Just read this at Blu-Ray.com

Review of Transformers BD.

Transformers BD Review at Blu-ray.com

I must say that this Paramount disc failed to load in my Panasonic BD-30, but it worked just fine in my Playstation 3. I've had similar experiences with a few other Paramount titles, and hopefully other users will not experience this problem.


Anyone with Panny BD-30 that can confirm this when they get their TF BD? smile.gif

Perhaps we need those China made BD players to flood the market first, then those branded players will be priced more reasonably. Some competition is good anyway. I'm waiting for that to happen.

It took quite a while for China made DVD players to start flooding the market. I think it was like 6-7 years AFTER the introduction of DVD format then only China made players were available. So it might take a while for them to follow suit with BD Players too. So in the mean time, us early adopters pay for the premium.

Sources have indicated to Blu-ray.com that at least one company will offer a limited number of Blu-ray Disc players for under $200 this holiday season.

These players will likely be entry-level BonusView (Profile v1.1) players that companies hope to empty from their inventory as BD-Live (Profile v2.0) players begin to saturate the market.

Additionally, recent industry whispers that Sony would be lowering the MSRP of their BDP-S350 and upcoming BDP-S550 also appear to be true, but may only be temporary.
Note that this is only in the US. When we can see below US$200 (RM680) BD Player in Malaysia is anyone's guess. But I guess there is hope yet in the near future smile.gif

Nope the Sharp BD-20 dont do DTS-HDMA at all, internally or bitstream. I'm also using that player. All DTS-HDMA encoding gets downgraded to normal DTS.

Yeah for that price its a steal. I got my Sharp BD-HP20A for RM800 biggrin.gif
