Hi all thanks for reading the following :)

Datasafe Pro (Taiyo Yuden) 8x DVD-R INK JET PRINTABLE

Ok so you all say that Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim are the best medai right?

Now are the latter a model and they release different makes i,e datasafe.

I have seen panasonic and a few more labeled as Taiyo Yuden disks. Now are these cheap rip offs or the real deal??

Also then there are differenbt surfaces to most disk. Some say shiny silver and others say a different surface,

Really what I am asking is where to get the disks from at the best prices. Would appreciate a few links to my pm box if its allowed.

Thanks all.

Look at this one then.

What I have read is that Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are 2 differnt disks. This seller on ebay has over 80000 feedback which means they must be good???

Thaks mate. Your a star.

What does unbranded mean??

Also I am able to rent out games and back them up right?

Oh and can I buy usa/jap games and play them? because I dont see an option for jap or do I select NTSC for them too?

Sorry for so many Q's but im new to the ps2 mods lol.

would you recommend these?

These are vertabim 16x and 8x are the same price. Also can get free delivery if I get cases.

Just wondering what you thinks.

Thanks for all your help man. Really appreciate it!!

as long as they are REAL Verbatims i would say go with the 8X DVD-R and you should be just fine, and get rid of those god aweful Memosux
They are the worst. They are harder on you PS2 laser as well.

I would ask around for a site that sells to the UK that other people buy their discs from. That way you can be sure you are getting
genuin Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim DVD's

With Memorex i would just say it is temporary luck.
The dye is cheap so i would not expect the back ups to last a real long time, and they are much harder on your PS2 laser than a quality brand would be. So it could also cause the laser to burn out prematurely. So when you get the new discs i suggest doing another copy of those Memosux games and putting them on the good media your getting just to be safe.
Happy Burning :)
