back when dvd writers came out, half the industry supported -, half the industry supported + ... 3 years later, there is no winner and most of the drives sold are dual compatable.

PS2's like -r's

-R more compatible with older players
+R supposedly silightly better quality

with the correct drives, DVD+R can be burned as DVD-ROM

So neither of the two have anything to do with the ability of a dvd player to play dvd-r or dvd-rw?
