Censorship too lazy...or they've being bribed...as long as no smart ass minister tries to play the "we're are more islamic than you, therefore you must censor!!!", things will be fine.

Actually I agree, almost no reason to buy pirate anymore. I didn't even know that region 3 original so cheap until recently. For me, anything with the 60 bucks range I think is a reasonable price to pay for a DVD.

The only problem I have is that there is very little DTS titles around. Damn sad. don't know bcos of multi-language support, lack of space or whatever.

Anyways, my view is that with a good quality DVD player, a pirate D9 has pretty good video quality. The only area I think is lacking is the audio quality tends to loose out compared to original.

The Phillips for 339 + HDMI cable sounds too good to be true. I'll go and scout after work and pick it up if it's true (since my old philips kaput recently! damn sad).

if the pirate one transfered the entire ori region 2 or region 1 DVD to a real 8.5GB DVD9 blank, I don't think there will be any difference between video or audio quality...
unless you think those DVD9 logo on the cover sold by pirates (which are 4.3GB ones) are actually real 8.5GB DVD9s..

There are ahem D9 dvds that exceed the 5GB barrier but giving you D5 picture quality. Very easy, throw in tons of trailers, rubbish music videos and there you have it, 7GB of space, you might be fooled that it's a D9 movie but the extra space has been filled up with these rubbish materials, the actual movie itself is just a D5 movie which has been compressed. You'll see artifacts on the movie itself. A fine example is the movie 28 Weeks Later. I bought the original copy instead.
don't worry, the reviewers say the PQ for bluray of this title (the 1st one) also crap.. tongue.gif biggrin.gif

TIER 5 -COAL-
Only slightly better than DVD.Visible artifacting, softness, quality rivals upconverted DVD.
28 Days Later Video: MPEG-4 | Audio: DTS-HD MA | AR: 1.85:1 | Fox

Do note that different shops - Best Denki, Harvey Norman and any others, have DIFFERENT conditions for their 5 year warranty.

IE not all 5 year warranties ARE THE SAME.

Make sure you check out the T&C. Insist on seeing something on paper. Not just the salesman 'trust me'. He probably won't be around should you need to do a warranty claim.

Mostly true, but I have some discs where - really - it sucks - it says DTS but can tell the sound quality is off.

I think not many do 1:1 transfer. Some will cut corners, reduce bit-rate, whatever.

RM60 can buy blu-ray - 'almost' lah.

That's true. But if you see, blu-ray and normal DVD is almost the same price in US as well. So cannot say lah. Just that we get some crazy 150 bucks lah. Nonsense.

But coming, back, new movie - RM60 DVD, original, well I can't complain lah. and many are even cheaper.

do I prefer cheaper - who doesn't want!!! - but I think the current pricing is reasonable.

dont simply support piracy lah - unless specific reasons - DVD features, sountrack, region1 copy better, whatever.
