And make sure you get the ones made in Singapore P/N: 95123 don't get caught with Verbatim's Indian crap.

ritek/ridata work fine for me...

but make sure you are not trying to play non-stealth games with an ixtreme fw

**Woodstock** · 19-05-08, 04:48 PM

grr ! now getting clean disk error ..god damn brand new disks ..cleana s whistle !

**Ljay** · 20-05-08, 07:22 PM

Could be other things:
1) Burner
2)360 drive....I find HLG 0047 very picky
3) Settings on burner....ensure book-type is correct(not required on Pioneer)

**Woodstock** · 20-05-08, 07:42 PM

Pioneer 108 dvd burner
found out was currupt image that why keep getting dirty disk error !
HLG 0047 <--- think that same as I have ...

**Ljay** · 20-05-08, 07:46 PM

0047 were the early Hitachi drives....mine is the same & some games are burnt perfect & work in BenQ/ Samsung, but the 0047 will not have a bar of it......so ye having Verb's is important if u have this drive.

**nsdn** · 20-05-08, 09:46 PM

Yup my hitachi is also really fussy, but TDKs actually work fine with it, as do Verbatims. mixed result with Ritek.

I have tried TDK in all drives, BENQ, sammy, and it seems to work OK, that said I would still go Verbatim.

Like most Laser products they might burn ok but they wont last long. Wait 6months and see if you can read them then.

Verbatim is the most reliable for me, Ritek does work but one of my 360's dosnt run with Ritek.

No one can sell them flashed and ready to go as each drive needs to be flashed with your specific key.
I havnt seen any BenQ for sale but the Samsung were around a while ago. You can get one and extract the key from your Hitachi and spoof it onto the Samsung.
