DVD-R or DVR+R

[SurfDrifter]

I recently entered the world os PS2, but I'm not new in the world of DVD±R/RW.

"They" probably are justified saying that DVD-R is definetely the best, because (correct me if i'm wrong) PS2 wasn't supporting DVD+R/RW.

I bought a v9 PAL and in the box it was writting that it supports DVD+R/RW.

I personally have backed-up about 7 games I own and some are DVD+R and some DVD-R. The only common thing they share is that all of them are TDK and burned with Nero 6 or DVD Decrypter, which actually is the same thing, since it utilises the recording engine or Nero.

I have finished all these games using the backups, so both formats performed nice.

Only, in Resident Evil DVD-R i had a problem, which hanged in a specific point, but i re-burned and played fine.

Now, i don't know in the long term if either of the format would be guilty for a potentialy worn laser, but i cannot test that!

The only thing that i can suggest is that everyone should use a very good brand. If using a well-known brand, your PS2 will have an easier task of booting the games, therefore reducing possibilities of a premature worn laser.
