noticed cheap dvd-media on http://playstationmods.com/

it states that its great for games and movies, I wanna order a heap but I'm not game because of the cheap media skipping probs.

anybody tested these disks with something like Grand Theft Auto 3??
how does it compare to the trusty verbatims and Apple brand disks???

at £1.99 each they look like the go

Regards,
elkay

I ordered twenty from them a couple of weeks ago.
Tested on a version 4 machine using a pioneer a04 and they work ok.
Ver 5 seems to like them better though because of better laser

u tend to find that the ver4 speeds it down to read the neo disks but can manage to play pionner/panasonic and verbatim disks at full speed.

best cheaper disk i ve found is traxdata 10 for £17.99
on my old v4 previuosly fitted neo2.2 now messiah they give no problems whatsoever they perform as well as apple so on

just bought some white label dvdr (£1.25) only tested with dvd films so far but ps2 plays them perfectly
