Sony Memory Sticks at 7dayshop (SanDisk)

Hi,

Thought I would share this with everyone before I ordered one:-

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=100616&r=20061103

Seems to be a good buy for £17.99!

Not bad but these are slow speed ones. I bought a 2Gb of the same type on eBay for £21 incl delivery a couple of months ago.

£17.89 is a good price from a retail shop though.

I read on the ebays help forum taht more than 95% of sandisk sd memory cards sold on ebay are fake.

I couldnt belive it, either - but i suspect it's true if ebay themselves are stating it.

I got my 2gb from Ebay and it wasnt a fake.

you say that its not fake, but believe me if you bought it from ebay for less than shop prices it will be fake. The fake ones do work, but use cheaper memory and are prone to breaking

wouldnt be suprised if they were a fake!
fakes are WAY too common! very hard to tell the difference though unfortunatly

Even if Sandisk allowed me to register it for warranty? All the ones I bought run fine and I even checked their memory sizes (fake ones differ to originals) and they are correct. The first one I bought was over a year ago.

The reason why I got them cheap is because more people are thinking that they are fake and the bids stay low. Thank God

The fakes work just as well as the originals in most cases ...

One piece of advice is to never ever buy them in real shops! The prices are extortionate!

got 3 fake memory cards, all work good if not better than the sony official one.

never had one problem. bought a 2gb fake on ebay for £24.

its funny how they actually have more memory space than the real ones. real one was 949mb (1gb) fake one was 979mb (1gb).
