thanks for the info.

i've sent my query to both Play-Asia and Renchi, both have not replied me yet.

The most frustrating part of it all, Play-Asia is out of stock of both the VGA cable and the Wireless Gaming Receiver for the "Asian version"
but they have the "Japan version" in stock.

i'm like wtf?!

can't these numbnuts do their job properly. do they want our money or not?

hoping to read more testimonials from fellow users so that i would feel much better when i finally click 'Pay Now'.

BTW ventriloquist, are u using your VGA cable with a HDTV? bcoz i'm planning to and i'd love to hear how upscaled dvd looks on your display.

does it really look much better when it's upscaled from 480p to 720p?

mine's a plasma and i was just watching xvid files at a resolution of 624x352 and they look nice being upscaled to 720p over my component cables.

So i'm guessing dvds at 720x480 should look just as nice if not better.

But, do they really look mind blowing when upscaled to 720p @ 1280x720 resolution as everyone seems to claim or is it grossly overrated?

i like my component cables that came with my premium just fine. Games look gorgeous as ever, especially AitD which i'm playing now.

BUt knowing the immense power the 360 has under the hood, triple dual core cpu and all, i won't be surprised if the dvd looks SICK when upscaled.

Finally some reason to buy original dvds with DTS and DD 5.1 instead of breaking my back downloading 8Gb mkvs for 8 hrs and encoding them to WMV-HD for 10 hrs only to have no extras!

p/s: i reallly appreciate comments from people with HDTV only for this one. No offense monitor people.
