hey guys, wanna ask about dvd regions.. what i noticed is that on amazon.com, the hd dvd 'Ray' was written as Region 1.. what i picked up from coldforged.org was "For HD-DVD movies, yes [the xbox 360 hd dvd player is region free] as are all HD-DVD players. For standard DVDs, no." so to confirm, if i were to buy that region 1 hd dvd, i should be able to play it on the player right? thanks guys!

QUOTE(terranova @ May 31 2007, 09:09 AM) It won't be small once prices starts falling with critical mass. Question is when. If the price is right the market is there. Recent example being LCD TVs when cost of panels bottomed out. Ppl are now talking about US$199 no-brand made-in-china standalone players. Of course, then there's the cost of the movies themselves. That one is trickier since the movie studios have a say. Ordered Ultimate Matrix. Arriving soon. can't wait to order the complete version..or if i can afford it, i'd buy the ultimate version. matrix in HD...orgasmic~  hahaha

i think that's the shop cos they're the only one that sells blu-ray and hd at cineleisure. bought my first title there, good service, friendly guy. But i still prefer buying from amazon cos even with the shipping rates included, it's still cheaper than buying from the shop + traveling costs (for me at least).

yea the trick is to limit ur shipments to less than RM 500...anything above would normally peak the kastams interest..

hmm..well as far as i've asked bro arj...he didn't have any problems with amazon shipments. maybe its luck, but i just try to limit the price. my first try was 2 dvds at 250++ and thank God no problems.
can we set that amazon declare them as gifts?

if u see tht amazon warns u about region 1 discs when ordering hd dvd, its probably cos ur ordering a combo hd, and the dvd side of it is region 1 coded. just some info for the uninitiated. silencer: 300 pq was ok to me. just finished watching extras...but i think forgot to set to 1080p b4 watching...shud get slightly crisper pic if set to 1080p b4 playing the movie. will be playing hot fuzz in a few minutes. cant wait to check out the 5/5 disc!!

QUOTE(zio @ Aug 20 2007, 12:57 PM) Just ordered Matrix Trilogy and Hot Fuzz. Probably drop by The Curve later and see if there is anything new. Anyone know is the Ultimate Avengers Movie was a Bluray exclusive? next on my list....matrix trilogy! well in a few more months i guess. silencer: yea 300 is supposed to be 'dirty' with grainy effects n whatnot, i personally like tht. oh and i watched hot fuzz n it was amazing! the colors!! the clarity!! the sound!!!!

QUOTE(arj @ Oct 17 2007, 12:18 PM) Yeah, the shipping cost just went up. I'm ordering from them soon. Now it cost around $5 more to ship 5 items using DHL  yeah..last time i checked it was still worth it to buy from amazon...but i lost track of the pricing here...if a 2-disc title now costs around RM 210 (plus shipping) ..what's the local shops' price ey? aiyo harga tol naik...minyak naik...now amazon also naik..

QUOTE(arj @ Oct 17 2007, 02:18 PM) If you order 1-2 items of course it'll be expensive. I'm ordering quite a few items and the price of Transformers with shipping is RM130 only. yea i agree..silly me for ordering it too fast. that's the problem with online ordering...i click faster than i think. (oh wow what an excuse) anyway bro arj, better just drop u a pm when there's a good title tht i want.

w00t! Harry Potter Box Set FTW!!!  hey arj, thanks a bunch man for the set. too bad there wasn't a special edition of the trilogy. at least give it in the red duffel bag, with fake cash and a fake gun...that would definitely give fans a heeuuggge bourne-r.
