QUOTE(kianwee @ Feb 25 2008, 01:20 PM) Did you see any price in RM? Tell me... i sent an email to them. if i dun get my reply, i will call them tmr. i want to know the price and availability. but from the looks of it, this will definitely cost near to Rm800, still i think its worth it for what it offers. |

QUOTE(kianwee @ Feb 25 2008, 10:49 PM) But with that price, we can build a low end HTPC which can run on windows too. ATI chipset mobo comes with HDMI output IIANM. That is why I'm still deciding between these two options. the only thing i would matter is how the warranty going to be? Since i dont see any dealer for this product yet, meaning Palvision is the sole distributor for this item. and about HTPC, i wouldnt mind taking this popcorn for a change, maybe because i am lazy for it. but if price exceeding RM1k, i will hardly consider.. QUOTE(junkieG @ Feb 26 2008, 04:51 AM) okie lets chill out about the price and conversion for a while shall we gentlement? consider popcorn as one stop solution while for pc enthusiast, they would rather build from scratch. imho, if u need a pc to act as HTPC with less then 800 buxx budget, i wouldnt suggest that simply because, its aint kewl and portable as this popcorn!...just look at the size of the popcorn versus icute casing...but ermmm if ur talking bout buying sum shuttle pc then thats another story la kan? hehehe okok, maybe abit mod to da popcorn casing would be nice. on the second thought the popcorn does look cheap especially when u put aside with PS3 for example. Perhaps cut the casing on top and put some plexi glass with UV ccfl inside will do some justice...LOL sorry off topic C'mon slaxe, do give em a call for us tomorrow. I would if um in m'sia right now. I just love watching anything with MKV format which is worth downloading. imho of course.... cheers! i cant even get a retail price from the Palvision  |

moogle... the one available in malaysia doesnt have the model that support MKV. however if you see what kianwee stated previously, they have that model 6500. and ideatools.com.my is malaysian company that is bring in the media player.
no doubt rmvb is sucky format, but all tvb drama are using that format... and i hate converting it. some tvb is in avi, but malas la.. file so big... |

QUOTE(rendude @ Feb 28 2008, 10:28 AM) IMO someone should try at least to ask LYN forumers about possible bulk...if got support...sure can get around USD200 for this model. the problem is... the price is not known yet... at least pun know the price before initiate a bulk purchase? at least there is rough idea of how much the price can be reduce... |

okay.. i didnt get any firm price from palvision but he told me the price will not exceed 1k. most probably at rm900-999.
i shall wait for a confirm pricing and see if bulk purchases can do anything to reduct the price. |

QUOTE(andyz @ Mar 6 2008, 12:28 AM) i have setup and sold a lot of 4100 and 5100 dvico units with latest firmware to play mkv support ... (with 750gb to 1tb harddrives installed) but the price also wow rite? dvico has better options compare with popcornhour, hences justify the pricetag. Popcornhour is mainly for streaming purpose instead.so i have a lot of experience with this player (even the sarotech and older dvico 4000 series) and all i can tell u guys the 4100 and 5100 series is wow man ..... played matrix 1080p (12gb download) transformers 720p 300 720p predator 1080p (8gb download) Sports illustrated 720p no country for no men 720p the player does not even slow down at all when displaying these picture in all its glory .... the beauty is i am also enjoying lost current season 4 at highest quality mkv format .... and other shows... i can't wait to get my hands on the dvico 6500 .. that will be totally perfect ... |

ii went to c-zone yesterday and check. 4100 and 5100 is priced at RM1.5k and RM1.8k respectively. While there is some old ones priced lesser (RM599-899) and support PATA. i somehow still looking into this popcorn, as i think its quality is on par with Dvico except some limited function.
