There's quite a number of us with the add-on player including me. If you have a HDTV you'll definitely see an improvement in picture quality over normal DVD. Once you've experience HD movies, you'd never want to go back to normal DVDs thumbup.gif

As for the movies, most of us here buy them from amazon.com since it's much cheaper compared to getting them from local shops. There's one shop in Cineleisure and one in Bangsar Village that is selling those movies.

If it's RM 100 - RM 140 a pop at our local stores, how much would it be if we purchased from Amazon directly? plus shipping.

and what are the tacts to avoid our lovely customs?
*
For courier shipping add RM30-40 per title. As for kena tax, it depends on your luck really. My last two packages which consists of 6 and 9 titles respectively manage to avoid being taxed. I used DHL. Most people say that keeping the value of the package below RM500 can ensure that your package stays under the Custom's radar.

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!  biggrin.gif
*
At the moment there are no reagion locking for HD-DVD so any discs you purchase now can be played on all players.

What's the point of having HD-DVD if the movie night scene still full of noise?

What's the point of nitpicking at the worst aspect of a movie?

At the end of the day, HD-DVD are superior to normal DVD. Period.

Aye. Couldn't agree more.

While we're on the topic of HD-DVD, the Tosh HD-DVD players are starting to make their appearance here in this part of the world.

Arj, any models have popped up in Malaysia? Here in Hong Kong, Toshiba just launched their E1 model, retailing at HK$3,980. The XE1 should be here soon too.

Last time I checked there was none that you can get off the shelves. Need to order them from speciality AV shops. I guess the market for such items here are very very small sweat.gif

if i buy the Xbox 360 HD DVD player from US, will that power adapter able to use in Malaysia?
Since i will be in US in Auguest and some rumour said that the HD DVD player price might drop after the E3. Then it is definately a perfect time to get one.

The power adapter is universal, can be used both here and in the US.

Bro do let me know if you're serious about selling your Bluray collection. Jual harga kawan2 ye brows.gif

rx: RM69.90 is normal DVD, not HD-DVD tongue.gif

And that is the price you can get anywhere from Speedy Video to CWF in Cineleisure smile.gif

And I think 300 is quite a bad movie to show off HD-DVD because of the artsy fartsy style they used for the movie.

Hrmm..since this is my first foray into the HD-DVD forums, do you guys share shipment from Amazon?
*
I order stuff monthly from amazon. If you want anything lemme know early if not quota penuh laugh.gif

Prolly gonna order some stuff this week. Shipping is around RM25 each if we order 5-6 items.

Hmmmm..... to order or not to order the Heroes HD DVD boxset? hmm.gif
