clothing from Abercrombie.com is not that heavy

of a nearly RM1,000 purchase - charged nearly RM200. FedEx paid for me. I paid the fedex guy at my door step.

if the tax is inclusive of shipping then - need not worry - use Maybank American Express Global E-shope service. Get them to charge the shipping fee on your American Express card.

I think i want to try that one out. more choices of online retailer - cheaper - product and shipping price oso

Better wait for BD50 since it will be out pretty soon.

Most new players now can bitstream HBR audio. So the most worrying thing is the disc loading time. If they can even match PS3's, then I will be seriously consider a standalone. But then, I only will buy it it costs lower than RM2k.

PS: How can RM2030 is cheaper than PS3?

Yeah I'm waiting for BD50. Not because I want to buy it but was hoping the price of BD30 goes down a bit when BD50 come out
Anyway, I set my mind on BD30 already unless Sony suddenly come out with firmware for S350 that can do full bitstream and not just core only.

g5sim, 1kg is 40 or 18?

Express Delivery = $40
Standard Delivery = $18

the first price is Express followed by Standard. Ex colleague tried standard (bought HTPC casing) said Standard enuf liau. But he bought casing , and we are talking about BD player. Anyhow the express delivery is still cheaper than bhphotos' shipping charges

oh btw - they also clear the custom for you and charge on your American Express card (maybe need to add note on order) i forgot - maybe automatic

Any of u fellas here using PS3 for BD movies? I'm thinking of getting it but my PS2 was a really lame DVD player so I'm worried that the PS3 BD player is just as lame.

loading wise - its the best of all bd players

if want to compare pq or aq. dun lah - PS3 = software player - standalone players - hardware player

What I mean is that the PS2 was extremely sensitive. Some DVD can load, sum cannot load, scratched DVD oso cannot read, that kinda thing. I had to go buy a buffalo DVD player in the end. PS3 good at loading all BDs?

why lar wanna buy a PS3 for dvd playing?

thanks for the explaination g5sim... argh... and i hate u

U misunderstood my Q oredi. I asked if the PS3 is good for BD as in loading all kinda BDs including scratched n slightly warped discs kinda thing. Last time PS2 was extremely sensitive, all DVD had to b in pristine condition or it wont load. Sumtimes even pristine DVDs cudn load.

i forgot - you own a PS3

ianho, sorry, as u compare to ps2 as DVD playing

no issues, all my BDs till now still play ok, BDs have an extra layer of protection to it

I think 90% of BD supporters here uses PS3 as the player. At least for now.

I will be under the other 10% group then
Will buy PS3 also later for the kids when time comes. My son already nag me for a PS3

I am going to test Sammy BDP1400 tonight Review unit from Sammy

Make sure you have a stopwatch to get the disc loading time and report here.

Hello,

I've been around these threads for some time now but have not posted before.

Some of you would know me since I purchased some BDs from you.

Panasonic BD50 just got reviewed. Looks good. Not sure when it will hit Malaysia or how much..
