String is good lah .. how did he do that? argue that the drive is made by microsoft and work in PC so its a computer product. or maybe his argument was just $20 under the table?

Hmm anyone know if they are selling the HD-DVD add-on player in Singapore?

nope not yet. havent official release here yet. Xboxers here usually buy tru amazon.com or sum shops selling it. BUt since its such an expensive item, i rather wait for local official release. Anything wrong also can send back here to fix.

2-3 weeks ago when I was doing some reading on the add-on player, I came accross this thread at bob.com.sg where this dude order his player from PA. Dunno what's the current status though. Maybe you can try checking the website of some of the SG retailers.

Seems like the player will be coming in Sg only mid of next year.

@Singleguy,

You know roughly how much the shops are selling there and where? Was checking throught Gamesocre no reply if they carry this product. Cheers

i MAYBE asking 1 of the forummer from US to get 1 for me. but see how it goes 1st

hmm.. not sure.. i came across from a forum they guy bought from one of the shop in simlim. Not much shop bring in yet, cause havent official launch yet. And most of the guys i know had it, usually order from states. So

if u need it now, order tru net, or just wait a couple months more for official launch.

Batman Begins is awesome hehehe.

\The trick with customs is to argue, argue, and argue. Best is to go there, open the package (be sure to be present if they're doing this), then argue your case. Tell to look at the backplate (no AV connections, only USB ie connections for PC, bring laptop to show this). If they still insists it's a DVD player then tell them this Toshiba HD-DVD drive, encased in external casing. It has no software for playback capability and is reliant on external software for playback.

The catch is, you have to find the time and patience to do this. I didn't so I opt to pay the duties.

Estimated shipping date for the player: On or before Jan 01, 2007

I tell u, it's the xmas season. You opt for courier?

Yup, I choose FedEx. I guess they don't have the stock yet....

nice movie line ups arj. btw, did u get tax buying all those movies at the same time?

Nope, didn't get taxed. There's also another two music CD in the package

Arj, u getting the HD-DVD add-on for the 360 or standalone HD-A2?

Mine's coming , and im especially ecstatic for trying out The Hulk for HD-DVD. That title, based on raving reviews from the guys at AVSForum, has jump straight up to the top, to be the second reference title after King Kong to showcase your HD-DVD capabilities.

Delivery estimate: January 2, 2007 - January 10, 2007

1 of: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory [HD DVD]<--For In-Movie Experience features

1 of: Underworld - Evolution [Blu-ray]<--For picture quality reference

1 of: Tears of the Sun [Blu-ray]<--For picture quality reference

1 of: Black Hawk Down [Blu-ray]<---THE REFERENCE TITLE for Audio quality, it's a no-brainer, since the movie nabs Best Audio Editing for a Movie awards at the Oscars. Also for the first Bluray title to incorporate Blu-Wizard, Bluray's version of U-Control.

1 of: Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray]<--THE REFERENCE TITLE for Picture Quality for Bluray, the ideal title to test black levels since the movie uses it in spades.

1 of: Ice Age: The Meltdown [Blu Ray]<--THE REFERENCE TITLE for Picture Quality for Bluray. This one is neck-and-neck with Corpse Bride for the best title to use to showcase Blu-ray

1 of: The Hulk [HD DVD]<--The most recent HD-DVD release with U-Control, hailed as the second REFERENCE TITLE alongside King Kong

Only thing is, they are arriving late from Amazon, i missed their cutoff date for early shipping.....

Wah so many u guys order. Anyway, how much is it per movie after converting to RM plus shipping ?

The standalone players are too costly to import at the moment so I'll be getting the 360 add on player for the time being.

Around RM100 for the $20 titles and just under RM130 for King Kong which is $28. I'm used DHL so you can save a further few bucks if you use normal post.



The above two titles are the strongest reason for me to get a PS3 right now
