If you can get them Traxdata or White Label are best cheaper media, otherwise Verbatim/TDK etc.

Not sure about sites in US

There is one thing you might consider.. Try using the "Comp USA" brand from Comp USA..... I have 10-12 backups on these DVD-R's and they ALL play perfectly....And they a relitively CHEAP.... :cool:

is this 'blankdiskshop' reliable cause i wanna buy dvd's from them but the prices seem too cheep.

£1.10 for traxdata dvd-r's seems alittle cheep cause the forums always recomends them for ps2 'backups'

Craig, I'm sorry to hear about your particular experience with them, you should have taken me up on my offer from a couple of weeks ago.

Bought some Verbatim and they work perfect. Boot everytime. One time i did find out was that 2 of the crappy Memorex DVD-Rs did boot if i laid my PS2 flat and would not if it was in the vertical stand. Verbatim all the way!
