Hmm they carrying HD DVD players and Bluray players?

No i jz put samusng's name upside down bcoz i cant think of a name and as i said i can find for 7.5k in HSL in ss2 (sony's price is 8k )

HD-XA1 is on the showfloor at this moment, while their Bluray player is the PS3. You can ask them to get you the XA1, or the A2, but im holding that purchase myself, seeing how HD-DVD is on its way to Davy Jones' locker anyway.

aiya i think it was lg who said they will make a hddvd bluray player by end of this yr might as well wait lor

LG's BH100 Hybrid player does not play HD-DVD properly, hence it does not and is not allowed to carry the HD-DVD logo on its player. HD-DVD player without proper interactive features playable is a gimped player. And it costs more than USD1000+ .

String beat me to the response

I didn't know what to say, hence i didn't say anything

wa usd1000+ looks okay as long as less than 2k usd

What? Even im cautious when it comes to that amount of money, even moreso when it comes to a crippled player. You must have tons of cash at your disposal.

well currently a bluray player for a pc will cost 2.8k so if it is about 4k 2 get a hybrid player it actually is quite okay buy then is HDDVD loses the high def war then it would be a wasteof money so i guess i dont need a player since my ps3 can play bluray perfectly well

Ermm, do you even get what i say? The Hybrid player you mentioned is a crippled player, it does not play HD-DVDs properly. Why anyone would wanna pay that much for a crippled player?

it doesnt play them properly but as long as can ply ok la i not that technical wan lor so all the features oso i wont use

You're easy to please. The most favourite type of customer any salesman can get. That is not a compliment.

HD-DVDs have special features like extras and behind the scenes videos, which are embedded in their In-Movie Experience (IME) or U-Control. This feature is crippled in the LG hybrid player. So you are saying you are willing to lose out on these extras already on your HD-DVD disc, when you play them on the hybrid player? You're the first person i know who are willing to lose out on things you have already bought.

oooohhh icic no wonder i always kena con.... only thing i nvr kena con is not related to entertainment wan.... i wish i was more technical... T_T

bro....how about audio system?..which thread should i go?...nak carik BOSE system la...if possible,hope they can match the price mcm kat US......kat US affordable la hargenye......

Hmmm.... matching prices is a good start but a subjective one. Just like Carrefour, they have the same policy ... but in order to prove, have to show competitor's price from ads or prints.... which is not practical. Cheap prices are never on print ie. negotiated.

So how to prove negotiated price from competitor?

From experience, better price are found from electrical or smaller shops. Just the other day, asked Mediaplex about Denon 1930 player.... when they mentioned RM2500, I almost jumped back out the entrance. The first price I got over the phone (not even bargain yet) from shop in SS2, was RM1600.

oh yeah...i have to agree about this situation also....
the 1st plasma that i bought (from small electrical shop) was arnd 13K.........but whereas from big chain retailer at that time has a SRP of 15K.......thats 2K diff......
......i guess the only way that they gonna believe it is that they "act" like a customer and call those smaller electrical shop.....
...well...thats my 2 cents...

I was checking on the prices of LCD tv at Mediaplex and was quoted RM7999 for the Toshiba 42" L66E. Can they better the quote I got at RM6300?

My Oppo 981HD is in the custom offices...reached here last week..will be getting it next week as I just received the confirmaton letter from Poslaju yesterday...I do agree that Mediaplex should consider carrying this Oppo in Malaysia..such a headache buying it from oversea..luckily, got frens there...

apa lagi..string..samabar that 52"....it will be a total awesome to be paired with all of your coolest gadget.....

wow i like the use of the term 'relegated' almost like Premier League football teams 'relegated' to division one. I hope that is your wording and not Mediaplex's


wow .... what a statement yet the cheapest "BD player" PS3 is the one who is slashing its price by 20% just 3 months after its launch in the product's strong hold in JAPAN !!

Albeit as String has put it, it doesnt carry the HD DVD logo because it doesnt support the MANDATORY interactive feature of HDi. Meaning you can watch a HD DVD movie on it but you wont be able to change the car colour in Tokyo Drift for example.



I agree. Furthermore, it doesnt exhibit or represent the true capability of HD DVD. And oh you can get a PS3 and a HD DVD A2 for less than $1K so why on earth would you pay $1199 for the LG player?

well if you have a 1080p display yes. PS3 will play Blu-ray 'perfectly well'. If you only have a 1080i or 720p display that does 1080i , then you are screwed because PS3 does not let you do 1080i. Anything below 1080p will be downconvert to only 720p.

Added on February 11, 2007, 2:00 amand not to mention that if you do not have a HDMI receiver, mandatory 5.1 PCM lossless soundtracks on each Blu-ray disk will be channeled via toslink optical as a 2.0 channel of sound only. Its worst if the blu-ray title doesnt come with Dolby Digital or DTS track as you will be stucked with only the mandatory PCM at 2.0 channels. All this is because advance audio codec such as Dolby Digital Plus/ TrueHD and DTS HD/DTS HD Master is not mandatory in Blu-ray. Dolby Digital Plus and the lossless track of TrueHD are MANDATORY on HD DVD titles
