So which one? Very Happy

Gonna run into town today and pick some up, but I have the choice of -R (10 for 350kr) or +R (10 for 160kr) - obviously the cheaper ones would be better, as I could buy 20 for the price of 10, but what format does the 360 - specifically the Liteon 7xxx - prefer?

Thanks guys.

+R obviously, -R might not be as reliable besides being old

Yeah, there's + and -R Verbs. Anyway, I *think* I just found a nice supplier. 25 cake of Verb +R for 330kr, definitely a bargain! Shame it's online only, but it's a Norwegian store so it should be relatively fast delivery.

Sorry, I fail to understand: Can you still burn an XBOX360 iso onto a DVD MINUS R?
Will it work?
Or not at all?
I'm asking because I have no Plus R but some Doublelayer Minus R flying around. Wink

You can burn to -R (I used to do it) but apparently +R are better quality.

I might be crazy or things have changed, but I was under the impression that D/L DVD-R could not set a custom layer break?
