Sifus, gurus
Can recommend a good blu ray player ?
Which 1 gives the best bang for the buck ?
Budget players any good ?

Only one - PS3. The cheapest and most upgradeable player. No such thing as a budget standalone bd player.

Got...buy from US, The Insignia Blu-ray player...only USD299, now come with USD100 gift voucher..so it's only USD199 (RM676 nia )

PlayStation 3. You will not regret it.

Thanks but I heard PS3 cannot take it if u play movies too much. Any truth in that ?

PS3 la bro

eh about that issue, i've been watching blu ray using ps3 since few months d (thanks to the poison in the blu ray thread) so far no problem

That's woth playing DVD. PS3 got no problem with BD

panasonice BD 30

i recommend PS3.

PANASONIC BD30 is a 5star rated BLURAY PLAYER by What Hi-Fi, UK magazine May 2008

Look PS3 more better with other features.

if i got hte moolah, i will stil get the bd 30

btw, i tot the bd30 can do internal decoding? kenot ar?

if can, use analog output to amp can liao rite?

Nope, cannot internal decoding, an amp with lossless audio decoding is needed. It's brother, BD50 can, but not yet released, said to be this month.

The analogue outs can send out lossless, but only PCM (only 5.1), not DTS-HD MA/Dolby TrueHD. If it can't decode them, how can it convert them to analogue.

exactly.. dint know PS3 is so good in playing blue ray. may consider getting it.

Sg can get for S$800 liao..

How much here ah???

You mean the PS3? Around RM1350.

sg still so exp huh?

But buying there you'll get proper warranty and stuffs. When Sony officially release here, it will be expenive too, I'm guessing around RM2k.

Why Sony Malaysia haven't launch it here still baffles me. They put it in their Sony Styles but with a card saying "Not For Sale, Demonstration Purposes Only".

Here are some complaints for ps3 =
