The other day I was browsing ebay for pioneers that are on the ultimate UHD guide as uhd friendly. Whilst I was searching for BDR-UD04 drives on ebay I came across the BDR-UD04TBD drives that are being sold for cheap. Seems too good to be true.
BDR-UD04TBD is obviusly not the same as BDR-UD04 which begs the question of are these uhd friendly?
Should I get one since Mike said that all pioneers will be supported?

If it's from China I would not buy it. Most likely a fake then.

I can tell that, related to the BDR-UD03 variation (e.g. TBD, FAL or of course without such letter combinations), that every model variation that I've bought in China or Japan (ebay) was able to flash to BDR-UD04. It was a risky but lucky try.
Whether the same applies to the final UD04 variants I can not say. Risk it and learn or let it be.
