After all of the posts going on about how bad princo discs are and how they deterioriate quickly I decided to stop buying princo media and switch to Taiyo Yuden. I only have a few backup xbox games on princo media, should I reburn them onto the Taiyo Yuden media or will they last?

Also discussed here was how if a a burnt dvd has a pi error rate of around 800 then it should be unreadable. I conducted a test of a few of my game backups with nero cd/dvd speed and the number of pi errors averaged around 800 for each disc and the number of pi failures was very high as well. Yet the games still play perfectly fine on my xbox with a philips drive. Two games however froze twice each while I played through them.(The Suffering and Advent Rising) The Suffering froze on two random spots and didn't refreeze on the same spot when I rebooted the game. Advent Rising froze twice on the same spot but that game is reported to be highly buggy and have issues with lockups. Does anyone have any explanation?
