I had been under the impression that the coating for CDs had to be gold or silver. A friend just bought a pack of memorex black CD-Rs.

 Should we expext the same quality/consistency with these black CDs. Is this just a gimmick? ?

I've been using these and never had a problem.

From memory (and it's not that good), they're actually meant to be better... I think they were also what was required for burning PS1 games or something for a while too..... Either way, I've never heard of anyone having complaints about them, but I haven't really had much experience with them personally.

I remember buying a spindle of these years ago, they were very expensive back then and were meant to be a lot more durable than your regular cd.

Maybe the purpose of this is so you can copy PlayStation games and play them on the PSone console

Are "black" discs different from other discs?
