Yo String, whats the best price for the Sharp 52" 1080p? Just want to know the price only. . Out of my price range.
But i'm really interested on either
1. Sony 46" Bravia X 1080p
2. Sharp Aquos 46" 1080p
3. Samsung 46" F7 1080p

Can u do a favor by quoting the prices? I still don't hv the time to search the prices quoted from other shop.

BTW, from the above mentioned LCDs, which one that u recommended?

Thanks.

i think someone is selling the Sharp 1080p display at $12,000. Or maybe its the 42in 1080p. check the bulk sale thread. maybe you can nego the price using the price in the thread

IC, and the 46" is RM16,500.

g5sim, please keep your antics in the other joke threads you created, this thread has no insinuation nor intention to be dragged into another of your HDDVD crusade. For your info, there are tons of us who agree that HDDVD is heading for the dumps, deal with it. AND that is from our own observations with physical players on our hands, not by reading articles and throwing victory jiggles on them. If you have nothing else to add, please shut the hell up, i mean it.

To the rest who are serious about your purchases, i will forward your queries to them via SMS. I am in Zurich, just touched down after 13 hour flight, and im not in jolly mood. Those who have things to bring to the table or queries to ask, please continue to do so here. Those who everything else on your mind, stay the fcuk away. I mean it.

This sounds great, I will put it to the test. Let me do some research and I send you a wish list in the next few days.

Thanks.

wahh, more and more people coming in

Jason: dont go to their website, its outdated, just post the products and we'll try to help you get the best prices

This is a quote from an E-mail Mediaplex's Executive Director Mr. Tan sent me:



I had to 'x' some stuff , Rahsia yang tidak boleh dibocorkan

Discounts are not only for the item i asked for, but any products that they have

But yeah read the bold part.

But for LYN discounts you would need to confirm your identity by string OR me. Just tell us when you are going to look at the stuff by PM or message (PM for my no.). Then, upon arrival tell the staff your LYN nick, and they will call us for confirmation.

Simple as that.

This is great news, lets hope that this offer will last throughout the year since I'm waiting for the Samsung 53 series to come out.

Thanks PSP_boy, with this arrangement, whenever im not around, you can assist the community here with the privileges.

I hope you guys can do a a little research for the items you guys want, then head to Mediaplex for the showroom demo. The staff there will assist you with your needs, then price-match your item in question.

I need to get some lunch, close to 4pm here, chilly 4 degrees C.

i'll try my best bro,well take good care and hopefully see u in 2 weeks time


corel, we hope this offer will last for a long as we like.

Till then,

PM me for my number if any of u want any inquirys

Tell us how the leaches charge you in the end.... hope your parcel was declared at low value.

just call it a balancing of BD hypes and misconceptions and you are helping spreading. Consumers deserve to hear both side of the story. Not one side selling overpriced product by means of intimidation. There is a ignore button feature you know

Look, the whole thread was a representation of what happened and what the folks at Mediaplex feels about the two formats. THey relegated it from the Auditorium, and placed the PS3 in its place. What does that tell you? If you feel that is not right, feel free to come over and present your case there, put your HDDVD in its right place. Lowyat.net forums does not represent the entire AV enthusiast community in Malaysia, you dont have to be petrified if the majority here fancy things that arent your choice here. Dont go slitting your wrist just because everyone dont fancy your pathetic choice in life.

And can we agree that it is not Sony's fault that your godlike HDDVD player hadnt got enough exposure here, making the PS3 looking like a better HD solution. Go picketing and blow your trumpets in public, let them know about your award-winning HDDVD player. Sure, consumer deserves to hear both camps , but it is not Bluray's fault that the HDDVD people are dragging their arse when it comes to creating awareness here. Dont go blaming your camp's shortcomings on the other party.

Im serious, if you need to regurgitate the same HDDVD preachings we all have grown tired to hear, go do it on your own thread, create one yourself and go crazy there for all i care. Leave this thread, i grow numb by your incessant annoyance here.

I need this thread back on course, and to do that,you need to leave, your presence will only derail it from its intended target.

To those asking about the price of the items you asked, Mediaplex have greater flexibility when it comes to Sony-related HDTVs. Samsung and Sharp items would most probably stay retail, but will try their best to make your purchases worthwhile.

Edit: Good News to all Oppo Anticipaters!

Mr. Tan sent me an SMS regarding my E-mail to him and this is what he said (unedited):

wow thats great psp boy!!!my dad's been looking 4 it

Basically it depends on what your are having and what your expectations are. Toshiba has several HD DVD players model that would fit everyone current HT set ups. Meaning you do not that to pay more for features that you are not going to be able to enjoy. Their players range from STREET PRICE - $350-$799 and currently have 6 models in the market and one upcoming model. The models are as following:

HD XA2: 1080p 5.1 Analogue output - Street Price: $799, MSRP: $999 (featuring Silicon Optic's Reon video processor)

HD A20: 1080p (no Analogue output) MSRP: $599 (upcoming in spring)

HD A2: 1080i (no Analogue output) Street Price: $429 MSRP: $499

HD XE1: 1080p 5.1 Analogue output (European version of the US HD XA2)

HD E1: 1080i (no Analogue output) (European version of the US HD A2)

HD XA1: 1080i 5.1 Analogue output - Street Price: $460 MSRP: $799

HD A1: 1080i 5.1 Analogue output - Street Price <$399 MSRP: $499


Take these into consideration deciding on a model. If you have a 1080p display or projector, feel free to pay more for the 1080p models. If you dont and do not plan to get one in the near future, a 1080i player would be sufficient. Same applies to the audio. If you have a HDMI receiver, you DO NOT need pay more for the models with Analogue output.

sumary:

if you have a 1080p display (especially bigger than 42in) or projector, the most matching models are the XA2 or A20. If you dont have a HDMI receiver and do not plan to get one (u know if you have just invest in a receiver without HDMI) then you would need the analogue output of the XA2. If you already have a HDMI receiver, the A20 would be more than enough.

Mind you that the general consensus among the early adoptor is that the XA2 is the BESTest ever upconvert player for Standard DVD in the market. Its unbeatable in whatsoever price range . Do basically if you get this one, there is little reason to replace your Standard DVD library with hidef one. You only need to get new titles on hidef.
