[TheForge] Was Tape rentals : Now DVD +- <YAKish>

Fri Dec 5 08:06:00 2003

I bought a Sony DVD burner all formats for my son for Christmas. I was at
CompUSA looking at some blank dvd's as an extra stocking stuffer and I
didn't know which blank + or - to get. The salesguy said use the - because
they'll work in more models of dvd players than the +. Unless we know our
particular brand of player requires the +. That's about all I know about
them.
