I personally haven't had any major problems with my HK sets. The biggest issue for people is pixelation. It happens a little here and there, but if you are fine with fansubbed anime from the internet, then you will be fine with HK sets. I think that FX sets are great and considering the cost they are worth it. You should throw this question around at the HK forums at http://www.arcticnightfall.com. That is a superb place to find out the latest info and answers to any questions. I admit that at times it (buying HK dvds) is sort of a scary thing to get into because there are times when things screw up, but I think that most people are satisfied with what they get. My only suggestion would be to do your homework well: check out quality reviews on this site (import-anime) and others like http://www.cookiejarvideo.com. Also check the different sellers and ask questions on message boards about sets you are interested in. There are lots of people very willing to help and give information. You can usually sniff out the specific details concerning the set you want and then you can decide if it sounds good to you. I think that HK sets are a great way for anime fans to really get into different series and explore lots of different titles. Have fun.
