I hear that using crappy brands can damage the PS2 laser, so I was wondering what the best brand out there is. I hear good things about Verbatim, and the FAQ says to burn at 2.4x speed, but I wanna know your thoughts.
jinnpan said:I always use Taiyo Yuden Made in JAPAN brand. I get the from RIMA.COM. If you get this brand make sure they are real Taiyo Yuden, some shops sell fake/counterfeit Taiyo Yuden Media.
I have several backups that are 8 years old and work great on my 1 day one launch PS2 system.
Just make sure you update the burners firmware.
Taiyo Yudens are hard to find in europe, and even if you did it would be so much money $63 for a pack of 100, no joke!, the only good alternatives left is verbatim and sonys

also, i do not trust any other brand than verbatim. they have been so good to me

You're getting ripped off if you're paying that much for them. 100 x8 can be had for as little as £15 and x16 can be gotten for £23 ($24 & $36), that's just plain unbranded stuff. If you don't mind it being branded, you can get JVC x16 (taiyo yudens) for £18 for a pack of 100.
