hi i was just wandering when it came to making backups od dvd based games and dvd movies which does the ps-2 like and is more likely to play through perfect....i use verbatim(bestbuy) and toyo yuden(online)but my burner burns both -/+ so i normally buy which ever i can find cheaper between the 2...but i have been hearing rumors that ps-2 isnt always friendly with +r/rw is this true cause if so i will only stick to -r/rw...thank in advance for any help you might be able to provide

G*D damn it their goes NERO doing it again!!!

corretc me if im wrong but i can remember tokijin saying that rw do not work with ps2.You should stick to DVD-R only go for DVD+R if it is a good brand.

before i had a burner that could booktype, i used -R's. now that i can bootype, i only use +R's, so that everything can be set to -ROM compatibility.

freakshow, burning alot of games in advance is a bad idea.If you do it wrong or are using the wrong media all those dvd's r crap. I'd wait the few days:)

depends on the brand. most Benq's, Plextors, and Light-On's have the ability, i believe. when you find a burner you're interested, post it, and someone should be able to tell you if it booktypes or not.
