Anyone bought the Sony 4k player from Amazon before? Can it be use in sg. Tia
Just sharing some update:
1) 4K Ultra HD Blu ray
You can either buy from Poh Kim rather expensive at $49.90
which comes with standard Blu ray.
Or can rent from Rida Video Centre Coronation Shopping Plaza.
For those taking MRT, nearest is Botanic Garden.
For Rida they do sell both 4K Ultra HD
as well as rental. Really a lot of 4K Utra HD from US while some
are local 4K.
Any title you need if they don't have, they can bring it in for you.
Do support original disc.
2) 4K Bluray players in SG
LG - $499
Samsung - $499
Oppo - $1K (Have not confirm)
Confirmed absent from SG market,
Panasonic THX certified 4K Ultra HD Blu ray.
Sony UBP-X800 many have actually requested for it but
Sony SG turned down.
Why? Probably due to SG market trend of either streaming/downloading
video/movies that is why they won't bring in it.
Demand for Physical disc isn't there, that is why even for Sony TV bundle
with PS4 instead of blu ray players.
Twice I have check with them but they just turned down the request.
Thus for those including myself, best to get from Amazon US.
However take note of US voltage is 120v, this model it doesn't have
universal power.
Thus you will to get a 100 watt 240V to 120 V step down transformer in order to use UBP-X800 from US. I also wish to get locally but
probably due to market trend that is why they don't do it.
