Hi all,
I recently purchased two AceKard 2i carts from a Canadian based website (GamerSection) and am worried I bought fake cards.
The Anti-Counterfeit codes on the back of the cards have been checked 12 and 19 times, dating as far back as 2008 and 2009.
I wrote GamerSection and they assured me they received their stock straight from the manufacturers. So I wrote AceKard and they told me they do not sell to GamerSection and that all of their codes should be unique. So, back to GamerSection I went, and they told me that since the original AceKard team had split up and due to the internal politics at that company, they have been having issues with their Anti-Counterfeit codes. They also said that they purchased from them under the name of their parent company as they operate many different websites and storefronts.
Now this seems a plausible explanation, albeit a tad fishy. Should I be worried? My card runs AKAIO just fine and I was even able to update the firmware straight off of the acekard.com site itself. Does that mean I have authentic cards? And if not, will this prove a problem later on? Thanks all for your input.
