    its disc quality m8 .. if its a fast game it uses the disc all the time they can do that .. ie fifa10 has to be on a good disc or backed up to the hard drive

          My guess as its a brand new box, then it will be a liteon drive. Aone dvdr+dl work really well with this drive. They are about ?5 FOR 10 SO also cheap.

          Buy Aone Dual Layer DVD+R - 10 Pack? from CCL - Online Retailer of the Year 2008, 2007 & 2006 for laptops, desktops and computer hardware

                Yeah hitachi drives can be a pain sometimes with aone discs, liteons and benqs should be ok with them, some samsung drives prefer the verbs but at nearly ?30 for 25, i'd rather but a liteon off of ebay

                          I'm going to that shop today for a new motherboard. I will get a pack of those discs today. If you want me to let you know krazy shout me a pm

                          @cgscott i had a really bad experience with diskdepot about 12 months ago with a ciss i bought from them on ebay. Wont have anymore dealings with them, their customer support stinks.
