I am going to buy a 100 pack of these soon because of the great reviews I have been reading about... I just have a few questions before I make the purchase though.

1 - Do any of you guys do data verification after you burned the dvd (I think Nero and StompMax have this feature)? And if so, does it verify successfully most of the time or better yet ALL of the time (another way to find out I think is if you can re-rip the dvd burned on the RITEKG03 back on to the hard drive)?

2 - Do these work well on Playstation 2's? If not, which version Playstation 2 do you have and what exactly are the problems you encountered?

3 - Those of you with the Pioneer a04/104 drive, how good are these RITEKG03 at 2x? Do they verify correctly at 2x also if they did with 1x. And again do they work well in the Playstation 2 if burned at 2x?

4 - Last question is actually about the Pioneer A04/104 drive. I updated my firmware to 1.32 which does NOT support 2x with the RITEKG03. Can I downgrade the firmware to 1.31 so that I can burn these RITEKG03 at 2x? I know the 1.32 firmware is suppose to fix some overheating issue, but it is to my understanding that this fix was only for 4x dvd-r and 2x dvd-rw media that is coming out soon. However, I don't see how this effects current 2x media at all.

By the way, the reason why I am asking and no just buying a small sample for myself and testing on my dvd players is because I want to see how well it works with all dvd players. I plan on burning dvds for my friends and stuff so I wanna know how good the compatibility is.

THANKS!!!
