Too bad they don't sell these disks in USA. Ill try with my own cheap media and post results. Nice post, any changes from recommended settings for XGD3?
Can you confirm that you can install the game 100% to your xbox HDD. I've found the burn completes using an iHas with most cheap media but can't actually be read fully by the xbox (XGD3) Thanks,
yeah these disks are good m8 and they will instal fully 100% but i just find them really hard to get a hold of now and im getting verbs much cheaper now but yeah they still work good ive done yours on verbs m8 lol
Cheers buddy, i looked on ebay, can get 10 for a 5er so will purchase some now and use for ISO modding
I would use these disks If I where burning XGD2's but with the newer XDG3's I personally use Verbs, Great Info there pete and should save alot of money, You can get Verbs fairly cheap anyway now.
personally i use cheap tesco discs,they burn perfectly 100% of the time at 6x speed for any type of disc,not had a single bad burn yet and i've gone through at least 6/ pkt's so far
i have been burning with T-gate Dvd's via Ihas324 b with no errors , since the burnermax method camed out
