Topic: 2010 Blu-Ray Players

[scifi-fan]

Grabe naman... we're already approaching the 3Q 2010 and nearly none of these players have made it to our shores for retail...

No wonder Bluray adoption here is so low and the prices still remain high....

baka mauna pa lumabas yung mga 2011 BD player sa Quiapo - Pensonic, Ahoo, Caseo, at Sonya brands

Thanks Paul. Can't seem to find anything though here in SG    Another (cheaper?) option I'm considering is just to buy a new laptop and have its BD-ROM region-free. Any thoughts?

I'm not sure regarding BD-rom price & region-free but if it's cheaper than a BD standalone player, why not?

I recommend LG BD-560 bluray/mkv/dvd (multi-code) player w/ internet capability.  Nagkaroon ng BEST DENKI weekend promo dito sa Singapore at 199sgd lang (6.4K pesos) w/ free 3 bluray titles.

So far, im happy with its performance.

@JT - Have you actually tried playing videos from an external hdd connected via usb? What files and sizes does it support? Going to SG for F1, might as well get a bd player if its cheaper.

Yah, I have sampled most my mkv's which i is around 16gb filesizes and no issue so far. The problem so far is sometimes not able to detect my 1.5tb.

Not sure kung may aabutan kang promo during F1.  Usually mataas presyo to take advantage sa mga visitors. Last yata week meron pa rin nitong 199sgd w/ free 3 bluray titles.

Bro. JT, would there be a sale again some time 1st week September??

[sillyputty]

@JT - Where did you store your mkvs? Flash drive? Sayang...nasa hdd pa naman movies ko.
Last one...can it also play dvd/bd iso?

Not sure. So far I know one shop in Khatib selling the same promo at 230sgd.

Yah, LG BD560 plays Bluray A, DVD multi-region, and ISO files as well. I have connected a USB extender where my 1x buffalo 2tb, 3x WD 1tb are connected to the player. But I dont power on these external HD all at once, only 1 at the time.

Wow, it can read NTFS?

[gunslinger]

[JT]

Anybody know if the Panasonic DMP-BDT350 3-D bluray player with dual HDMI outputs is availabile locally? This will enable you to connect the 3-D video output directly to the projector, and the other for lossless audio connection to the HDMI 1.3 receiver.

Is the LG BD550 any good? I guess it just doesn't have the Wifi of the 560? It will be released by LG Philippines very soon.

Wow that's cheap. It's supposed to be 7,999 when launched here.

When do you think this will go out locally? Been eyeing this for sometime pero I was hesitant to buy this abroad because of warranty. And is the price really at 7999? This would be very competitive given that you'll have local warranty to cover your item. And LG is getting good feedback in terms of serving warranty claims.

am the look-out for an nmt or bd player that can play mkv's. this price really fits my budget. any idea when this unit will be launched here? hoping that it will be very soon.
atat na atat na ako e. sayang yung hd tv ko kasi puro sd content lang ang pinapanood ko. pero pagsisihan ko ng sobra kapag bumili ako ng nmt tapos lumabas ito this month at this price.

[gunslinger]

Ako, I already have an Xtreamer to play HD movies pero I also started collecting BDs. I get to watch BDs only if I can borrow a PS3 from time to time. Been thinking of just getting the PS3 for gaming and BD viewing but chances are, I won't have time to play kaya BDP na lang siguro.

LG BD550 is around 170sgd only in COURTS shop here in Singapore. Bluray is Region A, DVD can be remote hacked into multicode. Not sure yet if its usb can read > 1tb hd in NTFS. Anyone tried this already?

Yup that's what I want to know too, though my LG TV recognizes my 1TB external hard drive and is capable of playing MKV files.
