Sifus and seniors,

Would like your opinion about these 2 players. Thanks for your honest input.

Honestly the Vierra cast and U Tube functions is a gimmick for me so far. How many people use that anyway. I have already have notebooks at home. So I never consider this point but the western world will.
Perhaps another not so gimmicky is the front USB and SD Card where we can play Dvix thru it but sony cant do that.

I'm looking at the point where the PQ and SQ. Also, SQ may not be that important when I can bitstream to my Yamaha AVR to decode.

That left with only PQ. I google around and notice these 2 unit almost peformed at the same level. Except in What Hifi which gave Sony 5 star and Pana at 4 star drop from 5 just a after a few months. And their reason is PQ and SQ mostly. Even with the lack of extra feature mentioned, the sony can still be at 5 star. But.... as many also mention, dont trust them too much. ha ha ha ha


And many user are very happy with the result of the pana.

OK, the next info I'm going to share is going to get everyone exited..... especially those who plan to upgrade or get a new BDPlayer.

The price for both of these now selling at RM599/=


Oh yah, I have not tell you which shop but is is very familiar shop you all should know..... deng deng deng.... wait my next reply. I guess perhaps someone already know. but I want to share it. The world of BDPlayer is no longer expensive. I've been waiting for years for the price to drop this much. Is also a sign that the new generation is coming.

Yeah, I guess Panny is solving the regular freezing issue when this product was launch. So.....

Hope it fixed it.

Anyone still facing freezing issue with the panny BD60?

thanks this is good info. Have you updated your firmware?

I guess thats your answer..

Btw.

for those who are waiting and I didnt reply your PM so I can answer it here.... The shop that selling these at RM599 is non other than.... deng deng deng deng.... drummmmm rollinng.......

SEC.


U want some contact in Penang... PM me ok....

SEC= Star Electronics & sales

Honestly guys, I dont know about KL. I was planning to go to KL and buy. But somehow luck struck. SEC offered to me. Just a moment ago, 2 friends going to SEC near Queensbay mall.

Oh btw another fantastic offer is, I extended my warranty to another 5 years. Total warranty now 6 years for additional Rm72 niah. The friends I met cant believe their ears for this price. Almost sound impossible. So I showed them my receipt which made them make a call to their husband and wife to go there now.


happy hunting everyone.

I have chosen the Pana BD60 as well. Was with Sony at 1st and change my mind. What Hifi has the Sony as the 2009 award.

But if you google around, notice that many other so call expert review prefer the Pana over the Sony.

I kinda like the idea of reading Divx file and front SD and USB.

Who to trust? well.. for practicability, I trust the users. See how the actually users use them especially in Malaysia.

For performance wise, trust the expert reviewer but look at what are the +ve and -ve they mentioned. It may be something good for them, but not really for us.

And also trust what my plan is. So.... looking forward for my BD60 on Tuesday....

Huh? Who said finish? I dont know. but my case is, I change from Sony to Pana. So delay another day. I hope those interested still have the time to get one. Also, look for Mr Neoh from that SEC at Queensbay.

Btw, it doesn't come with HDMI cable.

I heard the other way around. Well... every bluray player got this problem. Some maybe a few second faster.

But If I could, I wish to have both.. ha ha ha

Well, usually this cable come separately and not in the box. I got one also when I bought my LCD TV for free. Pana HDMI looks good and tough. I plan to get other cable to try and see. but that would be later on.


Now got many fake Monster cable too. ha ha ha ha

from the same place as I mentioned?

so fast finish de.. people must be attacking all the branches... ha ha ha

Is new in the box. Also, can SEC sell so many demo unit?

I called SEC just now. Stock still got. Have to wait for it to arrive. So go any SEC branch and ask. No display unit in the shop.

Or go singapore buy this pop corn hour. Add a BD ROM, you have yourself a device that download and play BD. You computer can rest and do other stuff. ha ha ha
