4K UHD Players Australian Availability - Blu-ray Forum

jkington · 04-26-2016, 12:59 AM

Thanks for starting this thread. I've been searching the usual Aus retailers for a few weeks and have not seen anything in terms of when/ if the players are coming. With some of the UHD announcements that have been coming up, I can't wait to dip my toes in...although, the $699 asking price hurts a little.

- Correction - I see that rio are selling pre-orders for $495. I can swallow that a bit easier.

i think the $500 price is for a limited amount of time though i think they did/ are doing something similar for the US release , $500 i can stomach but $700 is a bit to steep for me.

What are Rio like? Safe to pre-order?

This is because they didn't order any from the distributor for their stores until yesterday:

Edit: Yes, I saw them in the wild a couple of days ago, at Sanity:
