try it out and save your laser!
PS: try using Ritex G04 dvd-r discs.. they are amazing and at an even betr price!

yes, 98% of my backups is on Ritek G04 dvd-r discs.
I'm going to buy a dvd player not sure when. Gonna move to another town soon so need all money I can spare for that right now.
Gonna run the lenscleaner today. even polish my dvd's and see if that helps.
When it start reading the disc no skipping at all occurs so it seems it just have a little hard time to focus the disc the first time.
even focusing the different menus and stuff takes no time at all.
Hope it will last for awhile more.. can afford to buy a new one yet.
I'm thinking of getting the HDloader instead, then the laser only need to read the hdloader disc. that way the console should be able to last for some time more. or els I just save up for a new one with a matrix infinity in it.
