I finally got my Lightscribe discs in the mail and decided to give it a go. the results were wonderful, a little bit lighter than i expected but it sure beats plain discs or writing with marker. I hope this thread will give someone the idea of what finished Lightscribe discs looks like if they were debating on how to go about steamcovers.
Here is one result so far:
HL2: http://puu.sh/3wD5 (thank you alek)
Crysis Warhead: http://puu.sh/3yav & http://puu.sh/3yav
Crysis: http://puu.sh/3C3f
I'll post more later as i go, decided just to knock HL2 off the list since i finished it recently and it was taking up room. next on my lightscribe list is Crysis/Crysis Warhead.
Edit: Crysis Warhead did not really go the way i planned, i was limited on cover art but also i didn't realize the Y was cut off till i was printing, the other one was a bit eh, didn't really want labels like "windows" on my discs because i enjoy the art look more.
Edit: Crysis went lovely plain and simple. i'm going to work on a Bully Scholarship Edition cover now via cookie cutter process.

Great pic! I'm glad it worked!
There is a setting in the LightScribe control panel that lets you choose a darker printout. Also, you can put the disc back in the drive and reprint it. That makes it darker as well.

Yup, found the enhanced option and it sure made a difference with the Crysis Warhead discs even though it was a disaster lol (read up). as for the double print, it made it darker and also shown more of the detail but left these weird skid marks on it. the bright side though is at least i can tell which is disc 1 & 2.
