I remember buying a stack of CDs only to find out they were +R, not -R, and this utterly useless (or something like that, can’t specifically recall whether ±R/RW).
Can you believe my original ps1 is still rocking hard with zero adjustments?
My ps2 is currently dead, but it was because I used thicker wire than necessary when modding it a thousand years ago and I need to just heat up the solder a bit.
That console is a nightmare to disassemble/reassemble though and it’s been down for around 15 years. I’ll fix it one day.
I remember the funny lines on the back when I accidentally bumped into the tower or had the subwoofer on as it was burning.
Also holding down on the close-pin on a discman (so it would keep spinning the disc) and differently coloured sharpies were a great way to colourize your collection.

Remember how when you would burn a CD you couldn’t use your computer lest the write buffer dropped too low and the burn world fail?

There were no CD+Rs
I remember this being a DVD thing. By the time I got a dvd burner though mine supported both.
The RW issue with CDs was that a lot of older players couldn’t read them.
I damaged the laser on a PS2 by using a DVD-RW. They’re harder to read than a normal disc apparently, so it wore the laser down pretty quick

Or trying to re-burn a cdrw but it was originally not burnt with the same soft as yours 😓
