I should probably do more research...so flame away, if you choose.

That is an excellent brand of DVD's! The only other thing I'd suggest is to get the 8X and not 4X, but that also depends on what works on your PS2 and what speeds you can burn with your DVD player.

i figured since i'm always told to burn it as slow as possible (i think my burner's max is 4x, anyway), that i should just get the slower kind?

Thanks for the input.

Yeah, those will be fine. General rule of thumb is to burn it at half the speed of the disc (2X).

Good luck and enjoy! You won't regret using TY!

I just bought the TY's in my sig, and I've burned about 15 games = no problems.....


heres a question for the pros, do you think the shiny silver kind and the printable surface kind have a diffrence in final burn quality?

I've never tried the printable surface kind, but have heard some people say they have problems using them with games.

will those dvds work on my dvd burner? How do I know if they'll work with it? I see in the reviews that someone had a problem with that...

That's the dvd burner I have.

Thanks.
