    What do you have it hoped up via?


    Hooked up I prisume? Just via ethernet to my router. It did a few updates.

    I have to say the upscaling on this for normall dvds is amazing. Blows my Xbox 360 out of the water.

    I'm actually finding it hard to see the difference between the hd films and the normall ones, might have some thing to do with my Technosonic 32" :p

    The total is AU$33.68, which on XE.com is €20.57. But on their website, the Euro price is €20.43!:eek:

    Wow, not a huge fan either but 20 yoyos is nothing for 3 decent-ish action movies, mind you the second one is total rubbish!

    Yeah I meant hooked up and I meant to what TV.

    DVD crave seems to be class. I got 3 HDDVDS (including Transfomrs) for €30 delivered whihc is the cost of Transformers in the lifes of HMV or what ever


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 107 ✭✭doodio


    I got mine at about 13:30.

    Is everyone blown away by the quality or only slightly.

    Im not sure what side of the fence im on yet

    Right, off to do an update of the firmware....



    i'll buy yours if you don't like it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 107 ✭✭doodio


    anyone selling theirs?


  • Registered Users Posts: 725 ✭✭✭djfattony2000


    No I dont want to sell it, but I hear of people saying that the difference is larger than that between VHS and DVD, I dont think so.

    Dont get me wrong, it still looks great though

    Anyone know if there is a region hack for this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,809 ✭✭✭Stokolan


    Have a look on avforums. I think i might have seen mention of one there. I know theres a region hack for the ep10 which i got a few weeks before this one.

    Mine arrived today, but I didn't get World Trade Center. Instead I got Black Rain? Anyone else get this?

    Also, the quality is way better than my xbox 360 hd dvd. Well impressed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,412 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    Got mine today, disappointed that ibood swapped Black Rain for 300


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,233 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    I got 300 and Black Rain.

    Had a quick look at Serenity. Looks class. I think though to see the full effects of the HD you would need a bigger screen and 1080p tv.

    But still well impressed.

    got black rain instead of wtc

    I have a 40" 1080p Samsung. It is really weird switching from 1080p HD to my UPC Cable box. The difference is huge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,247 ✭✭✭Qwerty?


    Yeah I got black rain instead of wtc aswell. :(

    Well impressed with it thou. Have it hooked up to a 2 year old, 37" HD ready TV, and the TV is finally using it's potential, and boy does it look good.:D

    And upscaling looks brilliant.

    I got an unexpected windfall today and I'm half tempted to go out and blow it. I shouldnt but I might!

    Power City have a Samsung M87 1080p, for €1255.45 if you order online. You can still collect in store. The instore price is €1350.

    This is the TV that I paid €1700 for less than a year ago. I would highly recommend it.

    My treat myself but at the moment I cant justify it already having a HD tv. I'lll see if I can shift it first
