Hi i got a messiah on my ps2. And i bought a hk silver dvdr thing off my game supl;ier. Metal gear 2. It looks just like an original so damn good looking. And yet cheap. Where can i get them from as my supplier is a bit slow in getting games early. Thanks. like from honk kong.

btw is apple dvdr good,? i got ffx on it it makes too much noise.

they are cheap reproductions factory-pressed to look like the real thing.. you still need a modchip though.. typically made in china, HK or malaysia.

check the buy sell trade forums here, plenty of people sell them, some direct from asia

hk silvers are hard to get hold of, but hen you do they are always quite good qulity

normaly branded media are the best try another suplyer to get better qulity

they are good but when you compare prices of the silvers to the prices of the DVD-Rs that people sell on the boards, its just better to get the DVD-Rs cuz itll most likly get to ya faster and you will be able to try to get a replacement if its damaged in shipment.

Just my 2pennies worth but....

I have never had trouble with a silver that wasnt fixed by the dealer (ie replaced) and my laser seems to read silvers easier than dvd-r, even some burnt on apple media load slower than my silvers! if u find a cheaop dealer or go and buy by yourself in asia then they are the way to go.
