If people spend money for quality hardware they can afford, why not spend on the content as well, after all that's what the hardware is for.

+1, I still prefer bds and I'm saving up for one of those great oppo players. I always try to download mkvs that's over 4 gig to try to get the best quality but IMo sa sound quality nothing beats the orig bd.

I don't think Laos ang bd. Yesterday I was in sm appliance makati and saw this lady bought a 32 inch led together with a Lg bluray player haha.

Lagi na lang nagkakamali ng saksak sa 220. Kahit mag-ingat ka, one of these days it will happen, kung hindi ikaw ang magkamali, yung ibang tao sa bahay ang magkakamali.

Kuwento nga ng barkada, sa office daw nila may 110 na printer, may malaking label pa sa plug ng printer, nakalagay "110 volts only," naka multiple-layer packaging tape pa sa transformer para permanent na ang connection at siguradong hindi matatanggal. Guess what, may engot pa rin na nagsaksak sa 220, ayun, sunog...

there a few factors that affect why blu ray hasnt aken off here.
because its so damn expensive. no one on the philippines is willing to pay for 900 for a standard blu ray. People might buy if it were sold for 500 but that is already beyond a lot of people comfort zone. I think a lot more people will buy if it were sold at 300-200.

what advantage HD give is moot because a lot of pinoys are still stuck with SD with CRTs.

another is the internet. its so convenient to torrent free stuff.

but i still like my BDs. theres nothing like holding a solid disk with the smell of plastic. beats a boring computer monitor any day.

I'm glad that players have also become cheaper. A pioneer BDP can run around 4999 even less. Which the price of a high end DVD player.

Get BD's to be priced under P600, bring these to the malls and you will see.

I want to upgrade my BD player.

I look at the Blu-ray Players Board and I see very little activity. The Board started in 2007, and it only has 6 pages of topics. Talo pa ng NMT Childboard --- started in 2008, now has 10 pages of topics.

Panasonic BDT-220 player sounds OK, but there's no thread for it, or for any 2012 Panny BD player for that matter.

Is any 2012 Panny BD player even available in the Phils?

Pioneer BDP-150 might be OK. There's a thread for it, but there's very little interest in it. A one-page thread for a 2012 mass-market model, and we're only weeks away from 2013.

I google for professional reviews on the Pio BDP-150 --- nothing.

I search for it on amazon --- it only has one user review!

http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-BDP-150-Network-Enabled-Blu-ray/dp/B0083C8AQS

Unbelievable.

Laos na ba ang BD players?

BD is not "laos" but just slow in market growth. It only has around 26% of the home video market 5 years from launch and is expected to overtake DVD sales in another 4 years with its linear growth. On the other hand. DVD overtook VHS in just 6 years from launch.

Auto volt naman.

Why aren't the gray market sellers importing Panny TVs and BD players from Singapore? Ang lapit lang naman sa atin ng Singapore.

US version 120 volts & region locked DVD/BD yata yon sir. OK naman for most people, and his price is good.

Pag Singapore, auto volt and DVD region free, but BD region locked.

Does this mean BD's are becoming more mainstream/affordable na? Marami pa kasi akong kilala na dvd parin ang gusto dahil mas marami daw avail na title and mas mura ng malayo.

IMO, that should count towards BDs alone because the DVDs are like the bonus disc you get for purchasing the BD. hehe

I actually wish BDs did not come with DVDs anymore if it meant more affordable prices. I don't even use the DVDs and just give them away to my friends.

BD sales have always been increasing ---

In 2008 - The HD DVD vs Blu-ray format war ended. In 2009 - BD sales increase by 83%. In 2010 - BD sales increase by 64%. In 2011 - BD sales increase by 35%. In 2012 - BD sales increase by 13%.

Sa laki ng mga increase, akala ko naka-overtake na sa DVD. Ang layo pa pala.

==================================

2008 Prediction:

Disney Says Blu-ray Technology Will Overtake DVDs in Two Years
By Chiara Remondini - October 7, 2008 11:56 EDT

Oct. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Walt Disney Co., the second-largest U.S. media company, forecast sales of high-definition Blu-ray discs in the U.S. will overtake DVDs within two years.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aFpgM3IsfqKc

In 2010 - DVD sales were still way ahead of BD sales.

2011 Prediction:

Blu-ray sales to overtake DVD... next year
Packaged media on last legs?
By Hard Reg
9th June 2011 09:38 GMT

Blu-ray Disc sales will finally surpass those of DVDs next year.

So says market watcher Futuresource. Its numbers are based on revenues. Next year, BD will account for 41 per cent of home entertainment spending on content, DVD for 26 per cent.
http://www.reghardware.com/2011/06/09/blu_ray_sales_dvd/

In 2012 - Wrong again. Not even close. Sales are still 30%-70% in favor of DVD.

Any more forecasts? Ayaw na yata nilang mag forecast. Nadala na siguro...
