where did u.......
 

where did u get this ifo from? 1. have u got an xbox? 2 have u got a dvd-writer?3. there is no writer capable of writing beyond 4.7 gigs 3. these games are 8 gigs, so u need to rip just 2 get them onto a dvdr. i think its a stupid idea and you should keep to a ps2. its got a more wide varioty of games out for it and it has been chipped and copyied.

so what u say now u smart bugger?

give the guy a break faz..he's just trying to be helpful:(

Ive had a ps2 for 8 months now with as you say a variety of games.....Ive had the xbox 10 days with just 4 games....and I can honestly say the ps2 hasnt seen the light of day since march 14th....I have a dvd burner and as you rightly say, the games will have to be ripped to 4.7gb (4.3gb actually) b4 we can contemplate back ups for the xbox...but Im sure some bright spark will sort it...as is the case with 8gb movies from blockbusters....heres hoping anyway.

to faz2002, i say keeping to a ps2 is a bad idea, though i'm not saying i don't like ps2's, i just think that xbox's are better. Anyway, you'll have to worry a bit more, because i forgot where i got the format info from.

The new dvd writer from pioneer can write up to 9,4 gb.

:confused: What new Pioneer writer are you talking about????
The A04 is the updated A03 and even it can only write 4.7... Please let me know WHAT WRITER will write that HIGH.... I'LL BUY IT TODAY!!!!!!!:cool:

He talking about the dvdram machine...thats about as much use as a pork sausage at a jewish wedding
