No ideal yet. Here's the reply from HKFlix when I asked about shipping cost to Phils:

"It will be shipped from California. I’m not sure exactly what shipping will be, but you’ll get the best possible rate. No one will have a cheaper quote. We can either ship using EMS or FEDEX.

I can’t provide an exact quote now since we don’t have any in stock so I don’t know the box dimensions or weight. But when you get an email from me notifying the item is available, just ask me for the quote and I’ll get it for you."

Since it's coming from the US, guess I'll use JAC.

Shipping via EMS or FEDEX to the Philippines is less than $80.00 according to HKFLIX.com. But the problem is baka may Customs tax pa eto compared if we ship it via JAC. Pero kung walang Tax then, the EMS and FEDEX shipping fees are cheap na compared to JAC unless you go via sea freight.

Agree ako. I have the same experience. Some BD or HD-DVD titles have rather poor pq. If you put it another way, the same title on SD with good video processing looks practically the same. It's also quite hard to detect the difference in audio between SD and BD, kahit lossless ang audio. Kaya nga good buy talaga ang Oppo 983.

Of course, some BD titles are really good pero ala chamba.

Can anyone convince sir Nemesis to sell Oppo in the Philippines?

If there's an authorized Philippine dealer, then we wouldn't worry so much about parts and service.

pchin · « **Reply #36 on:** May 08, 2008 at 09:35 PM »

True eh. Oppo player is in high demand & hopefully some of our local AV shops will sell it.

Audio Dimension is actually selling OPPO DVD players but way to expensive. For the local price of an OPPO 981, I can get an OPPO 983 inclusive of shipping already..

Sir, ako hindi na-tax when I ordered my 981 lat year (Aug. '07) from HKflix also. Shipped via FEDEX door-to-door express delivery.. 3 days lang dumating na kagad pero wala nako binayaran.

Yes I have. Will they ship direct to the Philippines, Paul? How much kaya?

pchin · « **Reply #45 on:** May 15, 2008 at 04:27 PM »

Geez...after tried so many attempts I just gave up!

The "check-out" payment page isn't friendly at all.

Philippines is not listed.

So I tried using JAC as my shipping address & becos my credit card is from Philiipines, thus I tried "PayPal" as the payment option & got error. Also, if you put "Outside USA" it will not work....it keep asking you to put the states. $:-\$

I emailed the customer service twice na & until now still no reply at all.

You might just have to wait for the email of HKflix.com..

Here's their reply:

Unfortunately we do not support the direct purchase of our players to the Philippines at this time.

We would recommend contacting SLT Technologies, our Singapore dealer, about possible shipment support to the Philippines. SLT Technologies Pte Ltd, [email protected], Tel: (65)90666088

Yep, had the same experience. Can't pay using credit card because the Philipines isn't even listed. Bummer.

Here's the reply from SLT Technologies, Singapore:

Thanks for your email and interest in Oppo.
We can easily ship to Philippines , and have done that many times for our other Philippines customers.
We ship by SpeedPost, and it should cost between S$80-S$100 via SpeedPost Courier.
We are selling the Oppo DV-983H at S$590/set, and accept payment by bank t/t transfer only.

Do let us know if you want to go ahead, and we’ll let you have bank details for payment, together with total shipping cost.

Thank you.

BRgds,
SLT Technologies

***********************************************

Cost breakdown & conversion:

From SLT Technologies.
Oppo DV-983H at S$590 = US$431 (Peso 18,370)
Shipping cost S$100 = US$73 (Peso 3,100)

Total Cost: S$690 = US$504 (Peso 21,400)

I'm not familiar with SpeedPost Courier but we might expect to pay around 20-30% custom tax P4,000 to P6,000 on top of the above cost.

***********************************************

From Oppo Digital tru JAC.
Oppo DV-983H at US$399 + shipping US$14 (Peso 17,600)
Shipping cost tru JAC (estimated 5,000)

Total Cost: Peso 22,600

Based on the above computation it seems it's still cheaper to import tru JAC.

**Looks like if we can't order direct from Oppo Digital then HKflix.com might be the solution

macdon · « **Reply #50 on:** May 18, 2008 at 12:05 AM »

I think Speedpost is EMS = express mail service natin dito. Yup. expect to pay taxes

Also, if SLT Tech only accepts bank transfers, then expect transfer fees as well.

Oh ... exciting. My suggestion: you can bring the Oppo to my HT so we can compare its deinterlacing/upscaling capability to the VP50Pro! Oppo 983 should have almost same quality.

Yes Mark, that's an excellent suggestion!

Will let you know as soon as I get it. Tnx

Weng! · « **Reply #58 on:** May 24, 2008 at 09:04 AM »

i'm looking forward on that comparison test between the vp50 pro. even if its half good than the vp50, at least it will be an economical alternative for us (or me only who can't afford a vp50 or any vp

) to enjoy better upscaling.

hi sir streetsmart,

have you tried to use the faroudja upscaler of your denon 2808? the 2308 (my avr) and 2808 shares the same faroudja chip. if you happen to experience them oppo981 and pioneer dv600, how good is the denon avr's upscaler versus the other 2? i am asking this because i'm using component from dvd to my 2308 and hdmi to panny plasma. wanted an all hdmi connections but the denon can only upscale analog signals and pass through hdmi.

sorry for the O.T.

thanks,

weng
