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.

Uncle Ho's Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. Alas, sound DTS only. Click on "extra features" on the menu, nothing happens doh.gif  FYI, those Black BDR only 25Gb ma

Am curious, how is the PQ? Real 1080p from ori BD, or simply DVD Dual Layer rips?

I thought I heard before that current PS3 Hardware is unable to do bitstream of HD Audio even with firmware ?

You 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.

To overcome the Region locking, simple. Get two slim PS3s lor..... region A and B..... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Hv nvr tried the Uncle Ho BD25s, so was very curious on the PQ/SQ. Am expecting the SQ to be just regular DTS/DD flavored with no HD options, but the PQ shld be ok (as in mkv-ish). Still not very worthy to look at..... as of now....

LPCM is sounds pretty fine to me, can hear the difference to the sound. Since my PS3 cant bitstream, i cant taste the difference (auditioning the same disc using a diff set-up dont count for comparison), nor ever see the magical words TrueHD or DTSMA, but i can live with that.....

Added on August 28, 2009, 10:30 amMod chips are used to bypass any security encryption checks on game discs, put there by game developers and Sony to curb piracy. However, there are no mod chips for PS3 la.... it was nvr successfully cracked.

Even uncle ho ps2 games cant be played on the PS3.... but i have nvr tried it personally. Only ori games and movie BDs are inserted into the precious slot.... blush.gif blush.gif

Just came back from SengQ QB. RM799 for the Philips BDP3000. It's a no frill basic BDP (no DTS-HD onboard decoder can no media playback on removable memory storage). Take your time, lots of units left. biggrin.gif
*
The unit can bitstream DTS-MA to AVR via HDMI.

There were much discussion on the location of the decoding affecting the quality of the lossless audio codec (esp the debate of the phat PS3 internal decoding), so the BDP3000 being able to bitstream all the HD audio codec to AVR is a very good news for these ppl.

Moreover, the prices is pretty good for a low end player with BD Live. Worthy a check if you are in the market for a cheap player, but if you need to satiate yr gaming hungers too, the PS3 Slim is the flavor of choice.

3.01 is optional. I think it only fix issues with certain games freezing, like Uncharted.

If it's optional then you can play online, go to PSN, etc without updating the firmware. smile.gif

Yup... 3.0 causes Uncharted to freeze while playing, and 3.01 settles that problem..... and just before Uncharted 2 is very soon due....

I dont have any BD freeze problems while using 3.0 nor 3.01...

Check out Sony Centre in Sunway Pyramid, the offer was RM599 for S350 (not S360) and limited to 10 units..... but they nvr say when it started and if the 10 units have been sold off...

Donno if other Sony Centres or Sony Styles are doing this offer, mayb its only this Sony Centre...
