Right, simple explanation.
A HK Silver is a backup made in a professional dvd pressing machine. Yes, you can get dvd9 HK Silvers because you can press dvd9 discs and therefore u can get Xenosaga full unripped back-up on an HK Silver. You cannot make HK Silvers on a dvd burner as a dvd burner does not press dvd's, it burns them and u can only burn 4.7GB dvd's. The reason that HK Silvers r good is because you can make a back-up of a dvd 9 game ( i.e you can get a dual layer HK Silver) however you cannot make hk silvers yourself unless you spend thousands on a dvd pressing machine. Also even 4.7GB HK Silvers have better reflectivity than a dvd-r and should therefore play better in your PS2. Also they are just as illegal as dvd-r copies unless you own the original. They also don't work on unmodded PS2's even though they r exact copies of the originaldue to 'Wobble!!??' Regards to all

Ok i really get it now....thanks a lot ottoman. DVD9's are pressed i already knew....but didn't know about a special machine to press them. How much exactly do they cost and where online can they be bought....just curious....at this exact moment i don't have a few thousand laying around the mansion that i can spare....lol.
Also you answered another question i asked which was are they blanks or pre-made back-ups....so they are pre-made back-ups right? Muy illegaloso si? And they are so special because you can get any game fully buned/ripped/pressed....whatever....to one of these discs?!?! Now i see tha light.....

I always thought that HK silvers were a DVD5, and HK golds were DVD9.

The reason HK silvers are better is that they are pressed. A pressed disc has clear defined grooves and bumps. A burnt cd just has opaque and non opaque sections, that essentially funtion the same way as grooves and bumps on a pressed disc.

--- Sorry can't agree with that statement above.. Not all Pressed Media's are great especially HK's at that.. I hear so many complaints about how they don't boot all the time..I'm sure where and how and what type of media's etc does factor into it and pending on the machine's Laser has to something to with it but just b/c it's pressed doesn't mean it's great..I'm sure they're better than burns but it's not always the case either..
