For the first time ever, these words on my receiver finally lights up.

Anfieldude, bitstream rocks! The audio actually feels crispier and adds more weight to it, like the sound stage opened up a bit. And picture seems to have better blacks and sharper than the PS3. It may all just be placebo, but what the heck, I'm enjoying this.
Apisgogo and Htkaki, don't wait anymore. Get yours quick!
Glau, I got it for US$222 from Amazon with free super-saver shipping to Apisgogo's USA re-shipping address. They re-shipped to me using DHL, the charge is lower than DHL's online price. You can ask Apisgogo for the re-shipping quotes.
Piscesguy, I don't have a good analogue cables to test that yet, not interested to use the cap ayam one that came with the player.
Rthj, yes, free 2 BDs but have to mail in and they will send to US address only. Currently got no one there staying long enough to do it, the offer ends February 2009 I think.
Again, thanks to Apisgogo for making this happen.

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