The Ritek G05 -R's suck IMO. I had burned a backup of DBZ Budokai 3 onto one and not only was the gameplay very slow on my brother's V7 PS2, but the game action and the audio was out of sync! Doing a special move on one of my characters and the related audio for that effect didnt happen until a second later. And at one point the audio cut out on the overworld screen. Same problem happened on my V4 as well.

But when I did the same burn on a G04 disc, I had no problems whatsoever. Sure it took slightly longer to read the disc but i didnt have anymore audio/game action sync problems afterward. Its obvious that my PS2's didnt like the G05's at all.

So I stuck with the G04's for my game backups, but I still use the G05's for my DVD movie backups, which works fine in my standalone players.
