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:

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

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.

Still buddy la bro, you're actually in my LYN buddy list.

I've decided no to sell the PS3 though. I know you alrady have one.


Yup, below is the Panasonic BD35.

RX, buy a lot of BDs now and use free delivery to your wife. British pound is low now, get the most you can. But yeah, purchases within EU the VAT will be applied though.

Better don't change the GBP to RM yet, wait until it goes back up.

Yeah, I forgot, I know what he's more focused to now. He used to be a BD collector long time ago.

Spent the weekend comparing the BD35 with the PS3. Everything the same, all settings, cables, were the same.

Seriously, the BD35 gives better PQ than the PS3. I can immediately see the difference in PQ. To me the BD35 gives better colors and sharper picture, and the grain is somewhat more noticeable.

For AQ, no difference for PCM tracks or if decoding the DTS-HD MA/Dolby TrueHD internally. But when bitstream the DTS-HD MA/Dolby TrueHD to my Onkyo 875, there is some improvement, the sound stage is like more opened up and has real weight. It's minimal, but still noticeable.

The loading time/responsiveness is still slower than the PS3, but still acceptable (check the benchmark table posted earlier). Plus, the BD35 is really quiet. For PS3 owners, this will be very noticeable.

Yup, noticed that VAT reduction. The VAT for boxsets will cost more than the cost to ship back to Malaysia. If buying from here the price will be the same no matter how much the VAT, because the VAT is imposed on the original price.

She's coming back for good? Make sure your house is "clean" first.

After 3-4 weeks RX will be lonely again. Or, are you already starting to get used to being "lonely" now?

When is this player coming to Malaysia? I hope not soon, let me enjoy this by myself first.

Well, don't get too used to it bro. I'm sure within a few days she's home, you don't want to be back alone again.

Don't like that la bro. Maybe she's bringing back a BD35 as a X'mas gift.

Wow! Congratulations!

Poison is good, don't be afraid bro. Take it.

Updated. Welcome!

If you ship to EU address, the VAT will not be exempted. But if you live and earn in EU, the price is still reasonable I guess.

Again, rthj, congratulations on your new player, very quick delivery. I guess you'll be installing the mod kit?

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.

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.

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.

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.

List updated. Welcome Gatevalve!

BD players are now considered cheap what. Can get below RM1.5k, even the Malaysia edition PS3 is only RM1599.

People say we should spend 10% of our budget for cables, but some elites maybe spent 30% already.

List updated. Any Pioneer BDP owners here? Sharp?

IIRC, rx330 owns a Sharp BDP.

Who's that?

Added on December 19, 2008, 10:00 pmThe seller at Amazon that I bought my BD35 from has now increased the price to $299. Lucky I bought it at the right time.
