QUOTE(Hartigan @ Dec 24 2019, 05:56 PM) But i guess they don't have many of those old bd titles for sales anymore, like the 90's film example "Face/Off", "Broken Arrow", "The Rock"....just to name a few, i have seen these titles for sales at speedy outlets a long time ago, but now it seems they almost non-existence, can't find them |

QUOTE(munchoong @ Dec 26 2019, 04:19 PM) Just take care TO AVOID Captain America: Civil War. good advice... btw already owned captain america civil war US version years ago during black friday. that is one reason why i'm not that fond on buying any asian region A blu-ray;other than the usual bad quality packaging printing!! The Asian release of Civil War has lossy DTS-HD HR 7.1 audio, instead of the lossless DTS-HD MA 7.1 audio. AFAIK all other MCU BDs do not have this weird problem. |

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Dec 27 2019, 09:05 AM) even without BF, usually UK version boxset cheaper than US version. plus the annoying "nipple" on them However, I only owned few UK boxset due to ugly design and bulky casing. QUOTE(maskedchan @ Dec 27 2019, 09:05 AM) i wont necessary have issue with cut n pate job since that is the master artwork from the movie studio... but the not-so-great printing job done by local printers. i think apart from quality and features of the PQ/AQ of the disc, it is the packaging overall quality... seems to be one of the reason we collect and keep the so-called "physical" media; now that "digital" or "streaming" has been the popular choice among general audiences |

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Dec 31 2019, 08:58 AM) do you consider to design your on cover page or print image from internet for BD and replace those ugly one? ermm... if only i have spare time to do so. but i dont really matter much the original cover design so far released by studios although i may prefer a certain design of a movie for a format i won't be buying; for instance i may prefer a 3D blu-ray cover release instead of the standard blu-ray one which i'm owning. QUOTE(maskedchan @ Dec 31 2019, 08:58 AM) Yeah. I prefer boxset that have slim casing, e.g. Matrix Trilogy from US. aik, i heard you recently mentioned you'd prefer to fill-up your shelf... so a thicker casing of a boxset title is better than a slim-case one, no...? I thought Europe countries will have better idea on environmental friendly by reducing plastic use, but the UK BD casing speak louder personally i'd prefer a slimmer-case too – my favourite is the Austin Powers Triple Feature; it's so thin all three casing combined almost the same thickness as a normal single case bluray! |

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Jan 3 2020, 08:23 AM) sometimes amazon was too generous... for the past 2-3 years, when i just informed them that one parcel was arriving late, they just gave me the option of either a replacement order FOC, a full refund, waived shipping fee or gave me a promotional certificate (ie. $$$ for my next purchase) without me giving any hint of asking for those!! |

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Jan 6 2020, 09:34 AM) depend which customer service did you get. oh okay... for me 9 out of 10 of my conversations with an amazon customer service personnel are from indian descent! so far they've been generous la, if you get those from indian, usually hard to get perks from them compare to US customer service but of course sometimes you have to use the "reverse psychology" method when interacting with them as i always do. praise them or the company a bit, make it felt like you're really disappointed and frustrated about the issue you’re facing and tell them amazon is the company you trusted from years of dealing bla bla bla… always works for me, at least most of the time! |

QUOTE(GuyB @ Feb 6 2020, 03:08 PM) Hey guyz... question on a region free 4K Blu-ray player.. Where to find in Malaysia? Lazada wanted RM 1800 whereas on Amazon US it’s $350! Any problems getting it sent from USA? Duties? Tax? Malaysian certification required..? I recommend you buy in m’sia bro... even if at amazon US the price is cheaper, you have not consider its shipping and handling costs... and on top of it, the more important factor, you need a power adaptor since US electrical appliances run on lesser voltage of 120V; which is less than malaysia’s 240V requirement... Thanks! |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Mar 23 2020, 02:10 PM) I have Panasonic UB400, picture quality is not as great as others. This UB450 is difficult to buy as not selling official locally and review also said picture quality is not as good as others. https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/panasonic-dp-ub450 really arr bro... 4K also can have not so good picture quality if compare between brands? i thought this "ultra-high definition" format is the creme de la creme of all visual media now.... hmmm HDR 10+ is useless for me as my TV is LG C9, LG will never add-in support of HDR 10+, same as Samsung will never add-in Dolby Vision support. I think I better stick with Sony which had better review. QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Mar 30 2020, 10:21 PM) I check the box before, and as usual only 4K UHD Blu-ray is region free. Blu-ray wise is region A and DVD is region 3. finally the BDA made a wise decision to drop the region-coding nonsense on its 4K UHD home media... how sad to remember back then when dvd started the whole region-coding mess – i bought my then RM2.5k pioneer dvd player that couldn't play my RM135 US-imported R1 Terminator 2 Judgment Day dvd some 23 years ago!! just when i was excited like crazy jumping onto the so-called advanced new digital home media format and suddenly left me sleepless nights for days caused by this problem |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Mar 31 2020, 03:58 AM) Ya, player quality is different on different price range, I read review just known about it. I had compare my remux copy with actual disc and notice Apple TV 4K had better video output compare with my value 4K UHD Player where have sometimes black crush issue. That the reason I plan to buy the Sony one, review is great with Dolby Vision support. understand your point on the 4K quality one. btw on the MCO, will only extend if covid case got any worse... let's hope our country will flatten the curve by the 14th. US oso extended til end of april! lagi teruk... |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Mar 31 2020, 08:47 PM) Yup, we all must listen and stay at home to fight this virus and prevent further extend. agree bro! so what are you watching.... rewatch all your old blu-rays / 4Ks / dvds or the new ones? for me, at the moment i'm catching up on most movies i missed at the cinema this year on digital... just before they were all shut down. Now lets enjoy more movies during this stay at home period. |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Apr 2 2020, 05:46 PM) If you already have region free blu-ray player, then just get any 4K UHD player since 4K UHD disc is always region free. good advice. i may get one 4k player (maybe the ones you suggested) in the future... not so soon though because i only have like 3 titles in 4k |
