8ruc1e Apr 14, 2003, 09:38 AM Just wondered if anyone had tried them yet ? autoloader Apr 14, 2003, 05:35 PM read on other boards that they are good.............for video and data at 4x speed. BUT it's early days, bulkpaq seem to have no standards, so I'll wait a while to see if they return to they're shitty standards. jesterrace777 Apr 15, 2003, 02:17 AM Bulqpaqs are reported to be getting better but, I won't touch them becuase they don't compare to Ritek for compatibility (Riteks are what I use) and the stories I have heard of bulqpaqs flaking and falling apart after less than a year of use makes uneasy. It's worth it to spend the extra money and play it safe in my opinion. pnu Apr 15, 2003, 04:04 AM Ive tried them and they work in my A04 @ 2x, but the way i got to use them was a mate purchased a 25 tub and when he tried burning them in his A05 @4x he created coasters @2x he created coasters but @1x they worked ok. He's now gone back to using either masters or trax, I personally would stick with ritek based disks for overall compatability. slikmik Apr 15, 2003, 04:46 AM I USE BULKPAQ 4X PEACH COLOURED ,NOT 1 COASTER OUT OF 100 PS2,XBOX & FILMS richjon Apr 15, 2003, 12:14 PM used both ritek 4 times and the new buupaq orange 4 times and to my amazement the bullpaqs boot up quicker in my ps2 by upto 3 secs. i will definately buy some more but also still buy the old faithful riteks aswell ANDY.G Apr 15, 2003, 01:26 PM bought a pack of bulkpaq orange tops at wk end, burned quite a few films now at x4 and they all worked fine, not sure wot they'd be like for games though. richjon Apr 15, 2003, 03:13 PM tried on xbox and ps2 games with no probs ShIfTeR101 Apr 15, 2003, 05:42 PM where in the uk online can you buy the bulkpaq 4x ?? lmk Matt richjon Apr 15, 2003, 06:57 PM http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/ celtic_druid Apr 16, 2003, 06:09 AM Moving this to CoOp. theargyspy Apr 16, 2003, 07:41 AM got two samples of this disc last week,both worked perfectly at four speed & played in both my standalones perfectly,so i ordered 50 from svp they arrived yesterday,and surprise,surprise,they only burn at two speed and out of 10 discs burnt I have made 3 coasters,these discs are crap:furious: Argy slikmik Apr 18, 2003, 02:15 AM suprised at that m8,what writer u got ? i have the 105 now gone thru 250 of these without 1 coaster,not lost anything theargyspy Apr 18, 2003, 02:41 AM Sony DRU 500U latest firmware 2.0e from the research i have since done on this disc seems some people are getting no probs,but the quality of the batches seems to vary a great deal I contacted SVP and as usual there customer service is second to none,they replyed within a hour and send out 50 Ritek to replace them ,and a freepost addy to return the rest of these orange disasters.i for one will not touch these discs ever again:tdown: Argy danman Apr 18, 2003, 07:17 AM Theres a 2.0f fw avail now, not related to this subject but thought I'd let you know. Might work better :-) theargyspy Apr 18, 2003, 12:14 PM thanx danman,will go look for it,cheerz Argy |
