Just a simple question :
Are original sonys Memory Cards that you buy from Honk Kong (ebay for example) really original ones as they tell you, or are there fake ones even if the package and the MC look the same ???
I am asking cause i have some doubts about it....
...as you should but of course the only way to tell 100% for sure is to examine it with your own eyes and hands and compare to one you know is genuine.
One good way to tell is the price. If it's cheaper than $10, it's not likely genuine. The cheapest I bought memcards was 2 for $18 at Walmart... during some big PS2 event sale (also got an Eyetoy game and webcam for $20)...
Of course, lots of non-genuine products are being used with video-game systems. Modchips, HDLoader, etc. And even genuine things have problems (ie Sony batteries these days)...
Some time ago I placed two pics of the pcb from a "original 8 Mb Sony memorycard" on the forum, found fake memory cards in a shipment from China.
No difference in price.
ebay isn't popular in Hong Kong and there are many fake memory card from china to Hong Kong.
