Interesting.

Thanks for the heads up bro.

But now my HM is not letting me sell it. That was a preliminary proposal, will talk further tonight.

Added on December 12, 2008, 3:06 pmMy old TV doesn't support 24p playback bro. So, can't test that. The TV is next in my upgrade list.

Haven't tested on DVDs, I don't intend to. I plan to use it as a dedicated BD player only. Already got another DVD player. But yes, it's region locked. You can buy the mod kit to make it region free for both BD and DVD for 88 euro.

RM800? For you I can give RM200.

Just to share some info...

Went over to Amcorp over lunch and saw that 'TBM' having some warehouse sales there at the concourse area, they have the Pana BD-30@RM1399, Samsung 1400@RM1k and the Sharp BD20A@RM1299....

quite old models though...

They have some LCD /plasma TVs and some HTiBs on sale as well- i think mostly older models, but did not have the time to browse thru as was rushing back to office...

aiman...there's some code you can use on those universal remote controllers to break the code for the DVD playback (only) for that BD35......then again, if you wont be using it for DVD...i guess no point.

As fas as I am concerned, YB is the max level liao (no pun intended, YB)




Yes, old models, which every shops are trying to clear asap

aiman, that BD35 doesnt have voltage selector, right?

i am pretty much set on that model as well.....but now have to think if i should get it from UK or US...there is quite a bit of price difference.

just emailed those fella in Stockholm about those mod kits. need to check how much is shipping and/or if they'll mod my unit if i bring them the unit.

Hi aiman,

Can you share with me the dimension of this player? Will be going to the States next month and wonder if it is convenient to carry this unit back by hand?

Thanks

Nevermind. Over 16-inch width means it will not fit into my carry-on bag easily.

Really ar? Only with the universal remotes, such as the Harmony's?

Even I don't use for DVD, still nice to have it region free.

That offer is BD55 which is $100 more expensive, not BD35. Was considering that, but then I don't need the analogue outs on BD55. And even with the $100 discount it's still out of my budget because of the BD movies which I already have. BD35 is just perfect for me.

No, it doesn't. I bought a 100W stepdown transformer to get 120V. Only paid RM68 for it. And you also might have to buy an SD card for BD-Live, a cheap 1GB will do.

I checked their website, the mod kit alone is €69 with another €19 for shipping worldwide. But with this mod kit, you have to open the player, and solder the chips yourself. For BD35, there's up to 10 soldering to be done. So you'll need some soldering skill too.

The modded player they're selling for €499 which is really expensive for me. So, the best way is to buy from US and install the mod kit ourselves. If you really want to mod lah.

The box dimension is 21x15x8 inches. You can just check-in the player's box itself, it's really light, around 4 kg (non-volumetric weight). The customs could just let you walk. Even if taxed, only 10% for electronic items which is less than RM100. That's still very cheap considering you don't have to pay for shipping.

I can give you my account number, but I'm in the process of changing my mobile number and move to a new house. This is the best time to FFK.

We only buddies whenever we can take advantage of each other.

Only one Aiman lah, he was born in 2004.

PS: A little tease:

bloody aiman, pijak me

Eh, no la bro. Just kidding, we're always buddies what.

Hi sifus, i was wondering on the pioneer LX51. I was at HNorman and the fella was offreing the player at 2199 with a free HDMI cable. It also allowed for interest free payment too. Shall I? very tempted.

Or I may just upgrade my current DVD player to a better one.

Thanks

aiman, yes, universal remote like Harmony and URC....google for it...its on some forum..avforums if not mistaken.

the mod kit retailer in Stockholm will do the mod job as well...for SEK1195...that is about RM450....but first I need to get the UK BD35 first, for the right voltage. then i might consider sending/bringing it to STO to be modded.

from the picture you posted, the PS3 is on top of the DVD player and the BD player? wouldnt that be a bit of load on the bd player?

wow aiman...

a sony completist

I truly envy taukeh aiman..nice chap..geram plak tgk BD35 tu... (*peeking inside wallet*....mmm)

I see.. Actually the PS3 is at the back standing directly on the table. The only thing on the BDP is the DVDP, which very light.



How you come to that conclusion? The PS3 and the DVDP are the only two Sony in my home. Everything else in my entire home is from other brands.

Go for it bro.

However, the PS3 is still one of the best. It's just that I've always want a standalone BDP since day one. But none of them at that time can rival the PS3 in almost everything. But now, with BD35, I can finally get my standalone player that can rival the PS3, and even wins over in some ways.
