Well I should have seen the all-so-frequent regurgitation of Ritek's poor reputation (likely deserved) concerning some older media, coming, but figured my post was specific enough to avoid all that...

Really, I'm just looking for newer 16x scans.. That's it. I'm not a Ritek advocate, but I have had good luck in the past (no, I dont have G05, but a few unbranded G04 that have lasted since 2004, and continue to play fine, as well as several R03 and D01).

Let's not turn this into a Ritek bashing thead, there's so many more to feast on! I just haven't seen any of the newer stuff scanned here, wonder if anyone has gotten their hands on some, I don't mind being guinea pig
