Hey guys

I'm kind of a newbie here, only been doing this for a couple months, but I wanted to bring something to your attention.

The following games won't play correctly when burned:

Kane and Lynch: Dead Men (Freezes after the "start game" screen, after it's done loading)
Eternal Sonata (Freezes before title screen)

I've tried both several times, maybe it's my burner, but neither fresh backup would work.  I'm also not sure if it could be the source media (original disc).

Prey didn't even read.

Also, I'm writing here to inform the community about a fairly good deal on media from Office Depot.  The first time it was on sale, a 15 pack of Memorex for $15.  I grabbed it, inquired about the return policy, and they told me 14 days.  Okay fine, worst case scenario is I make another trip to Office Depot, pretty much down the street.

I got 5 good burns, one crappy burn that was my fault, one failed halfway through, and the rest failed optimum power calibration.

So I brought it back, they said they could either do an exchange with me paying the difference ($15 for a new pack, since it was no longer on sale and now twice the price), or they could refund my money.  I decided that $30 for 10 good ones at this rate, so I said I'd do that.  I'm 3 games into my next pack and haven't had a problem with it.

The Kane and Lynch non-working burn was from the first pack, and the Eternal Sonata non working one was from a Verbatim DVD.

Honestly I have nothing bad to say about Office Depot or their product.  And no, I don't work there =D

Hopefully this helps somebody out, because I've gotten a lot of help from this site in the few months I've been around.

Thanks,
Mike
