It's because of the price cut and the 5-free titles.

The samsung M8 series do not have dvi input, and only the vga input which is limited to 720p resolution...but it has no problem for 1080p resolution through DVI-HDMI input for PC connection, and similar like G7, 1080p resolution fthrough component input (gaming only).

U guys can always hook up with a mail forwarding service provider in the US (not PO Box mind you) and get all the stuff forwarded to MY. If cost-sharing, may be feasible. e.g. http://www.usabox.com/

(thre are other Bluray exclusive titles imported by Xploted cinema to US too..chx it yourself) And from other site..Transformer is expected to hit HD-DVD on 3rd Dec.. http://www.blahdvd.com/blah/HD_Home.aspx NOTE: more exclusive titles for Bluray will be released in HD-DVD by European Distributors, and might be not released in US for Bluray due to cheaper production and manufacturing costs for HD-DVD Added on August 6, 2007, 2:12 am QUOTE(brabus55 @ Aug 5 2007, 06:40 PM) wahh bro silencer,baru sampai kampung..no streamyx!! 1515 only..damn slow..thanx for the answer..i plan to connect my pc to lcd tv via hdmi from my vga card..juz bought a new lappie,and now toshiba news came out..bankrupt la like this... takpe..if your parents can afford to buy a 42" lcd tv for a student like u..i doubt that u will go bankrupt....

Yesterday I was at PC Fair browsing for a new printer, blank discs, and potentially cool stuff (booth babe LOL). Anyway, at the Toshiba booth, I was intrigued by the higher end Toshiba Qosmio laptops, which include a built-in HD DVD drive! They come in 2 variants; the HD DVD-ROM/DVD-RW drive or the HD DVD-R drive. Both models have an HDMI output so you can watch it on a big screen TV. Too bad I don't have an AV receiver that can do Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD
