I have shipped 1.5k worth of BD before, kettam never even open it and check.

I also have 2 pieces of BD worth around RM220 held at kettam.

Sometimes it depends on luck. My friend ship it to his office - Institute Jantung Malaysia, never kena kettam before! RM2k worth of BD all lepas! vmad.gif

Wow..

Luck indeed ..

But since you know de logics behind de 500 limit might as well follow la..

Criteria for buyin bds :

1. Story - wat I like, not necesarry great rvws..
2. Cost - I buy a lot of used ttls - makes de budget go further..
3. PQ
4. AQ

Cheers

Just watched District 9. One of the best Sci-Fi movie in recent memory... very creative & inventive! Never seen this type of movie being done like this before but this one's not for all though; some may find this too quirky, absurd & awkward. I liked it because it was not contrived, not typical, very realistic and don't take itself too seriously. There's also some good performances by the unknown actors and very touching ending.

There's nothing to shout on PQ as it was done a la documentary, shaky footage look, everything saturated, over exposed... but that's what I like about the tone & feel. AQ meanwhile is very good, LFE really shake you especially during the "lift-off" and some other "bling balang pow" moments.  biggrin.gif  One more thing I love this movie...the censorship gave up on snipping the F-word, too many of them hehe..

Overall reminds me of Starship Trooper; the un-cheesy version. Go watch it if you have the chance, see what do you think of this one. Me, I'm bloody satisfied... 4.5 out of 5, recommended!  thumbup.gif

Although not really a full blown concert, I like the Hall & Oates Live at the Troubadour blu-ray. The AQ is very well mixed and a good balanced sound. You can sense the intimacy and up-close feel of the club setting where the "concert" was held. Of course, being a Hall & Oates fan helps, which I believe you are since you're in that age group! tongue.gif

Hi,

I hv tat too.. IMO de pq of tat bd is far from de best ( n I do like Hall n Oates)
I hv seen Shakira - Oral Fixation Tour n own Manilow - Live but de best I hv seen so far is Celine Dion - Live @ Las Vegas - probably the most extravagant concert wif its sets n props - plus de pq is amazing, odo is not to shabby either..

The advantage of NOT having a tracking from Amazon is... when your parcel went missing or your parcel kena tax kaw-kaw and you refuse to pay or your parcel kena confiscate from Ketam/KDN etc etc.... then you can tell Amazon it's missing and can request for replacement and/or refund etc.  laugh.gif

Wif tracking, you can't lie, right...  biggrin.gif

Haha..

U can still say u didnt receive it , wat .. n knowin how great their CS is, they shld do sumtin.. except in those cases (porn or explicit stuf) where Gahmen has confiscated it la.. dont really know how to wrangle out of tat

Aiyah..

Its only like a coupla minutes diff between de 2.. I seriously doubt there is much more of a 'Story' tat can be added to its alrdy simple storyline..
Well, to me.. Taken is great popcorn fare - leave-your-brain-at-de-door movie..

Anyone bought Celine Dion Live in Las Vegas? I hear it's really good...

Yes..

It is really over the top concert..

Its not jus and aural ride but a visual spectacle too - usin wires/trapeze sets ala cirque de soliel - corteo style..

If u like celine dion songs then tis is a no brainer..

Tis is officially my 2nd best concert bd liao (aftr Celine Dion) Oso played in Las Vegas tis magician(makes magic wif his music..) garnered a reputable galore of guests to spend like 5/6 mins to sing one or 2 songs - sum relatively unknown, Charise for example to headliners Andrea Bochelli n Josh Groban all singin their hits accompanied by him on piano..

Katherine Mcphee is a real head turner here thou' when compared to soprano Streisand doin Somewhere shows her pop roots in tru color but like I said she is gorgeous here n tats wat vdo is all about..

Peter Ceteras here too n aftr him cums Bochelli which again shows d diff between master n apprentice..

The selection of songs made de 2 hr musical go by really fast..

Its got multiple angles feature too but didnt notice tis aftr my first look - will try it out on my 2nd visit..

Gud stuff here ..

VDO is superb n tis deserves de 2nd billing status..
ODO is great wif lossless odo..

Hi,

Constantine bd is nice.. PQ is excellent - de 'insect demon' is indeed really sharp - de last time I watched tis in SD, there wasnt much detail, here u can see de insects/crabs clearly..
AQ is lossless n a tad better than de SD version..

If u r a fan of Keanu than tis is worth gettin..

IMO...

Hi,

Same specs as UK model doesnt mean its region B .. Bro

I read sumwhere tat pioneer bdp can be hardware hacked to region free status but its exp and voids warranty.. at least tis info is fr my Sg mates.. best bet/ value for money region free player at de moment is de SLT Oppo bdp 83 - S$1k wif everytin plus cherries on top..
