Out of those three, possibly the Verbs.

What exactly do you want them for - console/movie backup?

There are other (and cheaper) types of media aavailable that some people may say are better.

My current personal favourite is the Datasafe 'Yellow' DVD-R.

Then you most likely had the "cheaper" Riteks, or a BAD batch.....

My Version 7 plays anything from Bulpaq DVDR to Pioneer DVDR.

If you dont mind paying for those Brands then go for them but you dont have to spend that much for good qualuty Compatible DVDR

Bulkpaq absolutely SUCK!!!!#

Firstly they will degrade over time meaning that at first the copy will seam fine but try it a moth or two lata and it will get worse and worse.

Secondly, try backing up GTA Vice City on one and see how well it runs......

Some others to try are, The getaway, Conflict Desert storm, Time Splitters 2, Max Payne.

If u can back all these up and they all load up as quick as the originals and they play perfectly I will eat a 25 cake of Bulkpaq dvd-r's.

Having said that they seam to be okay for movie back-ups but then again dvd movies hardly strech the laser to the limit do they.

Regards

Its just like mod chips....

There is ALOT of media out now that say "Ritek"......

Unfortunately, not all of them are the top quality ones.....

TRUE "G03" is great.......

I have only seen 2 people with some bad batches of genuine G03's.....

I haven't found a disc yet that works as good as Ritek..... (No matter what you use them for )

LOL

Nah, it just that when I first got into burning dvd's I was sucked in by the fact that bulkpaq seemed to back up and play games fine but they were simple stuff like tekken 4. Soon as u put anything complicated on them u get problems.

Besides, even if they don't back up ps2 games too good, they taste nice!!!! Certainly taste alot better than verbs!
