Not that I would use generic crap dvds but I'm curious if I will have issues playing backups depending on the media I end up using. I'm actually going to end up using Verbatim DataLifePlus DVD+R discs

ABSOLUTELY, if you find a dvd that works for backups then stick with them like religion. I had to try a few brands until i finally found one that works and believe it or not they were "generic crap" dvds.

Well it could also have to do with what reguion your from, mines an NTSC and as i said im using cheapo dvds from bargain shop (its like a dollar store) they're called like data ware or something, and it's like 10 bucks for 25.

I have backed up 10 games so far using Verbatim +R discs and not had 1 problem so far so think i will be sticking with them, not a bad price either, payed around £8 for 50 from scan.co.uk

as to "Should you care" Yes I know the wii can read most of the stuff you throw at it and if it works why just buy brand names right? well heres the prob when you buy a pack of DVD-R's look at the side of the DVD-R's do they look even all around or does it look like lightly inconsited mealting plastic and all weird? If so they are very cheap, with these Types of DVD-R's your wii is going to have to use more energy trying to read then the better quality DVD-R's and the more straint you put on the laser the quicker you will burn it out, I personally use TDK and Memorex, they dont sell verbatim where I live so never tried those but have never had any probs with the Memorex and only a couple with TDK's
