Please help this frustrated newbie!! I'm about to give up

[Jericho77]

Well, looks like I started a debate. Is it the media or the mod chip? Here is an update that should interest all of you.

I still haven't been able to find Verbatim CD's anywhere around here, but I picked up a pack of Sonys (the blue dyed ones recommeded by GameCopyWorld) at OfficeMax. Every game I have burned on them has booted up and played like a dream.

So, in my case anyway, it seems that the media was the problem.

Thanks again for all of your help
