I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that memorex DVD+R's 8x are horrible for burning games, ps2 games, and, well, pretty much every everything. I'm just giving my two cents on my awful experience with this crap media after seeing that 30 of the 40 PS2 games and 40 of the 70 Movies I've copied don't seem to work anymore! Even more, there is this awful red colored stain on the top of each DVD in which i'm guessing is the deteroriation of the cheap-quality dye that memorex uses for their media. Well, just wanted to vent a bit and see what the next DVD+ or -R's i should be getting. Verbatim DVD-r 8x sounds appealinga t the moment. Anyways, tell me your experiences with Memorex DVD+R's! :).

I am not gonna touch the Memorex issue, as I have never used that brand (Thank God). I will, however, recommend Taiyo Yuden (which can be found for unbeatable prices at Supermediastore.com), Verbatim (which you already know about), and Maxell (Made in Japan)...

Sell it on Ebay! Yeah, no person should be subjected to this poor media, but shizit happens. I did this with TDKs (coded out as CMC).
