Just a random question... Do you guys buy the original Blu-ray discs? Or will the pasar malam ones play as good as the original ones? I'm planning to buy an LCD TV that comes with a Blu-ray player. I'm not sure if I want that player!

Let me know, thanks!

The pasar malam RM10/pc is actually DVD. BD is the way to go 

Actually thats what I expected. I expected not to see any PQ differences but I was seeing quite a bit of differences. I compared U571 (BD25 original and "local") and also another title I forget. The difference was noticeable.

Not too sure. But the same with DVDs, I have seen clear differences between R1/R2 DVDs compared to our R3s and our local rips (RM10) stuff.

From my experience. TRUE.

I learn from someone that it is the pressing machine and process that burn the data onto the disc that makes the difference. All local DVD R3 here are manufactured by Speedy/HVN something like that. The R1/R2 are made in USA or Europe. The difference of R3 from R1 and R2 is noticeable.
That is why audiophile CD made in malaysia are hard to get. And that also explains why pirated DVD will NEVER reach 100% quality of the original.
I believe in this because I can see and hear the difference. I would rather pay RM50 for an ori DVD than a pirated BD25 movie. It's your choice...

So the way I see it, those who are now offloading their brand new BD60 players may likely be doing so more on the basis that BD software are still not cheaply available in MY and would like to stick to DVD.

If you're willing to spend a few hundred more and don't mind buying online, get the Pioneer BDP-320. I've tested it along with the Panasonc BD60 and Samsung BD-P1600 and the Pioneer is the clear winner in terms of AQ and PQ

BDs. I dunno, maybe it's because they were not calibrated individually but out of the box, the Pioneer comes out tops

I thought vpost is for singaporean only? Coz I tried to register it ask for singaporean IC ...

I applied the firmware (software) hack. My hardware hack will arrive early July.

jchong,

Prefer the hardware mod since using the firmware hack, I need to wait for someone over in the UK to mod each firmware that comes after this. For instance, Oppo just released a new firmware yesterday, if I update the firmware, my region free mod will not work. The hardware solution should not be susceptible to firmware updates.

PS3 is the best..

any other BDplayer besides bd60 to recommend? same price range pls

BDP320 is out of question...lol

PS: those that can buy at malaysia, and not from amazon one

eventually bluray players would be dvd players at around RM200.

Yeah, agreed. Kind of frustrating when you pay for your BD, then someone just take it and rip to their collection for free. I don't mine to let them borrow a day or 2 to watch, but when they rip it and own it it seems unfair.

And even though those illegal downloads have nothing to do with my own BDs, it's still unfair to us in general. So piracy not only affect the studios, but us as well who pays for original.

Bring parents out or in laws for makan = 20 BDs gone. Can afford to eat, cannot afford to buy BD?

one mean at fatty crab eating snow crab easily cost 5k and above la.... what's the surprise. one crab 2.5k u eat before?

there is hardware hack available for panasonic and sony and samsung bd player also. in case everyone has forgotten about it.

i guess there are too many panny bdp users here

BDP via HDMI to AVR & another HDMI from AVR to LCD TV..... no issues with PS3... tried swapping HDMI cables with same results...
