Because it's very picky when it comes the the type of disks that it reads and it's just not good for watching HK DVDs. I've never had a DRE with any CD or DVD games but it'll refuse to read my MAC Escaflowne set. Finally caved in and got a stand alone DVD player. Haven't had a problem since.
He's right. I always used to argue with people who said the Ps2 had a bad dvd player when it was the only one I had. Had alot of arguments with the guy at the videorental shop when a movie didn't play right and I wouldn't admit it was the ps2. Well, it was.
I only had problems with regular movies 2 or 3 times but when I started buying hkdvds the problems would happen more often especialy at the point where it skips to the second layer and the screen would just hang there. When I finaly got a standalone, no more problems and it loads the discs faster than the ps2 (which is real slow) and the remote, how could I ever live without one
Also it is said the ps2 breaks down much faster if you use it as a dvd player although I think the new lens and software was sony's solution for that problem.
With a ps2 its always stress when you receive a hkdvd if it will work.
