Dvd-r Media..>is it only me?

[Jay_83]

Hi guys,
I've got a v7 ps2 which has always been perfect on dvdr backups (i've been using some datasafe media discs(Blue/white) which I bought months ago and they've always been perfect.

However i ran out of them a month ago so decided to buy some riteks (G03/04) as they seem to be the recommended for ps2.

Anyway since i've been using riteks (White top g03, white top g04 and frosted) i've noticed that loading is a bit longer and games don't seem to play as perfect as my originals.

Anyway i tried the old datasafe and some verbatims and they work perfect. Quiet as hell on the drive with no fuss at all. GTA works perfect as quiet as the original.

The only thing i've noticed is that the purple dye is a lot deeper on the riteks than on the older datasafe and verbatims I have...however my v7 prefers the lighter purple rather than darker.

Hmmmm. Anyone else found this the same? I've always heard darkers better.
