlacing is something that most displays themselves don't get right and u tend to see artifacts during concerts especially. It is is not a dealbreaker but pls keep that in mind,.

Is this something that can be solved by firmware update?

it doesn't matter coz most BDs are 1080p anyways rite

I am not sure. I also wonder if Sony does it intentionally

Added on November 5, 2009, 2:17 pmYes. Only concerts, some documentaries and the odd movie are 1080i.

Edit to include documentaries and the odd movie.

Any idea why concerts are 1080i?

Some editions of Planet Earth also 1080i.

You're right, most documentaries and the odd movie is in 1080i. I edited my previous post to include these.

Live events are normally shot in CCD cameras and not normally shot on film. I believe they are primarily shot for broadcast and not for theater/cinema in mind. Same as documentaries. So that's one of the reasons why 1080i is chosen since that is primary mode of broadcast for the HD around the world.

cos using video camera?

Hi

Just bought my first blu ray, Philips BDP3000 from SEC, Butterworth, Penang for RM599. They are also selling Sony S360 and Panasonic BD60 for the same price. Don't have to buy anything else to get that price.

Chose Philips coz its the only player that supports DIVX playback.
