the issue with this game is a combination of laser and media. it has nothing to do with whether or not you swap with a dvd5. in fact, swapping with a dvd5 wont get you anywhere. the problems experienced by users is the green screen disc read error. it happens occasionally and is easily solved by just ejecting the disc and putting it back in. the real problem comes in when you try to play online. if you ever get a green screen error while connected to the wi-fi network, you get disconnected and have to go through reconnecting and rejoining a room etc. etc. now with that aside...
i tried burning this game 3 times. twice with imgburn once with nero. every burn was at 2.4x.
my discs are verbatims, MADE IN INDIA
first burn, IMGBurn and layerbreak set to the cyclowiz one (whatever it is): game worked fine and had green screen errors.
second burn: IMGBurn and layerbreak auto, game worked fine and had green screen errors.
third burn: Nero. just decided to burn and see what would happen. game would not boot: gave me an error 001 or something (black background, white letters. i put in a previous burn and swapped with the Nero burn and that disc worked fine too, with green screen errors.
these are discs that i use for my 360, which i regret buying, and which i got a full refund for from Newegg. They are not the MADE IN SINGAPORE verbatims that are actually good discs. the MADE IN INDIA discs have idfficulty burning and i frequently get power calibration errors or random write errors. fortunately there were only 20 in the batch and i'm down to like 5 of them. thank goodness for terrific customer service from newegg too.
i bet if i were to clean my laser i would see some improvement. i'm using a DMS wii.
i'm too lazy/nervous to do that though so i'm probably just going to go to bestbuy today and buy a single verbatim disc, assuming it is MADE IN SINGAPORE. or taiwan i guess. anything but India.
i could also get memorex i suppose, but i just dont trust that company. didnt they just opt out of making media too? i dunno. maybe some of you guys can suggest a disc i can buy over at bestbuy if they dont have the non-india verbatim. i don't really want to buy more than a single disc, or at most a 3 disc pack. just wanna spend under 10 bux if possible. lemme know!
