A normal store never sold me a fake oneSephxus said:You can get a micro sd card and get an memory stick adapter for it.
With that said, if you use Amazon, try to stick to Amazon or another large volume retailer like J&R. There are a number of smaller shops on there that I suspect wouldn't have any issues with slipping in some fakes.TwinRetro said:Amazon.com
'nuff said.
I bought numerous memory card of all types and sizes from there. I have never gotten a fake. Amazon is also really good about customer protection. If someone sells fake merch, they get the boot fairly quickly.
Minor aside: 16GB sticks are a lot cheaper than $70 now. Try $40. Of course that's still approaching 2x the cost of a similar SD card...Rydian said:If you're buying from somebody that's reselling, you're taking a risk.
If you buy three 8GB memory sticks from resellers online for $25 each that all turn out to be fake, you wasted $75 when you could have just spent $70 on an official 16GB (shipping included) and ended up with a lot more for less by doing it right the first time.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
