Any idea how to claim the 2 free titles? Can we send disc to borderlinx then ship over? US$218 is amazing price. Lol! Less than $300 and no GST. Lol!

Is the promotion for the free disc's over?

Any US address will do. You need to register your player on their website, then they will send you a redemption code through email with the instructions. I had to use a VPN in order to access the second website, they restrict only to US IP addresses.

According to the box, the promo ends in Sept, but on the redemption website it gave me up to 20th Oct to redeem my discs.

wow! This is a no brainer buy

 

[winningeleven]

US $199 +34 shipping is less than SG $320.

Sony Australia is selling at AU$399.
Sony UK at UK£400.

If singapore got it. Probably it will cost $459 to $499. My guess.

Great price, but FYI

That price doesn't include "$33.84 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Singapore "
Also see the number of outputs and terminals.

Yes. Need to add in the shipping plus a step down transformer to use it in Singapore. Just treat it as buying it now at US$248 with free shipping fee plus step down.

The price is hovering around US$248 for the past week and the lowest price I monitored at US$208.

Is the voltage universal? Is a step-down transformer needed?

Thanks ;-)

If you mean UBP-X800 player, the power is not universal
since it is hard wired into the player.
You will need a step down transformer for it.

Unlike Sony 1080p Blu ray player, most are using
step-down transformer which is a external power supply.

Besides UBP-X800 model there is the UBP-X1000ES.
https://www.sony.com/electronics/blu-ray-disc-players/ubp-x1000es
Even that you need a step down transformer.
I am still waiting for local release, just hope to see either one
here.

But the ES one if release locally would hit near $1k mark.
ES line are Sony premium line and they are not cheap models.

Received and hook up the Sony x800 uhd player.

I tried uhd 4k bluray batman vs superman playback on it and I find the pictures quality no difference from blu ray viewing from my old sony 790 bluray player. Dunno what I have missed on the setup?

Edited.
Need to set my brava tv hdmi setting to enhanced. But my hdmi cable should be probably the old 1.4 type where once I set to enhanced, it is unstable, frequent blank screen and no sound to AVR. Need to Get a 4k hdmi High speed to test.
