The DVD playback is one element. Another one (and much more important, IMO) is the receiver. A good receiver or processor provides features, control and quality that the cheap packages your friend is talking about can't approach. Of course, this only counts if one cares about such things.

Also, the speakers included in the package deals generally aren't the best quality. But if all one wants is to make some noise out of five channels, they'll do.
