> Is my memory stick fake?
Bookmark topic
Well here i have two memory sticks. They are both 2GB. One i have been using in my PSP for not even two weeks. Already the casing is splitting and the lettering is coming off. Also it seems a very tight fit in both my phone (k750) and the psp. The memory stick i have been using is from a UK seller.
I have not opened the other memory stick as it is not mine. Though this memory stick came from Hong Kong.
Now i know you must be thinking the Hong Kong one is fake but i think it is the other way around. I have taken many pictures to try and show you.
the one on the left is from Hong Kong
again the one on the left is the Hong Kong one. writing is bolder
the one above is the UK one, in the packaging is the Hong Kong one. Notice the wearing on the UK one?
here you can see the fading and splitting
UK one
the one on top is the Hong Kong one. notice the bolder colours and the different icons?
again the one on top is the Hong Kong one
here is a picture of the Hong Kong one's Sony sticker
and the one from the UK

Decided to take out the Hong Kong memory stick to see if there was a difference. Firstly i noticed the one from Hong Kong has stickers in the pack for labels, the UK one didnt. Also the Hong Kong one looks almost like the lettering is on a sticker, but not a sticker in the way that you can feel an edge. Also in the PSP it fits, and it isnt a tight fit. Finally all the lettering seems to be a lot further to the right than on the UK one.
Could anyone with a 1gb high speed card tell me if their "real" sony card has a sort of sticker on or not? Thanks
again the one on the left is the Hong Kong one. you can just make out the sort of label/sticker i taking about.

hmmm
to sum up what i learned about real and fake, the real ones have the text on the back engraved instead of just printed on. secondly, the package is stuck together better than the 6 glue spots. from the looks of it, they look fake to me.
this will help a lot, read this thread about it
i just read it myself today

I dont think they r fake.There are only 2 or 3 manufacturers that produce the MSDP sticks: SONY,SANDISK(also producing the same sticks on which Sony puts its name-they r the same) and I guess Lexar but not sure about this 1.So they r produced in different locations with various materials so its normal to have diff'rences.As long as it works why worry?U might take into consideration that u have too much free time on ur hands.I wish I could notice this sort of stuff:)

I mean, it doesnt look fake? Its probably just an HK version. If youre worried take it back, if you can. If you cant, and it works live with it?
