How to spot fake psp memory sticks

[XzDaLeGendzX]

should i get one from Amazon???

[Bra1th]

@XzDaLeGendzX Sorry for the late reply, only buy from Amazon if it says its sold by Amazon

[XzDaLeGendzX]

@Bra1th k thanks bro

[LesBleubleus]

how muh does a memory stick cost?

[Bra1th]

@LesBleubleus Memory sticks are pretty cheap these days, you can get a 4gb for £8 and 8gb for £14 (I notice your from the states, may be someone else can help with supplier/price)

[darksword101]

Do they sell these fake ones at the stores? Also are the sandisk memory sticks any good?

[Bra1th]

@darksword101 You should be alright buying from stores, just dont buy from auction sites and sandisk is a good make ive got a few myself

[darksword101]

@Bra1th Okay that's good since all of my memory sticks are store bought or came with the psp.

[darksword101]

@Bra1th Okay that's good since all my memory sticks are store bought then I should be okay.

[kevinlovecars]

i got ripped off too i bought buckyballs and they got fucked up during the first two minutes of play

[kevinlovecars]

GET A FUCKING REFUND

[william69952]

that's why i don't buy stuff from ebay

[theawesome288]

assholes of the world, making money out their fakery. Is this what china stands for?

[wardo23]

Everyone Type "Won" Before youtube.com

[danielhughes99999]

fake memory card also will have less sticker on the box, and original have many stickers

[pwndawgyo]

Freakin Chinese store on eBay gave me a 2gb saying 16gb!!!

[JoostRevo]

okay so i shouldnt buy them from ebay.

[ToomasKedrov]

EBay = Ripoff!

[LtSurge659]

Solution:

Spend a little more and buy from your own country. Stop giving the Chinese a reason to laugh at us behind their child-labor-driven corporate successes.

[justine123123]

check it put it in ur psp then in game you see memory stick folder on that press triangle then press information then if it says MagicGate: Unknown its fake if

MagicGate: Supported then real (btw my 4 gig is real ) xD

[hmobvaj2]

i bought my 8gb from ebay and it havent corrupt on me yet

[riki2cool]

If a guy give me a fake memory stick, i will rip his neck off.

[counterstrifekid]

Use it then see if it is fake!

[tombodell22409]

yer but that isnt efficent when u fuckin buy it off ebay dumbass!!

[FBIslo]

oh dude i have same memory stick pro

and it work really good and its not fake, it's just other package...

[ihateelmoful]

that is freaky i have a memory stick with that package and it was 100% real! no kidding.

[xStalkerxx]

thing is today, no smart guy buys these anymore....you can buy yourself a photofast adapter, insert two micro sd cards in it (up to 16gb each) and run a test , and you will see it works great, and it's faster than any original pro duo card sony has.

ProDuo 0

MicroSd 1

Sony got owned!

[Eviltwinz93]

The thing is people with PSP's would probably get Pro Duo rather than adapter purely on speed. Pro duo's are likely to be faster than an adapter with a MS put inside. So...

[KRmeansKamenRider]

Dumb ass,buy it at toysRus its all real ones

[forhowlong]

i was gona use these for my camera but then i realised that it was fake and it also causes the photos to become corrupted and lost forever....

Wouldnt want to lose precious memories would we??

[mcjamsta]

if u dont wonna buy off ebay dont buy off ebay dumb ass not everythings fake lol im not sayin this to you its another comment lol

[rackista00]

I have 20 8 gb fake memory stick duo. dont get the 16gb cuz its much more weaker it breaks faster and corrupts data within a week of usage. the 8gb thou does not do this but you must be carefull of it do not even drop it or your psp with it or it will cause data corruption or worse the psp can;t read it. but if your carefull its great it also works but not as fast as the original but great. cause its cheap hehe

[DemonicGemini]

thank u for posting this

[franzlilk9]

still works if its fake...

[BestXGrip]

True. With a lifespan of 7 months if used regularly AND with care. Otherwise, 2 years even if you don't use it that often at all. I know from experience so fakes sucks big time!

[itachi1284]

actually, no. after a certain time, it will stop working 100%, and you have to delete every single thing on it. plus, it's not even the size it claims to be

[Itachi2336]

@itachi1284 i love your name

[itachi1284]

I want to change it to MadHatter1284, but, never got to it. I don't like my name

[AlucardX7X]

is a memory stick duo the same thing as an sd card?

[odi22865]

no MS DUO or Pro DUO is smaller in size

[aaron22892]

who cares if its fake

[XXDANIEL1993XX]

fake ones have less memory and data gets corrupted so actually you should care

[Bra1th]

@XXDANIEL1993XX

No dont buy from Ebay, if you live in the UK I can recommend PLAY, thats where I buy mine from, you can pick up an 8gb for £17.99

[amun847]

all u need is your psp pop in the one u think is fake find the memory card thing in your psp press triangle info and if it says magic or what ever and right next to it should say uknown that means its fake .

[sattanhellsing]

is the reverse .. the box with the red sticker is the fake one , the bleu sticker are ok

[leetal1ty]

depends on the size, almost each size has a different color, some share same.

[fighter1one1]

fake 1 only gives only 2-2.5 mbps write speed and 4-5 mbps read speed

while real 1 gives 5mbps write and 8-9mbps read speed

[pasky250]

actualy i dont care if its fake or not....all i had were prob fake and all worked -.- i dont realy care i get waranty anyway

[eduardogto64]

But Whats The Difference Of A Fake One And A Real One?

[Bra1th]

Fake 1s dont last very long and there half the speed

[mankindkn]

@Bra1th slower during the gameplay or the loading?

[Bra1th]

@mankindkn

Both, ive noticed games dont run smooth and takes longer to transfer games on to them, MS duos are so cheap now id recommend buying them from PLAY

[eduardogto64]

Do You Think If I Buy A MS On Ebay, Shipped From Hong Kong. Do You Think Its Fake?

[Bra1th]

Yes, 95% of all memory on ebay is fake, you should get it from playDOTcom

[MythRinasaki]

I gotten a 16GB recently and it had a red circle on the packaging and it was still fake. :[

[pasky250]

i have a 4gb real and 8gb fake....the 8 was twice cheaper than the 4 and i dont see any difference on speed . can anyone tell me what happends if its fake???

[DPStickMaster]

You lose memory, and game data..

[pasky250]

hmmm...i mustve been lucky XD i didnt lose anyting yey

[spongejack1997]

for real if you use a fake memory stick

[DPStickMaster]

no shit dude..

[spongejack1997]

ok im just asking jezz bitch

[SquirlKiller]

every game data gets corrupted and might say the size of it is like 61GB

[newmanto03]

i ordered an 8gb from ebay on feb 09,2009 , i just got it yesterday and the circle is red, but where it says MSX-MB GTS/X is supposed to be MSX-MB GS/X (without the T in other words)

and it is a 4gb disguised as a 8gb. any files over 4gb comes out as corrupt file :(

[detrooying]

hey yall i'm just lost in this cursed site.i wanted to watch sex movies they brought me dis video i wanna get back to my house.HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­ELP!!!!!

[streetballer786]

i have a four gig thats fake and when i go to memory stick and info it says magic gate unkwon

[30GB]

yep its fake

[takeitapart1moretime]

decause i orderd a sony 16gb mark2 stick on ebay. i have not got it yet but i hop to god its not a fake....decause i just found out this crap after i order it.when i get it i will put a video up unboxing it

[takeitapart1moretime]

some of the sticks say mark 2 on them what dus that mean? please reply..........

[Andrewwelton]

Mark 2 is just the new version of memorystick. I have a bunch, as far as I can tell, they just run MUCH faster.

[milkme04]

is it hard to buy a original one?? and umm can it be fake if i buy it on a sony tv shop on malls??

[Bra1th]

No not at all, sony will have official memory, I just wouldnt recommend buying from market place sites like ebay and amazon as you would be buying from the general public and they cant be trusted

[broodm]

so if the circle is not red, its definitely fake???

how about the numbers below???

I really need to know because i would be buying one soon(and i wish to know whether its fake or not, simply by looking at the box)

[milkme04]

i will buy the highspeed memo crd,,hmm

the circle on it must be red too?

[caboose016]

thx

[caboose016]

are those in gamestop and stuff cause i dont wanna buy a fake one

[Bra1th]

Think your pretty safe buying from a shop, its ebay and amazon you have 2 watch basically any site with a market place

[Game112233]

so you didnt get a mem card with it???

[VietnamDrag]

so if the circle is red and not blue so its defitly 100% oriinal?

[MarioSegaFreak]

its a camera adtper... not a memory stick.

[Bra1th]

AS you can see the memory card has been removed and the adaptor comes with it which i dont need

[MarioSegaFreak]

oh.

[wajalama]

hey vanpico, wtf r u talking about!? psp's already come with a memory stick.

[anatanium]

shit!! im not going to buy fakes anymore!!

i bought 2 8gig because i was surprise how cheap it is!! i bought it for 20dollars each!! and shit the two crashed and crashed and suddenly stop workin!!! in lessthan a month!!! ! my advice get an original it saves think about it!!!

[ThumbWrestlingFan]

what's the difference from an original memory stick and a fake one?

[Bra1th]

fake 1s dont last as long and they are a lot slower

[beefr123321q]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh god damn it my dad bouht that same one for me =(

[bonerjam10]

Got dam people stop trying to waste your money on these fake ass no good memory card! hey like they says "you get what you paid for!" LOL go to a real retailer and buy the fucken thing if you really want it....its alot but at least its not fake and messed up.

[vanepico]

hmm, at the prices they are selling for, psps are just as much as a waste of money as the ps3 was, the psp doesn't even come with a memory stick, if you wanna stand any chance of holdin photos, videos or games you need to spend £60 on a legitimate memory stick, i have a fake 4gb memory card and it hasn't gone wrong yet, sure its cheap and shit, but when sony start putting the price down...

[mxdsij]

iv gt a 4gb sandisk

it works on my psp slim

but not on my psp fat

on my fat is says No memory

and on my slim its 3900Mb!?

[captainnintendo]

What can you do if you get a fake... I didnt get any refund from ebay of any kind. are you just screwed

[linkqwertyui]

ok so if they corupt its fake how ever the NEVER EVER HAVE ALL THE MEMORY a 1 gig has 954 a 8 has 7.8 and a 16 has 14.6 becuse sont rounds the numbers up

[PSPhelp2008]

erm.. i gt a fake one

Still has 7900MB

Bt wen i put games on, deyr reeli slow ?

any ideas ?

[CinnamonXV]

it isnt good as sonys so transfer data sucks

[jotunheimr666]

i bought an 8GB duo from ebay, not sure the seller name, but it worked fine it seemed, though i noticed it took a long ass time to format (sometimes it said a memory stick wasnt even in it), and every friggin time i tried to load a PSX EBOOT on it, it fuckin corrupted it one way or another, i finally got sick of it and gave it away, but needless to say im very displeased with my loss of 60$

[freespeechforvn]

These fake made in chinazi will not work on PSP or any other electronic. Don't waste your time buying memory on ebay, I only trust Amazon...

[freespeechforvn]

I've got 8gig Sony from ebay for $40.00 and it's wasted so much times. This fake made in chinazi is really getting me mad and I don't understand why ebay let these crook get away. Also, these seller are from the US. Stupid made in chinaze....

[Brolydog]

80% of memory sticks bought online are fake.

[RunescapeComics]

can someone please tell me whats wrong with fake ones? do they still work or are they just a fake piece of plastic? cause im going to get one off ebay as long as it works ill get it fake or real so can someone tell me whats wrong with fake ones? ty plz reply or send me a utube msg

[LordClueless]

well i got a fake mem stick and basically it corrupts ALL the time. sumtimes im on holidays and the psp doesnt read it. yeh be careful

[xunkn0wn]

worst case scenario it'll corrupt all files and data on your psp and it won't be able to read anymore memory sticks (official or unofficial) and you can't format it.

[zero1386]

i should have watched this vid man cuz mine just came in and its a fuckin fake. it doesnt read and all kinds of annoying shit. and i dont think the bastard that sold it to me will give me a rrefund. any bootleggers deserve to burn in hell.

[pjcoolman]

i have pro duo and it works even if it says its not supported pro duo has high number of memory

[PxOxV]

"i got a fake 4g works great just takes 4 ever 2 put games or music celavi!"

same here...it was cheap and it works so i dont give a crap aslong as it works =) fake or real i dont care....especially since my psp is almost 100% custom stuff....most of the internal stuff has been replaced with stuff i made a custom order for =)...right now my psp is worth 789usd...WOOT! (i know waste but i love it)

[dragon1313]

brag much?

[xunkn0wn]

fake memory sticks have only half of the memory they say and it'll probly get screwed up soon and have all your data corrupted.

[freakshow17]

here is another way to stay clear of fake pro duo cards. Don't buy from Hong Kong Sellers. Seriously.

[shababchy]

I just found out that the guy from the hong-kong sold me a fake one. I am feeling like go out there and kill him. I,ve waited 3 weeks for this shit and it,s a fake. man , I am so pissed.aaahhhh

[32096907]

also the warenty thing should pop out in the plastic and the adaptor is a light blue and the little ovals around the case will have only 6 if its fake and 8 if its real

[mohameddatkenyan]

does that mean its fake and wont work beacause i brought one off ebay for 10 pound its was fake according to this vidoe and it still worked on my psp slim witch i broke today lol

[xXCRF125Xx]

i bought one of those off of ebay and its supported memory so

FAIL

[sessnet1]

I have your bound thesis, do you want to pick it up, it will be on my counter.

Maria

[Bra1th]

I dont no what a bound thesis is or where your counter is, but thanx anyway

[prmass1]

I have bought fake stuff from asia. I bought an ipod which had more stuff than the original but it only lasted 3 days. You get what you paid for.

[thereefour777]

i got a fake 4g works great just takes 4 ever 2 put games or music celavi!

[killerjoson]

i got a 8g and it got gate support

[tunanatr123]

or u can just spend the extra money at a store!

[PDGtheModman]

Best way to spot if its fake is to follow my guide and using a PSP or so and check for Magic Gate support :D

If no support then the card is Fake :D

[Bra1th]

no I cant format it, but if u c on my desk ive got a 4gb stick as well that does work, but again thats fake (I think thats what u asked)

[daxter465465]

??? is  use?
