I thought you meant an online retailer. Everybody knows eBay, and we all know we won't get the best price all the time. Usually the cheapest is around RM70-80. RM40-50 is very rare, and usually only low-rated titles. Even that link you provided will cost RM60 already.

Another thing, be careful when buying BDs from UK, make sure it's region free before buying.

Not sure bout cheap or not cheap
I changed my M1000 at midnight.
The next day I came back fr work.
My wife told me that 'tv is 'brighter' today' smile.gif
Ha ha then i laughed, she didn't know that it was actually d contrast and colour getting better.
Anyway, this is price Vs performance & affordability issue. Very much up to personal preference and different taste of life.
Like bread and butter; AVR and quality interconnects.

Guys, read through the pages of this thread. It has been discussed many, many times in this thread, and many other threads. Even in the Audiophilia Objective thread. HDMI is digital. Signal sent is in binary numbers of 0 and 1. Picture or audio quality will not be affected, either you get the signal or not. That's all. The only thing to look for is the physical built quality, durablility, etc.

If we're talking about analogue cables, then yes, different cable could actually bring some difference. What's still debatable is how much improvements each analogue cable can bring versus the price you pay.

You guys are taking advice from cable manufacturers/sellers. They wanna sell their cables! laugh.gif

Fine, in the end it's your money and your eyes/ears. If you can see/hear the difference, good for you. notworthy.gif

Dont think what the manufacturers claim is wrong, if that the case they would get themselves in litigation for wrong representations in US.

Btw I have one excess FOC 'Pioneer' HDMI 1.5m cable now

Check my sig, I will buy the highest end stuff I can afford, and I'm still eager to upgrade. I'm willing to spend more on analogue cables, interconnects and speakers cables. But nope, sorry, not gonna waste on digital cables.

Search and research smartly, don't take everything the salesman telling you.

Like I always say, in the end you'll be the one spending the money. Other than the internet, search and research hands-on where you can see and hear. We're here just to share knowledge and experience.
