DVD+R's are almost a must for burning PS2 games,  games seem to lag when I use -R's

+R's work better with PS2 games?

Most of the PS2 games I burned were on -R's, and they work fine. Interesting, though...

Anyway, -R's have more compatibility (contrary to what some say), so I'll vote that.

i don't recall +r dvd have great compatibility on ps2 games, i burn my ps2 games in dvd-r

The only thing i say is that i used + for my friends Ps2 and only + was working for movies backups.
Well in my case the + is better for me , but read :

Re: DVD+R or DVD-R? Which is Better & Why?
Neither format is going anywhere. IMHO it really depends on what applications you plan on using them for. Most people here recommend DVD+R overall but then again, they are usually just doing DVD Movie backups or computer applications. I for one prefer DVD-R since I also do videogame console backups and the -R format definitely seems to have an edge in that department. Those with Samsung drives in their XBOXs (like myself) or who have anything but the latest PS2 consoles are all over the place with +R media (even with the bitsetting adjustment). They work great for some people but not everybody. I have been using G03/G04 Ritek DVD-R and 8x Taiyo Yuden (TYG02) DVD-R over the course of the last two years and they have yet to meet a single peice of hardware that they were incompatible with (tested on 7 different versions of PS2s, 10 different DVD Players, all 3 of the stock XBOX DVD-ROM drives). As mentioned above, part of the problem with the - format is that there are quite a few more media manufacturers which also means that there will be more lower quality media manufacturers. However, as with DVD+R, this can simply be avoided by sticking to the recommended ones. It's pretty clear who stands out in terms of quality. Anyways, sorry to get long-winded but as mentioned above it really depends on what applications you plan on using your discs for.
