Sometimes its different material that's used for the actual burning of the CD... as in, the stuff that gets heated up by the laser to leave the pits. I don't know a whole lot about it, but all CDRs are not created equal. Different materials have different properties... some last longer than others. Don't read too much into the color though, cause sometimes the plastic itself is dyed to make it look different. Like the playstation games you mentioned, thats just dye in the plastic.
About your discman, try burning more slowly or switching CDR manufactures... see if that helps.
