Why parallel importing have to do with censoring? There is 2 different issues. Is those Studios restrict other parties except Speedy to sell those BDs in Malaysia? If fact when we purchase those BDs from Amazon, since when I resale to others? Sorry, I am not seller of BDs here.  whistling.gif

When you have bigger screen or Projector, maybe you will appreciate or prefer their don't compress those movie too much.

Those articles are interesting but what have it to do with the topic we discussed?

Unfortunately, FINAS only very active in Penang and not other states.

well i could say the same for you to be off topic in the fist reply, it two different subject of appreciating high resolution than owning a projector or "bigger screen",

average folks don't need giant size display to tell different between source material, heck, i can see the different even with a low resolution 17" ultrasharp monitor, i don't need anything in native full hd to compare pixel details of any material sources, you don't need a projector to pixel peep, and you don't need to pixel peep at tv series such a comedy sitcoms such i mention in the first place hence the "I don't really mind fitting of few seasons in one bd"

heck even 2 season are fitted easily for some series with no problem lah, what the heck are u crapping, do you even know the size of a dual layer bd? sure you might have a imaginary projector, but are only to tell different by blowing a full hd video life size to tell, ? i think you need to see WQHD or (QFHD) in action first then u talk about "don't compress" or own yourself an IMAX then you talk big screen, dont compare lamo full hd projector as in god send from another planet to pixel peep...your source material is just full hd how big your display screen they wont magically grow pixels... doh.gif

censoring is part of the law here, in the country where u breath your air.... so it is illegal for u to import majority of the bds, so yeah, you are not only cheapskate ,but illegally importing those video without passing Finas , so don't go all mighty on me, we all does it so just admit it,

as for those articles it re-establish the fact that its not totally legal to own imported bd movies from oversea without passing censorship by FINAS, its illegal to resell and make profit these imported bds without pay some taxes to our dear ketam ( no matter how we hate it) its a fact that any bd without the "Tulen KPDN & HEP Original" stupid stickers are deemed non original to our stupid goverment, so yeah noyone like these laws buts its a facts here and they exist

haha... what i meant to bro maskedchan was to stress him a point that if stuck at his tree at least it was much easier to retrieve the parcel because it was already at his home  laugh.gif

good for you... maybe if further delay, who knows... full refund maybe?  brows.gif like what happened to me during BF last year, one of my delayed order shipped via iparcel (not sure if it was caused by delay at Customs) was refunded in full amount after estimated date overdue... so when i received it - it is a free new year present!  rclxms.gif
*
if u want to continue buying from them i think its better to not abuse this privilege, cause i have few friends having their cc black listed and can't purchase bd from amazon anymore, too much refunds and claims lol.... biggrin.gif
but knowing for facts that our purchase are insured by them , really makes its safer to buy from them...

bro, you are right but in these cases, it was not our fault because Amazon in the first place appointed a not-so-efficient shipping company namely iparcel to distribute their products worldwide where more than often, goods went MIA or very much delayed for some strange reasons.

As a consumer (and their customer), we just exercise our rights by informing them the goods didn't arrive on the estimated dates given by them. I can understand your concern (and mine too) if we abuse this privilege by demand them refunds blindly. The refunds I received was at their own will.  nod.gif
*
yup its true, but there are alot of seller here abuse it, to earn free copies, thats my Malaysia are one of the few places blacklisted for shipping in online shopping its sad, tommy hilfiger has just block us too, haiz... there are so many stuff to buy that are cheaper there, and yet our reputation are tainted thanks to some idiots sad.gif

QUOTE(low98944 @ Dec 13 2011, 06:38 AM)
Amazon already give me option of full refund or send replacement if parcel not receive few days later. Judging from the value of that parcel, definitely need to return to Amazon if I receive this parcel after Amazon full refund or send replacement.

If only 1 copy or 2 copies, quite sure Amazon will ask you to keep it but in this case, it is 12 copies  laugh.gif better return to Amazon since their will refund the shipping cost to us later.
*
same thing happen to my friend ,his area of receiving bd using iparcel always either late, (1 year late) ,lost or damage, its legitimately claims from them, but after a while, his cc is black listed, no more bd purchase, sad, but true....even its few copys of return,sooner of later, still same.... i just hope amazong dont totally block bd sales here, rolleyes.gif shakehead.gif

I've bought Sony BDU X10S long ago and it's on my HTPC. It's 2 1/2 years old now, running well. PowerDVD now plays most of the Blu-ray format discs. Instead of ripping , why don't you make it an *.iso? I do such for some of the movies i have, just never felt like taking them off the rack , so i , instead configured virtual BDROM and mount on it and runs exactly as if running a Blu-ray disc  brows.gif

oh thanks i trying out total media theatre, was told very good, cause i wanna play 3d movies also , my powerdvd version too old dont support 3d, sad.gif

That is funny.
The other day I was chatting with Bro wiNd, I realised that the people that i know in real life (excluding ppl in this forum) did not watch BD movies. The nearest case is one of my friend watch pirated one. Here everyone sapu BD like no tomorrow! tongue.gif
Aiseh, i totally forgot about the priority shipping (cos i have not use it before). if i pay extra, i would expect the service is equal to it. If late delivery, I will ask for refund even the fault is at Ketam.
I admit i am lucky when comes to iparcel delivery.
The only thing I dont like about iparcel is the tracking system. It seems like a proper one, but the truth is it does not track. haha, look at the bright side, when the parcel arrive out expectation, it will give me a pleasant surprise!
u hit the nail on the head! i hate it when the item arrive in sub par condition, i am referring to books that i ordered. I very seldom order BD steelbook though.
*
hahaha i has the other way around now all my friends starting watching and collecting Bd, but problem is most of them watch it using built in stereo sound card in pc or on stereo speakers from tv or mini combo set up, whahhahahaa hilarious, i wonder they ever experience lossless before, some keep telling how nice bd is this that but never heard what lossless tracks are.... blink.gif doh.gif

hmmm u have luck in iparcel, before i order through a friends he used DHL we devide the delivery cost, but once try iparcel it when late for 2 months, ...... sad.gif , anyone from ipoh have experience of iparcel???

From the description - http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Toy-Story-Tr...-Blu-ray/28347/

Yup, it only came with 3D version of the movies for the 3D Trilogy set. Unless you buy every single film release then it do came with 2D version of the film.

wah crap.... disney really know how to fish for money.... haiz... i want both 3d and special features dont mind dont have 2d version... guess gonna wait for different release... sad.gif

Disney is great on sucking money, and it seems never include extra features in 3D disc, and that trilogy only have 3D on it, which means it not include any extra then.

UFC fighter apply vaseline on their face before fight is to help prevent cuts and makes the impact slide off easily, if u ever try sparing with MMA glove u'll know damn easy to get cuts, i once accidentally nick a friend, cut wide across the cheek ... very messy... lolz

UFC fighter only apply abit before start as there are grappling involve, so sweats and the thing wont cause too much problems unlike boxer, then put massive amount before fights and in between rounds.. lol
