Good morning guys.

I just bought myself a new LED TV and also a home theater system. I just got my first 2 Blu-ray last week. "The Dark Knight" (always a popular choice) and also Alien Anthology. Looking forward to expand my collection and learn from all the sifus here.

Thanks for the headsup!

The sound of music is heavy, for standard post, I guarantee it goes to i-parcel, with it, ya... you need to wait as sometimes i-parcel service is kind of crap in speed.

Ahh...thanks for all the explanation. So can i assume that Platinum edition is a "i will milk you bankrupt" sort of edition?

got a question. I have a friend living in Singapore, and she comes up to KL twice a week. Is it worth getting Blu-ray from Singapore? Is it cheaper?

As pointed out by others earlier, there is no fixed rate as the rate fluctuates day to day and each credit card bank uses diferent rates. For rough calculation to compare prices, use 1USD=3 RM as a rule of thumb. You can see the daily exchange rate in the newspapers.

Many thanks.. i always thought the rate could go up as high as RM3.2 with some banks.

how about Currency Converter Application? I used tis application in my Nokia phone. Maybe your HTC Sensation have tis application, download from Android Market. I used tis application converter before comfirm 'mahu beli barang dari Amazon'. This application 'boleh check' all currency in the world, update currency everyday. From my experience, tis application 'beza' between rm3 to rm5 from bank charge me in every purchase in Amazon. Saya boleh bajet duit dalam setiap pembelian. PEMBELIAN BERHEMAH..smile.gif

Thanks for the tip bro. Will definitely try that

A friend is at Singapore now. There is a promo on selected bluray disc. SG30 for each. Buy 2 and get SG10 off each disc. I'm getting Ironman 1 and 2 for about RM120. Worth it?
