Verbatim If I find em cheap. Mainly Maxcell. I get them cheaper ( more than 50% less than Verbs) and in the last 2 years I may have coastered 2 disks but the error was on my part. I burn 8X or 10X with no trouble..
nope but I use memorex and verbatim here and I haven't had a coaster yet
btw, I have always burned at the fastest speed available though everyone says to go as slow as possible (for weak lasers I guess)Aone disks are good been using them a while now and only have had 1 error out of a spindle of 100, but then again that was my old crappy burner
Hp and Verbatim. HP's I have had 2 coasters out of the 15-20 I burned and they are about 1/2 the price of verbs.
So a good blank DL is one that can be burned with no error...
A poor quality DL can damage the xbox laser?

I use memorex most of the time. They are cheaper locally. I average about 1 coaster every 2 spindles.
So again any blank is good for use?

all DL writeable discs do harm to the laser in the long run, as they are harder to read, but not in a particularly measurable way......I wouldn't worry about discs wrecking ur laser
The quality of blank media comes down to the DYE used in the manufacturing of the disk. Verbatim disks are the preferred choice as they have the best quality DYE to suit the red laser in the xbox dvd drives.
The disk cannot damage the laser directly as there isn't any physical contact between them. The damage to the laser is caused because it (the laser) has to work harder to read the back-up media.
Therefore most peeps will advise you to buy the Verbatim disks as they put less stress on the laser.
Hope this helped you to understand the issue...

I used Memorex when I started I was cheap but I got two cake boxes of bad discs burned every one out of a hundred none were good switched to verbs and an occasional yuden all good on the western front pretty much a buck per disc for verbs way better then replacing a whole game your 3 year old tries to jam in your ps3 and then open it up to find six wii games in it
