I've got this weird prob... for a month ago i bought a v9 PS2, with the swap discs and slide-card... i then bought from wesellcd.com 10x verbatim dvd-r printable 4x compatible.... i then burnt the games, but with no success... i then bought 10x verbatim dvd+r printable 4x compatible, and voila! they worked!

But that's not the problem.... i pre-ordered a copy of GTA5, and downloaded the game first, i burnt it first on the +R, but the loading was slow and bad... then i burnt it on a -R, and it works perfectly!!

So the prob is: How come the -R didnt work before, but the +R did, and now it's opposite... why? I need a good reason... and it would help if (i know this has been asked alot in the forum) you could tell me which dvd media is the best; +R or -R, and what brand...

Thnx in advance...

DVD-R is more compatable with dvd players and games consoles.
Best one to use? Either Ritek or Taiyo Yuden.
I always use Ritek myself, burned thousands with no problems.
