hmmm

spindle of 50 will set you back a bit, it's worth trying out discs individually if you want to experiment. Otherwise go for Traxdata/TDK/Verbatim etc.

Where are you located? might be able to point you to a better source for your media.

Ya im hearing traxdata is good but im located in the US paul (california) i know tdk and verbatim are the best but im on a budget spent all my cash on the ps2 modified and the burner im low on funds for the dvd-rs. haha i should just suck it up and buy tdk and spend 185 for 100 or sometin i guess i dont know. whats the right price per tdk? $2, $2.50 or more?

[psx_paul]

try www.pricewatch.com or www.buy.com for some good deals on DVD-R , never gone through that site personally (UK) but people like A03 recommend them so I take his word for it.

Without pointing out the obvious, buying in bulk doesn't mean buying 100 discs. You could perhaps buy 10 for the time being and save for the rest at a later date.

ya i was going to do that im going to buy 20 princo dvd-rs for $25 (including shipping) im going to see how princo goes probably gonna use princo for dvd making and tdk or verbatim for games. thanks people appreciate the help.

I used a princo DVD-R to back up my Medal of Honour game, I experienced a lot of skipping through out the game. If you can go for another brand of media like the TDKs or Verbatim, just my opinion.

O thanks paul

i agree with paul princo r ok as long as your laser is good
older ps2 will struggle for sure
this was the older versions of princo disk
so maybe there newer disks will b better
if u can find traxdata dvdr they r cheap and 100% reliable
