Has anyone tried Princo DVD-R's on PS2???
Does anyone know if Princo DVD-R's will play on PS2's alright???
I've seen Princo DVD-R's fairly cheap and would like to look into purchasing those, but want to know people's experience's with Princo DVD-R's and PS2's.... Please, spare no detail. Cheers.

I tried a few princos backing up Medal of Honour PS2 game. Using Primo DVD and Nero, all burnt at 1x speed. I experienced skipping throughout the game.
I now only use Traxdata DVD-R for PS2 backups, they are also fairly cheap and work perfect.

So far all I have used for burning are white-top Princo's and they play fine for movies and so far all my games. Keep in mind my system is fairly new (v5 ntsc USA/CAN) and is kept in pristine condition. Also, I have only been burning DVD's for about 10 days so I can't comment on long term use.

Vast difference between the newer consoles (v7) and the older ones for reading Princo. My guess is that guy has a v4 console or below.
My experience has been both Xbox and v7 PS2 will read Princo media no problem. They can be had for dirt cheap (less then $0.60/disc if you buy in big qtys) at allmediaoutlet.com.

Princo seems to have quality control issues....
I picked up a 25pk ( 5 boxes of 5 w/jewels ) off of ebay. The first couple worked ok... MK  eadly Alliance has some skipping problems during movies.I got to the 3rd box, and so far 3 of them were BAD discs. Errored out during writing ( a05 drive using RecordNow Max ). It was NOT a buffer underrun error either. The media just crapped out. I have a v7 PS2 btw. Not sure if maybe I just got a bad batch, but I think it's worth the extra for TDK/Verbatim quality. I wouldn't mind trying some of the supposedly perfect Traxdata, but nobody ships them to the USA. Go figure.

They're different.
If you get them from certain suppliers (allmediaoutlet, for example), they'll be the white top, branded kind. Ebay sellers (99% of them) are selling something different. Princo MAKES media for a *lot* of people. You'll see things like "DVD-R Made By Princo", or "DVD-R by Princo" in the description that lets you know you're getting one of their OEM deals. *I*, personally, have not had an issue. I bought a 50 pack from allmediaoutlet, and I've burned... 24 of them so far. Probably 2/3 are X-Box games, and 1/3 are PS2 games - not a single one has failed on me. (Pioneer A-04 writer, Xbox 1.0 w/Thompson drive and PS2 v7 NTSC). Equally, though, I had success with the Pioneer media that came with the drive, when some people said they didn't. There are posts on xbox-scene.com with people having problems with Verbatim (and Ebayed Princos as well, incidentally) - your mileage may vary. The difference is that, at less than $1 per disc, the Princo isn't horribly expensive if you end up getting a less-than-perfect success rate. Spend more on the Verbatims and have THEM fail, and you'll be pissed.  Your mileage may vary.

The NEW Riteks are AWESOME..... They are less expensive than Princos (which is hard to beleive) , and use the SAME dye as Traxdata..... BUT BE WARNED..... Ritek operates the same as Princo. They make hundreds of different discs...
