Question and info on DVD-R media

[Podes25]

Anyone ever try Comp USA brand DVD-Rs? They're pretty cheap (about $3 each) but I don't want to buy them if they will make the PS2 work harder than it has to, or not work at all. Also, Comp has (had?) a sale going on on Verbatim DVD-RWs, $8.99 -20%. Can the PS2 read them? I just picked up a new 3001R ver.5 unit.

Dont count on the ps2 reading any RW media. Sorry.

Both the Verbatim RW's from CompUSA and the Memorex RW's from Best Buy work great on my 30001R unit. All I use, in fact, just in case I get an error in burning.

Still paying double for one disc is useless. I have only had 2 bad burns in over 200 dvd-r's I have burned. Now that I think of it I would have saved twice as much as you if you had burned as much as me.


Its like buying a five point harness for use as a seatbelt in your regular car. Its a bit of overkill.

Just making the point that RW's will work in a PS2. I don't have a lot of games to backup, and since I can get a decent price on the RW's, and use them for other things, that's what I buy.

[TylerDurden]

Understood.


But from what I have heard RW's were not the good choice for all PS2's.

RW's work a treat, ive tested on V1 with Neo2.2 V5 with No-solder and then neo 2.4 also V7 no chip for movies

They workada fine for me!
