Now I bought Memorex -R media, know Memorex is high quality. I know you guys highly reccomend Ridata, but I should be ok with the Memorex right? I mean there +R's work great in my PS2 and the -R work now too, so if it' aint broken don't fix it right, or not?

"Or Not" unfortunately. Just because you can get a brand of dvd-r or +r to read in your ps2. It doesn't mean its doing your ps2 laser any good.

The reason everyone recommends Ritek dye based dvd-r is that these cause the minimum amount of wear to the ps2 laser, maximising the lifespan of yr ps2.

What works fine now might not be so fine in 6 months time!

And as for what cdr media to use, Verbatim datalife plus cdr's every time.
