Hi,

It was brought to my attention that alot of people still don't know that fake memory cards exist~ In my sale thread alot of guys told me they can get theirs for RM 75 for 8GB new one but its a fake. I have experiance it before so i know how to check.

Go to GAME, Memory, then click on the TRIANGLE button to bring up information, click on information. If you card says:-

Magicgate - supported -then it is an ori

Magicgate -uknown or anything else - you have just been conned.


I was cheated before when i bought a memory stick from Digital mall, Be carefull guys because they will try to sell you a fake for original price. The store is located just after you come up the escalator to your right. These guys are conman's, don't buy from them without checking.

Yes, alot of guys are selling FAKE microsd cards aswell. Here is how you tell if its fake. But you can only do it before you buy it.

- Before you buy the card, always ask the fella to show you 5-10 other cards.

- Look at the serial number on the card, if all the cards have the same serial number then ITS A FAKE!!!.

There you go~

Another way is to see the packaging =)

The original memory sticks come with Memory Stick adapters. The fake ones don't =.=

Its obvious to be honest. Much easier way right?

^fake one aso got Memory Stick adapters

Read this guide, tells you all:

I see... that's why its a cheapo..

But some although its different serial number also its fake.

How about the performance of the card. Can we identify weather its fake from performance?

From my experience, fake PSP mem card, if u take it out from the PSP to load games, when u insert it back in, sometimes the PSP wont be able to read the card contents. Then u'll have to remove the card, reformat it using laptop, then insert it again, format using psp, then transfer data using cable. My solution: never remove it from the psp. Use cable to transfer any data. Fake mem cards oso hav noticeably slower reading speeds too.

I suspect mine is fake coz i bought it very cheap at sg. wang plaza but so far it works fine, maybe like you say have slower reading speeds only.

Best way to not buy fakes is just go to a big reputation camera store and request for one.
Though not all camera store has it.
