    I normally go for anything that uses th Ritek G05 dye, but if I cant find any of them I use Verbs.

    I had read error trouble with Mario Kart on a taio yuden -R but it worked perfectly on Verb +R.

    Has anyone got any advice on whether '+R' or '-R' perform any better.
    I've seen the Ritek -R here http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(27220)...e-50-Pack.aspx
    or they have the Verbs that are +R and can only be written at 6x here. http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(9874)V...Printable.aspx

    So which would be the more reliable choice ?

    Thanks.

    I find most Wii's prefer G04 to G05 dye, but these are hard to find now (fortunately I have a couple of hundered of the purple Ridisc G04's still)..... but on my old wii, it likes the orange packed Verb -r's which are a MCC 03RG20 dye...the wii seems to hunt around a lot less on them, and they are currently on offer for Ģ14.99 for a hundered at Maplins.

    I buy any old shit and burn at 2x, not had one coaster yet.

    And bear in mind my 3 year old uses the Wii a fair amount, ejecting DVD's dropping on the floor etc and all still work.
