Received Disneynature: Wings of Life (Blu-ray / DVD) today.

Seem like this week there is no more Deal of the Week for Blu-ray. Is Amazon change their policy again no to have Deal of the Week for Blu-ray? If not mistaken, Deal of the Week for Blu-ray just started around 2 years ago.

Fortunately, still got. But their no longer inform buyers in Blu-ray Movies & TV page.

Don't worry now. GST not yet implement. In fact, GST have bigger impact on our daily life than buying BD. Cause GST will eventually replace Sales Tax and Service Tax.

Anything other than cash, is subject to GST. So, it is either exempt or taxable. If taxable, GST is either standard-rated or zero-rated.

I don't think GST will implement soon cause it affect everyone in Malaysia. So, when Government want to implement, definitely got some people say no yet ready, give more time.

Then situation is similar like minimum wage case.

Don't worry too much. GST, in fact, is a fairer tax. Since it mean you only pay more GST when you spend more.

So, normally, the richer people, who have higher spending habit, need to pay more.

And some necessity goods are zero-rated GST (0% GST or similar to no GST).

Sorry to heard that, but I am interested to this set since I never own any of these movies. Just plan to order Die Hard 5. Since got Combo set, may as well choice Combo set.

Is Singapore dealer for Oppo Blu-ray player, mainly BDP-103 still SLT Technology Pte Ltd.? or Audio Iconic? or there is many dealers in Singapore?

Can purchase mod kit from all dealers?

What to take note if we want to bring back new Oppo Blu-ray player back to Malaysia through Airline (eg. MAS, AirAsia etc)?

Great!

Yep. Need to try my luck. Plan to buy 1 unit of BDP-103 when I visit Singapore on early June this year.

Maybe I will remove the box cover and put the player in my luggage and claim it is used unit.

Anyone get caught used this method?

You need to look for those mod player to enable you to play Region A and Region B. In usual electronic shops, I don't think got. Need to look for those specialized store that specialize in selling audio and video equipments. Maybe their have sales mod player like Oppo Blu-ray player with modification kit. But that usually expensive.

johnbluraylover, any idea the Oppo Blu-ray player buy from SLT Technologies is come with Type G power plug (Malaysia type)?

I noted if order from Amazon US, the Oppo BDP-103 after inclusive of deposit for import tax (aound $200+) and select cheapest shipping charges only around US$760 (around RM2,400) ship to Malaysia. Whereas, if SLT Technologies sell this unit at S$999 (around RM2,500), it seem like more expensive than purchase from Amazon US. The only problem is power plug and whether it is 110V or 240V.

Since Singapore having Great Singapore Sales start from May 31, any possibility SLT Technologies will give discount for this player based on their past practice? Any idea?

I know Singapore is using same plug as us but just not sure the plug come with Oppo already change or not.

Then maybe can try Audio Iconic, their go physical shop and also can ask to deliver any address in Singapore.

Star Trek Into Darkness Starfleet Phaser Limited Edition Gift Set is available for pre-order in Amazon, anyone interested?

Too bad, can't copy Amazon's image for this Gift set.

Also a bit disappointed about this Gift set. Previous Star Trek Gift Set is far better than this.
