what version PS2 do you have? (need help? (http://www.psx-paul.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ps2versionreference.htm))

v5 and after your laser should have no problems (so I am told)
v4 and below your laser more than likely will not read them

If your burner will write a dvd+rw disc it will (or should) write a dvd+r.....

They do make a burner that will do 4 of the formats...(-R,-RW,+R,+RW) Sony DRU-500a....

The ONLY drive that will burn all 4 is the Sony DRU-500A......

The HP drives won't, the Pioneer drives won't......

ONLY THE SONY DRU-500A........

I've heard a few good things about the Toshiba.....

You may also want to check out the new Cendyne burner..... It is IDENTICAL to the Pioneer A05..... And they cost alot less....

:confused: Please use periods. You are difficult to understand without them. Search ebay for the dvr-104. It is a great drive and dirt cheap now. Or you can buy it from jazztechnology (http://shop.store.yahoo.com/jazztechnology/piondv1xinei1.html) for $211.
