actually amazon UK only ship within UK for these sort of stuffs...so the VAT still applies...and yes for those BD i got from UK, the VAT still applies..in fact UK's VAT is lower than many other EU countries..so they will have to top up the VAT when I order..

as for the mod chip...have not decided on that yet...havent found anyone willing to do this around here...the nearest is the mod chip distributor in stockholm..but have to find time to go there....or ship it there....see how it goes.

You're using a Vpost like service to re-ship to you? For this holiday season Amazon is having a special offer, only 15%. Usually it's 17.5%.

I'm also considering the mod kit from Bluraymods.com, but I have to install it myself, need to improve my soldering skill first.


BD30, I almost get that one. It's a great player bro.

Owners, please add your name.

i am in taipei now, will scout around for BR players. If cheap will get one.

if i am not mistaken..the 15% is not just for the holiday season....UK announced lowering their VAT....and it took effect almost immediately.

no i didnt find service like vpost around here.....but i do have co-workers coming over from UK regularly....so might as well hitch a ride..hehe

on the blu ray mod site..it said modification for bd35 is relatively simple...check out what it says for sony's machine...hehehe

as mentioned earlier....the mod kit from sto is SEK649.....SEK11XX to get the mod kit PLUS work....SEK1100 is abt RM450.

not in a hurry to do this yet..as this BD35 is region B and my PS3 is region A...think i am pretty well covered for now.

Really ar? Well, for us outside EU, the price will always be the same. It's imposed based the original price, so when the VAT changes, only the price with VAT will change. We always pay the original price.

Me also not in hurry to mod, my BDs are mostly from US anyway, and I only purchase region free titles only from UK. For DVDs, I have separate player for it.

Aiman,

I believe after your poison, Amazon received many orders from Malaysia. They are now out of stock from Amazon and only available from resellers, and the price is much higher now!

shud have ask my wife borught one back

I see it still says "in stock" at Amazon US. But yes, the price has gone up to $279!!

She's back already ar? No wonder now you have more time posting here.

Just get a PS3 bro.. you can even watch videos from your pendrive , play games. Price also cheaper

price also cheaper compared to what?

How abt THE L.Y.N SONY BDP CLUB? any member ?

bd 30 here..

amazon just had to spite me by dropping the price another £10 the day after i ordered mine....price was standing still for almost 2 weeks

PS3 is cheaper compared to other blu-ray players... also in terms of bang-for-buck, it is a better deal since u have many other functions on the ps3

well...most here has a PS3......

for the record...standalone nowadays are cheaper than PS3.....maybe this is only true for outside of Msia...

the only thing i dont like about ps3 for BD playing - too noisy when the fan comes on. it gets hot!

indeed.. the fan on my PS3 has been loud from day 1...it is operating normally....when the fan kicks in...sitting approx 4 m away from ps3, the fan is more noticeable than the fan in my pj which is abt 0.5m away from the sitting position.

Latest update is $249.95.
It's a third party seller, but can make use of Amazon's Free Shipping

It seems like Amazon is depending on third seller's price
the price fluctuates on and off

Bro, this is already page 32 of this thread. PS3 has been discussed many, many times already. We all know about PS3.

I own a PS3 since September 2007. But now I bought a standalone player as well. Why? There must be reasons, right? Check back through the pages for the answer.

Added on December 18, 2008, 8:35 pmThat's normal if you're used to Amazon's pricing. We have been looking the site very closely to make sure we don't miss the lowest price for BDs. It's like stock exchange.

aiman...maybe we should apply same effort on the stock market..at least there's some chance to make some money.......paying attention to amazon seems to be have a negative effect on financial standings....

apologies if i have made the rash assumptions that you have not applied the same on stock market
