Is that an old 3D glass? Red/Blue lenses. Outdated technology!

looks it nga pero for a just  $35 difference for the 3D version, am tempted to  take it for a ride with a 3D projector siguro for the sheer amusement value.  :) Was thinking most of my library is 90% 2D anyways, baka ito yung poorman's 3D option. Ito so far ang price I am reviewing from the 'Net:

S900 2D
$360

(7 channel analog out,
3.5" drive tray
+ BDROM built in)
S900 3D
 $395
(same as S900 2D)
 plus
2D to 3D conversion built in,
2 glasses included, $35 difference)
S900 options:
$20 for built-in wifi option
$40 2nd OS (Dune interface!)
lS900 3D
(internet price  
@ W2comp)
 
$439

 Given there's 3D and 2D S900 variants,Might just get S900-2D with 2nd  OS option (Loading Dune on the 2nd OS :) to get my BD full navigation menu playing ! hmm..

I am also hunting for a new NMT.  Do you have a comparo between the S900 vs. PCH C200/C300?  Thanks.

S900 vs C200

I have both for personal use. admittedly I often use my S900 Ultra over C200 simply coz i'm more familiar.

BDROM playback
Each configured  with BDROM
C200 plays BD for a region its preset
S900 goes region free coz you can switch between regions A,B,C via the HD player's remote.

PQ/SQ both are based on 8643 chip,

User Interface:
PCH C200 offers its own popular interface
S900 offers OS1/OS2 (multi firmware) in China. I've seen S900 run other firmware like C200 and Dune HD, but after some time playing around with it, i go back the stock Egreat firmware

Jukebox feature:
C200's NMJ - Its a neat feature to run the NMJ, pick a disk and it will index and fetch the missing information automatically.

S900 - i prefer coverart pages so thumbnails 3 x 7 is more than enough for me, and i use Thumbgen.

The NMJ media indexing simplifies it for folks who dont want to bother too much with running Thumbgen. . you get a few wrong fetches depending how your folders are named, so tidy up the folder names before running NMJ, unlike Thumbgen where you can intervene and pickup the correct coverart/generate poster/about jpg

Sadly, S900 has been discontinued as Egreat focuses on Realteks.

Wala na sir, I had a few back orders pero di na talaga ko nabigyan.

There's a country in eastern europe that cornered the remaining stocks.

Personally, C300 vs S900, i'd go S900 anyday with its regionfree, dual OS (egreat + PCH OS, or egreat + Dune OS).

Hi Jim,

Would the s800 be able to detect and use a 3TB HDD, both internally and externally, plus via USB (so 3x3TBs all in all)?
