lol, i can just imagine what price it would be, especially in my country Smile. Verbatim DL Silver is 3 euros here, DL RW will be at least 10-15 euros at least.

well look at it this way if verb will finally decide to make DL+RW all u need is one disk and huge ass HDD, so if game is crap or u bored with it just rewrite it Very Happy

and then again if 360 will scratch a bit your 10-15 euro disk [like it does sometimes] u will lose perfectly good 3-5 verbs

so here it is if it will cost at least 6 euro i will get it, all i'm looking for is that they drop those ridiculous prices on single DL's which are pathetically expensive comparing to regular 4.7gig ones
in fact they are 10 times more expensive than regular dvd's, which is pathetic Embarassed

I would do that... I rarely play games over.

Bought a 5 pack Vebs... god damn expensive here. Found them cheaper after some searching, but at this webshop you get a free candy when you buy stuff!!2

So if the price wont be to fucking high, i would rather have 2-3 rewritable.

Mortibus U got the point, and DL is very very expensive, i agree with that too Sad. I mean, c'mon, HD DVD and Blue Ray is already here, cut the price for DL at least 20%

the only reason for that is 360 i'm telling ya

i mean even blue-ray has RW and it's practically new format, where is DL is more than 2 years old almost at the same price it was in the beginning

question is will u need new burner for that or old ones that can burn DL's can do the trick with simple fw update

Site says you probably just will need to flash to a newer FW

What is it with people & verbs, ..what does a verb do that any other disc doesn't ..let me see erm ...does it make your game play better than anyone else's lol ...erm NO. are games made with a magical verb mode that enhances it? erm ...NO. Don't give me the crap that your data will last 30 years longer, cause by then you won't even remember the disc ...get a grip there's more to life than verbs.. god you folks crack me up!!!!

Well tbh, I have tried a few different kinds of discs for my burner & xbox 360 combo and the only ones I had no problems with were the verbatims. I can't tell you why but that's just how it is.

I had some very bad experiences with Verbatims in the last couple of years. My PS2 and Xbox can't read them but for Xbox 360 they are ok. Sometimes I have choppy movies, DREs or strange noises but not very often. I'm quite sure though that there are some DLs which are at least as good as Verbatims if not better. I guess it always depends on your drive.
