Looks like ps3 is the clear winner. Din know ps3 not officially available here. Not games kaki.
Another noob question: bd discs oso like dvd region encoded ? For eg I get a bd player from japan, can i watch the bd from us or other parts ?
got jalan to get from japan 1 unit so thinking to buy or not to buy or get ps3 ?

Hi,

I think ps3 is popular cos it is oso a gamin machine and does bd discs as well .. d price helps too..

But performance wise .. de Panny bd 30 beats it in most cases..

Ok.. bd 30 is alrdy 2999 .. how much will de bd50 be listed as??

Crazy prices n software oso not cheap..

Hi,

I donno .. most of de reviews compare it favourably to de ps3 but in de US they are abt de same price so its a fair comparison.. over here de ps3 is cheaper than de bd30, so its unfair to compare .. ppl assume when u pay more..

Hv been trawlin thru avs's bd30 threads(200+pgs..) n apparently it got sum bugs too.. wonder wat version our local units are??

Hahaha,

De oppo will beat de pants off de budget panny/sony/samsung.. if its anythin like its dvdp's perfromance.
Itll be closer to de boutique brands like denon/marantz.. but wif de price of a midrange player..

Its rumored to enter in summer 09 .. we'll prbbly see it down under in end of nxt yr.. jus nice for de first genre ps3s owners to upgr to..

dirtrun,

I meant it is new news to me that is region free. I guess the one I am getting is definately not region free. The ones being talked abt in Spore is that it is a hardware mod to make it region free. I definately will get the hardware mod. I got mine at USD499. Wonder how much the mod is?

I'm familiar with Oppo and have seen their 983 in action in US. Its an impressive set. Very impressive. I believe the BD83 would be as well. Anyway, will check it out for myself this weekend.

Hi Bro A,

Yes its a hardware mod but undertaken by SLT, so warranty is still valid.. apparently its a popular demand thingy n gud for those Mass/Group buys done thru Xp .. I tink its stated to be S$100 more than de MO askin price of S$900 for jus de unhacked bdp83 alone .. o yea, de 100bucks gets u a vdo calibrating disc too - a Spears n Munsil tingy..

I hv a 981hd when it first came out n its a pretty decent allrounder - music playin aint too bad either( for a all in one la) .. heard tat de 983 is even better but I hv been bitten by de HD bug n well .. Like I said before ..

Tis is de nx bdp to get, liao..

Its now $S1k(wif de region hack/mod) but itll cum down a bit when de novelty of being a first adopter dies dwn..

N since I m using de ps3 now.. I d consider tis an upgr.. of sorts, if nutin jus tat itll be region free is alrdy a draw for me..
Dont u wish u could buy bds like when u were gettin dvd's.. I mean since we r hvin a region free player, u can get from US, UK, HK n still play it on our player???

ar188,

I believe there is a reason why the price is higher. Attached are 2 online reviews from respected sites. I know you normally don't rate reviews too highly. My own experience suggests that it is at least on par with the Pioneer Elite series and priced lower due to its additional features. Anyway, for me it is a decent set.

Home Theater Mag

Secrets of Home Theater Benchmark

For those who do not need the additional features, I believe the Panny BD60 is sufficient.

Haha,

I guess bro AR188 nids de name to go wif de performance.. tats 'branding 101' at work - uhm u then hv to pay xtra for tat xtra 'perk'

Oppo has always given wat matters , ie performance over other tings like looks {or brand, in tis case..) .. they really know wat enthusiasts are lukin for and give them wat they want - if u luk in de belly of de bdp83, it dont lose out to de pioneer bdp's.. In de US, oppo isnt considered cheap either but wat it provides is upmarket performance for midrange prices..

Jus my 2 cts

yes I agree what oppo strength is midrange prices for upmarket performance, so it should be price closer to USD299 (mid range) not USD499 (upper range)..
with USD99 players being at the low end of the price spectrum..
*
Haha..

I guess than Oppo's marketin team aint tat stoopid after all..

If it can sell at 500.. more profit ma..

But seriously.. de Sg vrsn now for S$1k for an easy to use region free hardware hack is gud value ..
Other brands cost an arm n a leg jus for de region free mod.. plus it voids de warranty..(we arent talkin abt capital outlay to get de player yet..)

Again its my opinion only la

Please enlighten me, which source is the best for getting an Oppo BDP83 (dvd region free version) into Malaysia?  I think its high VQ is undisputed by the rave reviews and its SACD capability is very useful for me.  We all know its USD499 from their website and even Amazon has it.  But bring it back would be a problem, no?   But how?  Using Vpost?  How much roughly "all in" - around RM2500?  Or closer to RM3000 in the end.

Somebody mentioned SGD1k in Singapore, is it online purchase or we have to physically buy it in Spore and handcarry back?  Any details on the retail shop or online store site?  Is the Spore version region free (for dvd)?

Thanks for any information provided.

Hi,

I d seriously consider joinin de xtremeplace(XP) forums MO for tis n then fly(air asia cheapma..) dwn n handcarry it back when it arrives.. region free for both SD n HD(if u opt for de hardware hack)..

BTW deposits pd thru XP forums MO's are pretty safe, judgin from my experience..
