I use the Ritek media its just that i still have problems with some games but i was thinking that sometimes the disk is a bit scratched so if i read it at 1x it would be better. The reason i think this is because i put the same game onto my ps2 harddrive and it stopped at the same place but when i clean the disk and re install it it sometimes works depends if i get any errors so do you think reading at 1x will be better?
