dual layer burners are CHEAP as chips dude.

One of the best on the market, doing all formats, the LG 4163B is only $98AU, which should equal about $50US.

Thats cheap as man cmon!

for backup i've worked out its cheaper and far much less hassle to keep buying 300gig HDD's and USB2 Caddies


for games that are oversize..  you may find a hacked solution of a smaller size..

dual-layer burners have become incredibly cheap but the media (9.4 G) is still pretty expensive, like 10 bucks per disc, whereas a single layer disc is like 50 cents.
