Sometimes I think Brawl is a foriegn game, because I have to put it in like every 20 times for it to work. And I bought it here in America. What's with that?

I heard they are coming out with a 1st party lens cleaner to help with this problem soon.

I think all other Wii games are only single layered.
NVM, I just found out about the double layer stuff.

It's any dual layer disk
