Here are my thoughts on the subject sure Verbatims are good,but media is just a fraction to success.You have to take into account the burner you use as well to get the best results.I would have to agree Verbs MII are crap though,because everywhere I look people have been giving them bad reviews.I haven't used Sony DL media,but I have used Verbs and I think we all need a good manufacturer for DL media.I will have to check into Sony DL media and see what the results are like is there anything I should be looking for when getting them.I don't like memorex either and I've used them for PS2,but the discs don't last for a long time.I've tried out memorex,maxell,tdk,sony,verbatim,ridata etc...for Dvd-5 discs.I got bad results from verbatim for Dvd-5 discs awhile ago,probably fake verbs as the whole 50 cake box was bad.The best results I have had came from sony media,but I'm also using a sony burner as well.What I'm trying to say is the burner you have can create different results as well,and some burners are picky about media.

go to the sams club website if you are a member they are right on their site, i buy the same deal from them as wabashman, since he told me about it 6 months ago. as for memosucks... well, the name says it all, sure things are dandy now, but down the road dont come crying that your laser is burnt out and you are getting this message "unable to read disc" i would says odds are somewhere around 1/75 360s will not have their laser burnt out due to poor media.

Hey homesick what type of burners are you and wabashman using,because I'm about to get a new burner real soon as well.I know where a Sams Club is,but never actually been there more than once or twice.I would like to get a Blu-Ray burner,but I might wait until they become cheaper and perform better before buying one.I have been looking around and Pioneer has been the best to get for Xbox 360 burns,and from reading up on Pioneer burners it seems as though the new models they are producing aren't as good as the older models(111D,112D etc...).It would be a good idea to list off what burner you have though,and media you use because I'm being honest it can produce different results.

You guys pay for the premium, but if non-premium works just as well, why bother?
i feel u, i tried Office Depot Discs and they work fine too ... didnt know what the big deal about Verbatims was ...
Until i checked the quality of the discs in this site:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
I checked the memorex's i was usin and it came up as 2nd class media (may even have been 3rd), and the office depot that "worked just as good as the verbs" was the worst discs i could use ...
yeah Memorex is great for PS2, along with a few other brands - but keep in mind we are burning PS2 games on single layer discs; so we cant gauge our opinions from that since were talkin about a completely diffrent product from the dual layers we need for the 360 ...
so as it stands, the only 1st class Dual Layer discs on the consumer market are Verbatims ... its worth the couple extra cents ...

Well trust me when I say this,but memorex even for PS2 won't last as long as 1st class media.I've had to reburn about 20 or so memorex over the course of a year or more.I've used Verbatims as well for PS2,but it all depends on the media code.When buying any type of media the code is a good thing to check as it will tell you where the dye on the disc came from or even customers experience with them from other sites.When it comes to Dvd-5 Taiyo Yuden are really good,but when it comes to DL media I guess Verbatims are the best choice from what I can tell.If they keep producing MII(made in indonesia)then I'm gonna have to say Verbatim has lost its spot for best DL media.It would be a good idea to find a secondary or even another decent quality manufacturer that is atleat close to the Verbs MIS(made in singapore)as another option.I'm always open to change what type of media is the best to use,but its clearly Verbs MIS at the moment for me atleast.I will have to try out Sony DL media and see how well it does before passing judgement.

sorry for the delay in reply. but i used to have the 111d and hate it now. it only lasted for about a year, and it didnt go through that many burns, maybe 150 or so before it started being crap. now i have a samsung shl-dh3 or something like that and it works great. its seen about 250 360 burns, and about 300 movies or so and has only spit out one bad 360 burn and that was because i didnt check the game with mulleter to see that i only ripped the iso not the pfi dmi crap.
