u ever play backup games on that same media? i agree with the guys above. older ps2 laser worst, slim ps2 laser better, computer laser obviously the best. i burn all my stuff the fastest speed (im impatient) and the cheapest media i can get my hands on (im mad cheap). now i dont buy blank dvd from a garage sale or anything, but i dont pay for riteks (had some and found them less reliable than the memorex i used b4 them). rnm and nero work, but for me, i have had no coasters since switching to dvd decryptor. my best advice: watch the movies on the dvd player if you have one. my friend does the same..ps2 sitting on top of the dvd player, he gets the controls out to watch a movie and waste laser life while preserving his $78 dvd player
