Summary: Really? They can not drop the price after all these years?
Comments: This is absurd. 8 MB for $20? I just got an 8 GB flash drive for the same price. That's 1000 times more data storage. Which means, not including the production cost, this card costs 1000x more than it should. Besides, why did not they just include a couple hundred megabytes of internal storage when they redesigned the PS2? What the hell? |

Summary: BEWARE OF BOOTLEGS- READ THIS BEFORE YOU purchase
Comments: Though the high price point and limited space are something of a burden,the OFFICIAL Sony PS2 memory card is a reliable product. However, ALL NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR THE BOOTLEGS ON HERE.
Here are some things I would say to examine to make sure you have a legitimate memory card.
BEFORE purchaseING THE CARD
- Beware of low prices. I would personally be suspicious of anything lower than $10.00.
- Try to ask the seller if the card you are thinking of purchaseing from them is made in Japan. Legitimate cards are without a doubt made in Japan, so you should be
wary if they mention any place other than Japan.
- Try to read some of the negative feedback the seller has received. If you see even1purchaseer that hints that they got a questionable card, be on the defensive...
- If there is a product description entered for the card on the prices page, read it carefully. Though a seller may state the card is "real", it doesn't mean it's an OFFICIAL product.
*Example of a suspect listing:
BRAND NEW CARD!!!! REAL!!!!!!!! purchase NOW!!!!!!!!
The listing says the card is "REAL" however it doesn't state the card is an "OFFICIAL" Sony memory card.
************************************
IF YOU'VE ALREADY purchased AND RECEIVED A CARD, do not OPEN IT YET!!!!!!!!!! there is a few ways to tell you are dealing with an illegitimate card before you even open the package.
- Look over the packaging and see if the card was made ANYWHERE else other than Japan. If you see it was made in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or any other place, it may well be a fake.
- Read E WORD on the packaging that you can. This Comes with ALL the precautions and instructions on the back and front of the packaging. Much like a lot of unprofessional things, a spelling error is the number1clue of something low class. Even1spelling error is grounds for suspicion in my book...
- Look for sentences or words on the packaging that are either spaced to close or too far from each other. With a fake card that I got, there were many sentences that seemed to be written fine from afar. However, when you looked closer, the sentences had strangely high amounts of space in between them. Think of it as someone writing a sentence with an inch of space between each word....
- Look at the font of the words on the packaging. The sentences on an official card's packaging have a crisp and clean looking font to them. However, with the card I got, the font was really ugly and cheap looking.
- Look for writing on the front of the packaging that tells you the color of the card. In the top left hand corner, there is black writing with a white background that tells you the color of the card on an official package.
- If you have1on hand, try to compare the front of the card you received with an official Sony PS2 memory card. When I compared my official cards with the fake I received, I saw that the fake had the words "Magicgate" printed sloppily on it. That is, the words were curving upwards when they should've been perfectly straight. Think of it as how it appears when1tries to write a straight sentence on paper that doesn't have lines.
- Try to get a feel for the quality of plastic used to make the card. A card I received looked to be made out of cheap plastic and I practically had to snap it back together since it was splitting apart.
********************************************************
IF YOU'VE ALREADY OPENED THE PACKAGE AND ARE WONDERING IF YOU HAVE A FAKE
- Look to see if the card has varying amounts of free space on it. I have read that some cards have varying space even if nothing is saved on them.
- Pay attention to any games having a hard time saving to the card. Saving or loading data to and from the card may take long periods of time. In addition, you may encounter frequent bouts of corrupted data.
******************************************************
there is likely many more signs of fake cards out there, however I think this is a great start of things to look for. Always make sure to take as many precautions when purchaseing these cards as you can. The annoyance of a dysfunctional product is simply not worth the low price you may pay for it.... |

Summary: not what I received
Comments: I ordered the $[...] card from seller Fridayplay a coulple weeks ago. I ended up with some generic memory card; not the1in the picture. Would have sent it back however I did not feel like paying the shipping. Works so far. also I found a screw stuck in the connector. |
