I read somewhere that the BD-55, BD-35 can actually output in 1080p/24Hz for DVD...Can the person who bought Corez's BD-55 confirm this. I read that you have to force the output to 24Hz for each disc and it is not automatic. If it has this function, then it would be great...One way to check it would be to hook it up to an AVR and check to see what the AVR is receiving.

Now just need to wait for Malaysia release....or maybe modded unit...anyone bulking?

Currently only BD30 is selling and BD 50 is coming soon. For modded unit it is priced at £475 not including shipping

We're in agreement to not sell the PS3, and use it for HD entertainment center/gaming only. I will buy a dedicated standalone player for BD movies. The only thing is I have to find alternative fund for it, that will possibily mean my year end bonus.

i am waiting and see if there's any sales coming up in the next few weeks before i place the order for this. there's still a price diff btwn the BD35 and S350...sony being the cheaper of the 2. but the prospect of the front SDHC vs the rear USB, i prefer the front thing.
oh yeah, i'll be getting the region B version.
hey piscesguy.....can you please let me know if the power cord on your BD55 is detachable or not? not one of those integrated into the unit, right?

I can tell you that it is the detachable one. But the shape a bit weird. Square on one end, and round on the other end.

Probably due to US unit, which explains the wierdo cord.
