Default Steer well clear of Malaysia!

| They don't sell bluray discs in Malaysia?

Govnmnt requires imported movies to be passed by a censor
board, so consumers cannot mail order from USA w-o a permit.
A few importers of blue ray discs charge very high mark up, their
discs (~8) are retailed @ M$110, a few ( ~10 ) movies ( pirate
copies ) are retailed @ M$50.
~12 US tv series ( pirated ) in dvd are available, 3 ( licensed ) in
blue ray @ M$150 for 3 discs, these 2 series I like are not
available even in dvd / vcd.
Not even 1 blue ray drive for pc is sold in msia ( e.g.

) , cheapest home player is a Phillips machine @ M$549 in Tesco.
