This was cutting edge tech… I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs…

    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

        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.
