QUOTE(g5sim @ Dec 24 2006, 01:25 AM) dunno lah .. but it seems like its available everywhere accept Malaysia. hmm will hit MS malaysia with an email ......everywhere that the 360 was launched ofically. The console is not even launched here so I don't think MS will bring it in. I know that it can be used with a PC but the add-on player is an Xbox 360 accessories first and foremost.  |

QUOTE(g5sim @ Dec 25 2006, 03:23 AM) bravo brader !!! god bless you .. bought so many disk before getting a player. so your player would be the add on the the 2nd Toshi player? People are selling for <>$400 in the states (tambah tolak the free shipping, tax and additional free hd dvd titles. Nope, won't be getting a standalone player anytime soon. My next big purchase would probably be the PS3 QUOTE(g5sim @ Dec 25 2006, 03:29 AM) one more question, were you people taxed for the PA HD DVD add on purchase? the Jap version is exactly the same as the rest of the world right? String got taxed around 10% but argued his way out of paying it. MK84 got taxed 20%. Gotta ask string for tips QUOTE(gnome @ Dec 25 2006, 03:38 AM) Omg arj, why aeon flux?! I haven't see the movie yet, some of the reviews says the movie is kinda sucky as well but I picked quite a few titles above for the audio and video quality, not the story That movie sux to the max  (for me atleast  )I'd love to see King Kong and Batman Begins in HD-DVD goodness though  |

QUOTE(zaakath @ Dec 25 2006, 09:59 AM) Hmm anyone know if they are selling the HD-DVD add-on player in Singapore? 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. |

QUOTE(terranova @ Dec 26 2006, 02:29 PM) Arj, u getting the HD-DVD add-on for the 360 or standalone HD-A2? 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.QUOTE(munky @ Dec 26 2006, 03:55 PM) Wah so many u guys order. Anyway, how much is it per movie after converting to RM plus shipping ? 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.QUOTE 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. The above two titles are the strongest reason for me to get a PS3 right now This post has been edited by arj: Dec 26 2006, 06:06 PM |

QUOTE(terranova @ Dec 29 2006, 11:13 AM) Just to point out, I believe PA's HD-DVD stocks are Jap units. So the manual is in Jap, no English text and bundled remote is also Jap. Yup, I'm aware that everything is in Japanese. Guess I'll have to find a picture of the remote in english and print it out Point 1 - In view of the recent internet outage and service degradation, make sure u have a Live connection when installing the add-on as it requires an update from Live (despite having the latest Dashboard update). Point 2 - Make sure you insert the CD that comes along with the add-on BEFORE u plug in the HD-DVD USB connection into the console. A LIVE update is mandatory before using the add-on? Can't just use the CD? |

QUOTE(terranova @ Dec 30 2006, 11:07 AM) Let me know if you need a shot of the english remote. I have one of those when I bought the 360, but never use cos using universal remote. The remote is the same like the one included with the Japanese console? I have that one as well and it's in Japanese but I think I got the hand of using it already As string said above, need Live update. Just the CD alone won't do. LIVE looks stable this morning so I think there shouldn't be any problem to download the update later. I've just received the player, gonna set it up now |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jan 16 2007, 12:29 PM) Multivoltage, Zaakath. As for destinatio sca, it can mean anything, The only time i think, you can breathe easier is when it says it is in the courier truck on the way to your place for delivery. Not really. It happened to me, it said on the delivery vehicle then when it arrived the dude came knocking on my door with the tax bill   |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jan 16 2007, 01:17 PM) They're supposed to call you first with the tax bill before sending over. I had that huge fight over the phone with them about the taxed amount. Maybe after your case they're scared of calling people up alraedy When I wanted to explain to the delivery guy about the drive he said the taxaion stuff is not his call, gotta speak to some customs people dunno where |
