Maybe those consumers don't believe in online shopping gua, that's why they're not aware that they're paying at least two times more for a BD.

Har..... pretty girls? Sure boh? One day I take you to Speedy Penang, then you'll think twice.

Apalah you ..... I did reply your sms, you didn't say go out for TT session mah. If you want me to take you go night club also no problem, but if your wife tarik your telinga, then dun blame me lah.

Wll, even though we can only listen to the DTS-Core track but ID4 on BD is many times better than the normal Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack on the standard dvd release. Better than nothing lah.

I wonder when will MIB2 be released. They should release them sekali mah. I'm still waiting for Bad Boys 1 & 2 and Wild Wild West too.

The force is strong in you.

Maybe Pop is one of the shareholders in Amazon. He's giving us first hand info.

Organize BD session? Definitely not in PG ler ....... very few BD kakis here, mostly are still loyal with DVD.

Just the food here? Other things not interested meh?

I worry need to wait till end of the year, Christmas sale. Of course, I hope it will be earlier.

That one I won't deny lah, Penang is the only state in Malaysia with the most pirated genuine D9 dvds, during festive holidays, scores of KL ppl are always in Penang to shop for these babies because you can't find such dvds in KL anymore, mostly those fake D5 titles with a D9 sticker.

If your old AVR has HDMI and supports PCM5.1, then there's a big improvement but if it's an old AVR, you'll only get either DD 5.1 (640kbps) or DTS 1.5 (1.5mbps), if for PCM and Dolby TrueHD tracks, you'll only get stereo sound if it's output via optical. Of course, still better than standard dvds lah, that one no need to say.

I second that, the best place to shop is Amazon and even Play-Asia is still expensive if compared to Amazon but Play-Asia is more for buying Asian movies on BDs.

Well, I tumpang order a couple of times with various BD taukehs here, customs won't be an issue because we got lobang to ensure the safe arrival of our movies.

Well, AVR-2808 sounds better than the competition. The only weakness is the DCDi deinterlacing and upscaling feature which still have room for improvement. Yamaha's RX-V1800 / RX-V3800's Anchor Bay upscaling chip works fine but the deinterlacing performance is poor as it's using the i-Chip solution, they're not using Anchor Bay's deinterlacing chip. I think to cut cost gua. But as long as you're feeding it with 480p analogue signals, that shouldn't be a problem except for our Astro.

I think Megatron will buy AVR-2808, must poison him more.


Ehh ...... not 1800 ler .......... it's 2808 .......

Megatron, you must buy 2808 then a copy of Coyote Ugly BD. The prophecy will be complete.

Good morning RX

Finally, it's coming. Waited ages for this.

Precisely, I'm also looking forward to this experience. I got a bunch of Fox BDs with DTS-MA.

We're Band Of Brothers mah.

AVP2 got 2 disc b'coz the second disc is a digital copy disc for you to transfer the whole movie to your iPod or PSP but in SD resolution aje. That's how they thank you for buying and supporting a crappy movie. According to the reviews, the PQ and AQ are pretty good, just that the storyline ......

So everything on the left will look smaller?

Ehh ..... dun pretend to ask ask lah ....... I know you like Coyote Ugly one.

Yikes ....... Bro Aiman got veli good memory ...... yeah ...... yeah ...... I admit, I look forward to buy Coyote Ugly more than Twister.

Wah lau ...... the packing look like those pirate dvds. Not professional leh. How much did you pay for it? Cheaper than Amazon?

Mimi is 37 years old and Shakira is 30 years old ....... hmm ........ who should I buy leh? Now still deciding. If buy both ..... mampus.

Taukeh BD just received his Starship Troopers BD. Jealous betul. If he told me earlier, I also wanna tumpang but for now, I can only hope that he'll sell it to me later.

Talking about Infernal Affairs, I wanted to buy it also but Play-Asia tak ada, Amazon pun tak ada. If they keluar Infernal Affairs 1, 2, 3 altogether on BD lagi baik lah, like the dvd version, all the three parts are integrated together.

I have to agree that the packaging is terrible but at RM80, the price is okay lah, slightly cheaper than Amazon. Well, i-Robot certainly looks amazing, I haven't bought my own copy yet, just managed to watch it briefly at my friend's place. Well, got tons of titles in my wish list but have to buy them slowly because of this ......

Seems like Amazon has a buy 2 get 1 free promotion right now.

Yalor, a very shortlived product just like the Sega Dreamast console, lasted 2 years plus aje.

Err ..... I'm not too sure, I only tahu it can be transferred to PSP (obviously), Zune and iPod. Perhaps others might know whether can or not. I'll be happier if they included a WMV HD version so that we can play it on a pc.

Not buying any BDs even got BOGO?

Yalor ...... Fox titles are mostly around USD27.95, itu pun if you buy from Amazon, other places are selling around USD30 plus. Of course, certain less panas Fox titles like Flyboys, Chain Reaction, etc have reduced to USD17.95.

Don't merajuk lah ...... by then, you'll probably buy a high end blu-ray player, I'm sure such players will be dirt cheap in the future. I still prefer our PS3 to bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-MA instead of decoding them internally but obviously, that's not possible.

Some good movies are also being sold at a cheap price too, it's subjective lah.

Apa victim pulak ...... I bought your HD-DVD add on and happily enjoying it. Bought over 50 HD-DVD titles (both new and used). Going to get Toshiba A35 soon, asking my friend to bring one back from US.

A30 ar ...... I dunno lah, must ask my friend and see, I seriously doubt he has the luggage space for another player. I'm asking him to remove the box and everything, just the player, remote, cables and manual will do.

That's my new Bravia but the model next to it is a bit too slim ler ...... Sony didn't give her enough salary I guess.

Nope, I won't jiak b'coz I'm not a tong sampah mah, need to be selective one.

Yup, here's the link plus a video to watch,

I wonder how big is the v2.3 firmware update. Yeah, Sony engineers did mention something like 1080 deinterlacing, is that included in the new firmware update or the future one? I dunno what they meant by that, the PS3 will deinterlace 1080i BD movies to 1080p, like the Celine Dion concert?

Ehh ....... if Bro Arj getting 2808, YAB Megatron should also get 2808 too, baru balance mah.

My version for joke of the day,

Firmware v2.40,

VCD and SVCD playback on PS3 = State-Of-The-Art

Well, I believe you can afford 2808 la ........ the most dun buy BDs for half year aje.

Some say Mono too.

The PS3 actually lacks hardware to bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA but not sure whether it can be done via software. Anyway, I'm still waiting for those upcoming Sony Profile 2.0 blu-ray players, if the price is right and the performance is as good as PS3 or better (in terms of responsiveness), I guess I'll probably get one but sad to know, only a few brands are making blu-ray players.

I guess the current trend nowadays is 50GB for the movie and 25GB for the special features, there are a number of movies with 2 BDs out there. Hopefully, they can increase the size of BD without the need to change to newer hardware.

Not Pensonic, Khind, Cornell, Elba, Mistrall, etc .........

Taukeh BD has a very impressive collection, my whole collection for BDs and HD-DVDs are as below aje, hai ........ I'm slowly building up my collection, have tons of original dvds to sell and replace. That's the consequences of getting HD poison, pocket pun got more holes liao.
