eh,..... no you ah?

At the mean time, PS3 serves me well as a BDP.

Yalor, what a waste, got good DACs but can't support DVDA and SACD formats pulak. If possible, HDCD format should also be included to make it an ultimate all in one player.

Just read this at Blu-Ray.com

Review of Transformers BD.

Anyone with Panny BD-30 that can confirm this when they get their TF BD?

Heard Sony will reduce their BD player for 100 after Sept..maybe worthwhile to wait..

Only 100? If 1k than worth the wait la

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.

correction..from their retail of 399 to 299 for S350...

Sorry, taikor. THe BD30 aint meant for demo purpose . Maybe can ask another user of BD30 here, who got it from me.

Transformer BD got already locally? I have BD30 but no blu-ray at the moment so still 'virgin' Yes anyone got try it on Transformer?

Maybe someone can pinjam you his copy to try. Any volunteers?

ah u r talking USD not RM
My bad

Anyway I don't think S350 will be less than RM2k when its here

I worry it's around RM3K when it is officially launched here.

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

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.

It took quite a while for China made DVD players to start flooding the market. I think it was like 6-7 years AFTER the introduction of DVD format then only China made players were available. So it might take a while for them to follow suit with BD Players too. So in the mean time, us early adopters pay for the premium.

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.

Dude...I want 5 units. One in each bedroom
