Which is best for backing up ps2 games?

Hi I want to start backing up my ps2 games and I need to get a cd burner.

On this site you guys say pioneer a03/a04/a05 but I can't seem to find these except I can get pioneer a06. Is this good too whats the difference?

Also I'm thinking of using a plextor because I've never had problems with my cd burner so I doubt I'd have problems with the plextor dvd burner.

Is plextor good for burning ps2 games? It writes at 8X and I was wondering if I could burn ps2 games at 8X without having reading problems from the ps2?

Thanks and I appreciate your patience.

Any DVD burner you get should be fine. I'd recommend a -R burner or -+R burner like the AO6 you mentioned.

I havent even seen any 8x media. I'm sure companies are holding back on that. And I dont think y ou can find the 4x's because they arent making them anymore. DVD Burn technology seems to be coming fast fast fast.

Plextor burners are top drawer. I use a 48x Plextor CD-R Burner - and not one coaster!

I use a Pioneer DVD-R burner and likewise, never gave me a problem.

So in conclusion, both drives are great, so it really is your choice!

Ur best gettin a cd burner as well. I have a pioneer 106 which is also a good cd burner as well as a dvd burner but in order to prolong its life I only use it for burnin dvd's. I picked up a liteon 52X32X52 for £25 (cheap compared to price of dvd burner) an use that to burn cd's.
