Which Blu-Ray Player?

[bigdaddy24]

Hi Guys
I will be going to Singapore next month.
I wanted to purchase a Blu-ray player.

Could any of you please suggest a good player which is region free and where can i get it in Singapore?


Thanks

I bought the LG BD550 for a great price from Singapore recently (INR 6500), and am very happy with it. If you can get a LAN cable to the player and don't need DLNA, it is a great and highly usable BD player. It has great usability, supports most media formats, and is very fast while playing files off my external hard drive. If you want a no-nonsense BD player, I can highly recommend it.

BTW the one feature I would have loved is DVD upscaling, but apparently only very high-end players do that.

@rayban
Could you let me know if you had to pay any custom duty on it?

Thanks

No, it is a small and inexpensive item. No customs duty.

Mass market items like low/ mid range bdps may not give you best saving. I would suggest you to buy iphone, laptop, amps, cdp, turn table, speakers etc from Singapore.

Now the situation is worst in singapore....On my research AVR is cheaper in Singapore(only comparing to indian prices) + Laptops( we could save little bit) and nothing is cheaper in audio/Video products... hyeah:Low end camera is costlier in Singapore than Indiahyeah:Small size TV's are lesser by 2k and higher size depends on the model.

Dubai prices were better than Singapore + you get 1 year International warranty(anywhere u buy in GCC countries) which you don't get in Singapore

Hi Guys
Regarding the oppo 93 is it region free?
Is anyone using this player?
Any reviews?

No it is locked to Region A for Blue Ray and Region 1 for DVD but I believe third party mods are available for making region free for DVD and Blue Ray Playback. As this is a new player introduced only in December so the availability of the mods will take some time.
