Californiadad Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Whats better for burning xbox games??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ice-Man Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 DVD-R. I had a long run of mostly good burns with Datawrite Yellows a while back, only getting a dud every so often, however on reflection the read times of said burnt DVDs were sometimes not great. Recently I've had a run of back luck with Verbatim printable tops. Not sure what's going on with the Verbatims, some will burn and play perfectly, with much better read times than the Datawrites, but for some of them they'll burn the image fine, and XBMC will read the DVDs, but when it comes to lauching the game the xbox resets. Very odd, and very annoying. I hate having to throw DVDs away. Buy whatever brand you trust and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It really depends on the drive. Mine will only read +r. Just have to try a few different ones to find what work for you drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ice-Man Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 That's odd. Writable media is such a fickle thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Ice-Man Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I run all my games off the hard drive now coz I didn't like the poor load times of some of my burnt games, and I also didn't like how some orignals spin constantly really loudly. My orignal copy of Hitman Blood Money does that, always spinning and louder than normal. Annoyed the hell out of me so I copied it over and never used the original disc again. But it's good to have working backups of all your games, in case the worst happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brizad77 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Don't mean to revive an older post but wanted to add I've actually had better luck with +R...but could just be my burner. Got a larger hd installed, so probably just play off it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
