Get a real dvd player. Xbox and playstation 2 sometimes have problem playing dvds. The problems are freezing/skipping/blur images etc.
It's not expensive to get a real dvd player. You can get so many under $100.

It's adequate (when it can play HK DVDs - in my opinion more of a fault of the DVDs than the Xbox) and will certainly do in the interim until you buy a standalone. To be honest you don't need the finest of players to watch HKs anyway, but a standalone will be better than a games console DVD player.

Crappy DVD performance plus no great exclusive games? I just don't get the point.

for some this is a big part.. the Xbox actually has 3 different Drives in them..
they have a
Thomson - Shitty it won't even read cd-r's
Samsung - The best, will read about anything you give it
Phillips - Complete shit reads about 50% of discs i put it if that..
So alot depends on which drive you actually get in the Xbox weither it will play dvd's very good or not.. my xbox with Thomson drive skips on R1 movies. Thats how shitty it is.. But my one with samsung doesn't have a problem at all..
