Yup, if u go watch at cinema... wait til after the first end-credit, there'll be a scene revealing of a certain something... the filmmakers already writing a F&F6 but wif the same flavour as F&F5. thumbup.gif

Well, as long the 'fans' still fancy these eye-candy racing cars, brawny men & scantily-clad chicks and not forgetting non-stop-pump-up action sequences, then there could be more sequels to follow. what surprised me for Fast Five was that the first few series got negative reviews from film critics in general but this one received fairly well - high rating summore! 78% approval from 160 critics at Rotten Tomatoes considered high for a no-brainer summer flick, no? notworthy.gif

I could see other discussion threads are actually posting prices of devices and gadgets. Why isn't the moderator's are looking at the matter?

Check the Eaget thread. Seems like the TS is updating the prices and stock availability..ffs..On the other, it definitely does not sound like information to me , more like promoting his sales..!

If there is no voltage switch (120v - 240v on the BD player itself then you need a transformer. You should be able to get it from the electronic shop. US and Malaysia are in the same region for BD.

Wrong section bro, rclxub.gif anyway yup u can play BDs from Malaysia.

Great move, smile.gif you can start from choosing BBC documentaries and yes BBC did the best in documentaries, get it from UK as it is much more cheaper a lot compare with US.

You may start with: (Following is a must have, the greatest documentaries I ever seen, I believe you will impress & satisfied on it. smile.gif )After completing above collection, try the following smile.gifI did not include Baraka as for me it is not a documentaries, I category it just under common category - film. This is a film with gorgeous transfer, beauty scenery, perfect angle, unique & rare shoot with non narration.

** You may ignore all IMAX documentaries, for me it just a normal and nothing spectacular. (I download few and nothing is impress me)

Why you need to buy Blu-ray player from US? I see no point on it. If you said want to get Europe country Blu-ray then it still make sense as maybe you just need a region B player. Just my curious to know... nothing offence.

------------------------------------
Anyway back to your question, you need a converter for voltage issue, and YES, US player can playback Malaysia BD as US is same region A as Malaysia.

------------------------------------
Another question, since you can get player from US, I see even no point getting local BD, it is far more expensive with normal packaging. Unless you are planning on those Uncle Ho BD, then I suggest you have a look and compare price (promotion items in Amazon is quite reasonable price than getting those Uncle Ho BD)

Download copies will not impress anyone either, have u seen the actual IMAX documentaries? I have seen one at my brother's. Can't recall what was it.
It looked stunning. By watching downloaded copy, you will not have the actual feel. Get 1 and try for yourself..

I do not see any sufficient reason ; why you must buy a Blu-ray player from US and further it will never get shipped directly. Remember; tax are imposed on electronic goods and using a forwarder isn't cheap mate. Search around in KL or wherever you live at. Mind you, i saw Sony S370 at Cheras , KL only for RM399. That's utter cheap. Get them here. Don't worry too much about the power voltage and stuff. You are just wasting your precious time ; waiting for your item and shipment to arrive and so on. You'll never find a better place then LYN forum to buy your Blu-ray player and Blu-ray discs. So many sellers, variety of categories, ample of choices, great pricing.

Think about it ; hero icon_rolleyes.gif

Hello, actually it is not a huge different in PQ, you can seen a different, that is confirm, but not a extreme different like watching VCD vs BD, I download BBC life before I get the BD, I download BBC Human Planet before I get it as well, I also download National Geographic - Great Migrations before I purchase the BD as well.

All copy I download is at least 720P or up to 1080P quality - all is near BD quality, and YES I download most the film before I buy the BD.

I download most famous IMAX documentaries but non is impress me, it is just old age shooting with boring and less information narrated, nothing impress me and I won't going to buy any of them.

------------------------------
I support origin, not means I blindly support, as I said before, I won't blind buy.

I reply it as you said "Download copies will not impress anyone either", I had no idea whether you download before or not. Download copy of 720P only MKV is nearly 90% quality like BD. So which part is not impressing.

Support is support, but not means we are subvert the reality. Those MKV copy is stunning.

** Even though 720P MKV is only around 4.3GB, but the quality is nearly 90% like BD, which is far far better than 8GB original DVD. (can't compare actually). This is extremely tell how great the compression did by MKV format.

Yes, you need to download a copy and check for yourself, download a copy that you already own the BD, then you know how spectacular MKV format are. I am crazy impress on it quality, remember it only 4.3GB but BD is at least 25GB. Off course higher AQ I seen in MKV is only a 5.1 Dolby, they surely don't have TrueHD yet, I think it support but no people is going to use it as this will extreme increase the file size.

Just try 720P MKV is far than enough, 1080P MKV just increase the file size up to 10GB ++ or even more with nothing much huge different on it.

I mean watching it in actual distance you watch the BD and I only test up to 40inch TV.


Added on May 12, 2011, 12:58 amI got IMAX - Blue Planet, IMAX - Galapagos, IMAX - The Living Sea ... .this all I have and non of it impress me at all.


Added on May 12, 2011, 1:03 amActually I still giving hope/chances for IMAX, I am interesting on below title which got good review, but it is a mix, where some people is given bad review as well, maybe someday I will getting it. smile.gif Hope it won't disappointed me.

I nearly finish checking most available documentaries in blu-ray.com and I can't really find any others IMAX great title beside below this:
  • Mother Earth Blu-ray 5-Pack (IMAX)
I never watch it, so I can't recommended as well. I suggest ignore IMAX documentaries as I believe for person that never watch documentaries or seldom, by given them a IMAX documentaries is just pushing them away from documentaries forever. Beside this, IMAX documentaries PQ is just OK, I only score them around 3 to 3.5 star for PQ. It don't have a spectacular 4 to 5 star PQ scoring well did by BBC.
