i wus looking forward to get a panasonic s54 coz of the viera link but turned away because of no USB.

is it panasonic intentionally?

so right now im trying to consider this philips 3380K or 3986K. any advices? is it really can play almost all formats?

Not sure about the 3380K but I do know the 3388K aka King of Playability, can playback WMV,DivX, WMA and MP3. So, not really all formats.

However if you can put off the investment for a while, buying into a blu-ray player instead is better. Prices for BDP is coming down

thanks. the price of bdp is going down. but its still too high for me now. plus im not really into the BD original movies yet. more using usb and dvds.

bdp players now is into war with brands competing with each other with newer features almost every 3 months.

while waiting for the clear winner, i think i will settle for a branded DVD player 1st.

Then, I recommend the Philips. It plays practically any kind of disc....if you know what I mean

yea.. im thinking of mr philips too.

its just trying to sort out the model between 3388k / 5996K .

Which is the best among the two?

5996k supports hdmi upscale and video playback on USB rite??

yes

you guys not interested in WDTV or some other media players?

interested.... but a dvd player is a must hav too.

if still insist on DVD player...
take the sony 728 @RM299 better... newer model than philips 5996k

think package with HDMI also, do check out..

The Sony 728 was on my buying list, b4 i migrated to Pioneer LX52

728...not bad tho, can play video on USB

Added on October 28, 2009, 1:19 amdo you know that the philips 3000 you bought is better ( if not at equivalent PQ ) with a Marantz/denon DVD costing around RM700.00

OMG!!! BDP for RM5XX This is so unbelieveable

I was actually contemplating whether to replace my ancient DVDP or spend RM1,699 on a BDP (special offer for UOB cardmember ) when I bump into this tread.

Is there a catch like limited time offer or only in Carrefour Labuan . There is a region code 3 though hence wondering whether can play 'Ahem' DVD or not?

If can then will drop by Carrefour and grab 1 this week-end. Better then buying a RM3xx DVDp

yeah... philips bdp is raound 599 price.

i was also almost tempted to buy it until i noticed the USB port is not included.... sad.... then tak jadi coz usb is one of my most needed feature

Can the Philips BDP3000 play "ahem" DVD. Does it come with an upscaler ?
