Has anyone actually feedback in this forum about receiving imported electronics (ebay, etc)? Tax experience, etc.?

tax shud be ard 30%

Latest update on the dude who got upgraded to A30 from an A3. The seller will be refunding him US$38 because the shipping cost is much lower. That means he's getting the A30 and 4 movies for under RM700!!

incl shippin or not arj?
he wanna sell his A3?

Yup, with shipping. Got upgraded to A30 so won't be getting the A3

Freaking cheap

It's a very good deal at this price since the A30 is a better player than A3.

any more of this deal? can get us the seller ID or not? me also want

I don't think getting the same deal again is possible because originally it is for an A3. The seller does not have it in stock and was willing to upgrade it to an A30 for a little bit more money.


You might be able to get this one for a very good price. It's a used unit though.

Toshiba to exit HD DVD, end format war-NHK

NHK - Toshiba plans to withdraw from HD-DVD production

the last two links kinda concludes the fate of HD-DVD

Seems like Toshiba is giving up on HD-DVD and they will lose millions of dollars by doing so. It's a double blow for Toshiba, firstly SED TV and now, HD-DVD. Surprisingly, Blu-Ray unofficially won the format war given Sony's past track record on their own proprietary formats, betamax, minidisc, umd, memory stick, etc ....... luck is really on their side this time especially with their blu-ray format.

Anyway, hd-dvd's lifespan is surprisingly short, even the laserdisc format lasted a while before it was phased out for good.

so wat now?
g5sim jumping wagon?

i oso want jumping wagon

Well I dont simply say that HD DVD is dead without firm sources of news. By letting Bluray winning at this stage is no good either. I am sad that the competition has not provided benefits to consumers like us at this stage. I guess the issue of piracy is slowing the growth of hd lah.
