used a new disc

Post by Jesc »

Hey guys I just wanted to let you know that since I flashed my 360 (again, thanks to everyone here that helped me out with it) I've been making back-ups of all of my games and the other day I ran out of verbatim so I decided to give this generic brand windata a try. Now these are $13 at my local MiroCenter fo a 20 pack. They've been great for making dvds, using them as additional storage, etc. They are only about 2/3 the thickness of the verbatim so i've never even considered them for the 360. Well I only had NCAA football 09 left to back-up I barely play it so I gave it a go with the windata since they're only about 65 cents and not 2 dollars. I haven't had any problems with it at all. I played around 10 games with it then installed it to the hdd and played a few more that way. I'm not going out on a limb and recommending these discs to use everyday but it seems that they will work. I will test them out on a few more games but I just wanted to let everyone know because I've read in a few places that people have trouble finding verbatim or they are too expensive to buy regularly. BTW my drive is a lite-on with ixtreme 1.6 and the burner I used was just a $20 pioneer I found at MicroCenter.
