I think it was a free Sony Blu-Ray I think,it was the promotion by Sony,RM2499 40'' Sony FHD TV with free Blu-Ray Player,I said I didn't want the Blu-Ray player cos that time I was thinking,I never use Blu-Ray before nor do I buy the BD movies,it's so expensive.So they reduce to RM1999.Worth it?Or wrong decision?  sweat.gif

This is what I had been advised.

If you are a collector of original Bluray disc, then buy a Bluray player.

If you only wanted to watch movies and do it cheaply, then buy a Media Player.

If you wanted a cheap media player that works 95% of the time, get a branded one like WDTV etc for +/-RM300. The other 5% of the time, be prepared to say *&^*^% and curse.

If you wanted a higher ended media that works 99% of the time, get a Dune or something similar for about <RM1K.

Like some had said, just go get a Dune Prime or MAX that play almost all movies files downloaded, play DVD and play Bluray. But will cost you a bit of money.....but then, it's best hassle free way of enjoying movies.

I think I will just get a Samsung BD-C5500 like what andrewtst recommended,it can play BD,DVD,and VCD,plus supports USB movies too,for RM399,sounds good  biggrin.gif

Can this C5500 play big 40G files ripped of Bluray?

OK, please allow me to do some calculation.

A RM400 2 TB hard disk can hold about 200 movies so the cost of storing each movies is about RM2.

May i ask, if your TV or DVD Player can play mkv, why bother having the HD DUNE BASE?

Then? where you store the movie? don't told me you burn to blank disc (either DVD-R or BD-R).
Sorry, I meant to say, if TV/Player already have media player, why does he still need a DUNE.
