Just read this at Blu-Ray.com

Review of Transformers BD.

Transformers BD Review at Blu-ray.com
Anyone with Panny BD-30 that can confirm this when they get their TF BD? smile.gif

Maybe it doesn't apply to the BD-30 models selling here as we're using a different firmware than the models sold overseas. Well, we can ask Htkaki to try and let us know the outcome.

When the good, proper and brand BD player will  be below $1.5K... doh.gif  doh.gif .(not mention PS3 la)....all still expensive.... shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif

Perhaps we need those China made BD players to flood the market first, then those branded players will be priced more reasonably. Some competition is good anyway. I'm waiting for that to happen.

Unfortunately, not anytime soon to see China made players to be available to the mass market.

If for the US, the China made BD players will arrive first quarter of next year at around USD299 (SRP) but of course, might be cheaper. Not sure about Malaysia. Yup, might take a while when we finally see that from happening.

USD299 X 3.4 = RM1,016.60. Still aint cheap for a China made BDP for the masses here.

I bet they (masses) would only jump into BD bandwagon if it dips below RM500 and the software are easily 'available' at 'affordable price' (pandai-pandailah)
*
For Malaysia, even a BD player is RM399, I think ppl won't buy it unless the BD software is RM5 per title but then, people can buy a BD player to play jack sparrow dvds or cds though.

Someone selling Samsung BD-P1400 in garage sales for RM1250. That's a better player. Can decode all except DTS-MA but still at least it can bitstream DTS-MA. Too bad its only profile 1.0
*
But that Samsung model is not 100% compatible with all BD titles especially those with extensive Java menus.

That's why I don't want to buy laugh.gif
I want to wait for year end la bro. I bet the christmas price will be good. So that will be the time I make good use of my AMEX biggrin.gif
Don't want to rush things again like I did with my LCD. It's a good LCD and I love it but 2 months after I bought it, the price drop RM500. Then a few months later new model came out and W series full HD now same price with my LCD when I bought it doh.gif
All those happen less than a year vmad.gif  laugh.gif

Yalor, Samsung has nice design but poor playback capabilities. The firmware updates can't even solve these problems. Hai ....... rclxub.gif
