Guest Greg Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Memorex or TDK Electronics are the best choice by far, great value for a great product.I've also seen the XBox 360 at a roadshow in the UK. There was 3, 2 were networked to the internet and connected to a Demonstration server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'd go for the Verbatim. Never had a bad disk, and the 8x that I purchased were able to burn at 12x.Datawrite, Bulkpaq and TDK aren't bad either. Been using Datawrite's "Titanium" range. Absolutely amazing, good quality media! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 There is alot of choice out there today, and its 'gotta be said some DVD-R's are great but expensive and sometimes the cheap DVD-R's are actually alot more efficient and perform better.

Guest Greg Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Well, DEA (Disk Evaluator Anaylization) ... or however you spell it was the name your looking for. Older versions of CD-R's displayed processes of information that would take place whether your CD-R you wished to create was long or too many songs on.I've also, never had Diskrot before either, and I'm not quite sure what it is, but I've also not failed to mention I did have about 615MB on my system once when I downloaded a whole Macromedia website, yes the whole thing. I only had 8GB left at the time and it drained it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
