Sony 2gb Memory Stick Pro Duo - £22

Just taken a look at the packaging and it only has three dot seals on each side.

Does this mean it's definitely a fake?

Edit: back of the box says "Optimum for recording of High pixel still images and High quality mowing images."

Ok, so it's a fake, do I contact amazon first to get my money back, the user I bought it from or Sony?

Speak to the seller demand a refund ,report to Amazon and report it to Sony im sure they will be very intrested

Godspeed

I was under the impression that the ATRAC sony music format would only work from genuine sony sticks. All the fake ones don't have the hardware needed for it.

Amazon sent me a prompt reply, saying that I'm not eligible for their A-Z Guarantee for Marketplace purchases due to the amount of time that has passed, which is fair enough.

All is silent from tecknet-online so far. I have a feeling I won't hear anything. I've learned a lesson at least, I suppose!

Stupidly I thought their good feedback score and price (reasonable, but not outrageously cheap for a memory stick) meant that it was real Sony stuff they were selling.

I've had my card for 10 months and didn't even know it was a fake 'til now! Watch where you buy your Sony memory cards from!!

You mean the flash drive they have for sale? It's a good offer but it's different from a memory stick.
