bluray media don't cost more to produce than a blank DVD or CD
especially when you can get the disc directly from the factory, each disc don't cost more than 2 RMB

ur so call wholesale is already marked up for a few hundred percent already.

no that's not true actually

ppl think they're the same thing but that's a misconception

there was a whole discussion and corporate/expert explanations in the past etc. about it
you're wrong there


granted if you had access to the plant and bought/stole discs in quantities extremely great in number then discs would be cheaper


bleh too lazy to find the article that actually gave you the price per disc (but the info is pretty old when there werent that many plants printing discs)

anyway, in response to you: nope :P






edit omg big fail by me i was thinking about name brand discs However i still maintain 10rmb a pirated BD is still too cheap :P


edit 2: yeah it costs around 266% more for a blu-ray disc than a dvd disc as a of '08, for manufacturers (prices have been plumetting i guess) $3.50 for a whole package (so that includes disc, case, art + burning; this price does not include licensing fees, strictly the aforementioned so a lot less for simply the disc) so... Okay so after 2 years that price must have dropped a bit more so... i may be a little more inclined in believing u Hyde :P still something doesnt seem right :D

do you have friends that actually own and operate a factory that produce blank media?
sure, the factory brought in half a million US worth of equipment initially to produce blu-ray, and it was producing them at not even close to capacity due to the fact it was still new on the market.

accord to my last visit to my friend's factory, their blu-ray production line has already reach full capacity. and 4 years has past since the introduction of bluray. production cost currently is no more that a DVD

maybe you should go and actually find a manufacturer than reading about corporate explanation on forums.

how the fuck do u think they can sell for $4-6 bucks in north america when the cost is no more than 50cents in RMB?

open registration, pretty good site

oh no tnis is turning into one of your fairy tales is it hyde, if you look at economic analysis of the bd indstry and read the press releases fom blu-ray authoring companies u'll see that its not the same price as dvd. Piraters arent goung to be making any profit by selling pirated blu-rays for $1cad ,
how bout instead of turning this into a fairy tale you simply take a pic of the street stand selling pirated bds for $1

no one sells bd at the price of dvd u idiot, but cost of production is the same. just becuz verbatim ordered 1 million disc at $5RMB each doesnt mean it cost 5 bux to manufacture. the factory isn't gonna just produce 1m disc just for the order, they will produce more and these would be sold off to the locals. how the fuck do u think the factory makes money?


dvd blanks are around 75 cents each, dual layer bluray 50G are about 2-3 RMB each

btw, $10 RMB for a bluray is my price, I'm sure if u walk in, they would charge you at least $30 :fuckyea: actually, they won't even show u the hidden room to the pirated section....

hidden room for pirated movies? rofl oh god major fail

and who's talking about verbatim? im talking about the firms that are authoring discs for the movie industry


so sad hyde, as usual

Can anyone with a 3D setup explain what you need to make it work, especially for a PS3. Thanks!

I have a PS3, a Yamaha HTR 3063 receiver which is 3D "compatible" (whatever that means!) and an older Samsumg plasma TV. I'm guessing I only need to replace the TV with a 3D TV, and the 3D output of the PS3 will flow through the 3D compatible Yamaha receiver to the 3D TV. Right?

yeah, your receiver has to be 3d ready, and u need the hdmi 1.4a cables. From your ps3 to your receiver, and then from receiver to TV.

for those who dont have a 3d receiver, i believe you can run hdmi directly to your tv from your ps3, then an audio out line from your TV to your receiver
