Don't forget that Sony invested millions in BD technology, excluding money to rasuah movie studios and also those adverts, they have to find a way to cover their costs. If their BD player with profile 2.0 can be priced around RM2K in Bolehland, I can still accept it but if they're asking RM4K for one strip down version BD player, I rather use my PS3 instead.

i doubt we will see 2.0 Sony players at >RM4K. why? CEs know Blu-ray will not take off in bolehland. So might as well as get more money from the rich Even toshiba E2 is still selling at RM2,499

Well, we have to wait until those Cap Ayam players from China to spoil the market then Sony plus other brands will start lowering their prices. That's the only way. I find it silly when blu-ray players are dirt cheap in the US whereas in Malaysia, the cheaper player is from Sharp at RM2,999. Of course, I know those who got 'kang tau' can get it for RM1,900 and the Sony S300 at RM2,800 instead of RM3,999.

The Toshiba E2 is only RM1,800 if you order it outside, don't look at the price from Normal Harvey, those are existing stocks, they're not willing to sell below cost. Toshiba Malaysia is clearing them and still giving 3 HD-DVD titles and Berjaya HVN are now selling RM69.90 for each HD-DVD ttile but very limited titles left. I just bought a few. The latest one is Evan Almighty I guess. Can't find any newer titles.

so conclusion u going to wait until?


PS3 upgrade firmware soon to profile 2.0 liao


so anjua??

me ps3? nevah! my nick on other tech forums is xboxboi lol

i suggest PS3 to people who are into console gaming who also wants Blu-ray.

so waiting for lulian fall BD player?

Aiyah, just get a PS3 lah, some PS3 games are starting to look better than XBOX 360 and besides that, XBOX 360 will never have a blu-ray drive b'coz of Sony, they wouldn't be donating $$$ to Sony for the blu-ray drive b'coz of the royalties thingy.

I do miss HD-DVD to be honest, it's a good format and I'm currently sapu-ing some titles from Amazon since it's kinda cheap now. Can't complain lah, at least in the US alone, there are around 585 HD-DVD titles to choose from, I guess that's way more than the LD titles back then. With the US dollar going down and Amazon slashing prices of HD-DVD titles, it's a good buy now.

mang pon!

any how anybody want to get HD DVD players and current BD players on the cheap from US online retailers, try this: Maybank Amex
