Beware of counterfiet Products on saleMarch 31, 2008 Wise Buyer(UK) 39 out of 40 found this review helpful
I purchased one of these cards from a Marketplace seller much to my disappointment.
I will say normally these cards have proved no problem to me, well the ones from reputable sellers, High Street retailers and Amazon.
On arrival I immediately tried to use the card in various devices such as PSP, Camera, phone and PC. Firstly, the magicgate, which is normally available on Sandisk cards technology was non-existent therefore the card was not possible to be used in a PSP, this raised some suspicion. SO I thought oh well I'll use it in my camera and phone instead, partly as I couldn't be bothered at first to return it. How am I foolish to think it would work.
The card was so unreliable (very unlike my other SANDISK MS Pro Duo cards) as it kept on crashing and losing my data. Each time i tried to reapply my data no matter which device i used it kept on saying the card is not formatted. How can this be when I have already used it, albeit unsuccessfully.
I subsequently got on to Sandisk customer support whereby they asked me for the serial/model numbers, which I add is normally readable on authentic products, that I could not read properly. The rep also asked for further information pertaining to what else was printed next to the model and serial numbers. After I gave this information I was informed that the item was counterfeit. After to'ing and fro'ing with pictures of the card and the dodgy looking packaging its lack of authenticity again was confirmed.
I have used Sandisk products for many years and all of my cards have a hologram sticker and legibly printed serial / model numbers along with 'MADE in CHINA' printed. On the fakes you will simply get badly printed text with 'CHINA' but no 'MADE IN' part or even a hologram.
Save yourself much pain and many headaches not least forgetting the hassle of returning the item (AT YOUR COST) and buy simply from a reputable online sellers like AMAZON or Marketplace sellers who haven't received poor feedback for supplying suspect goods in the past. Any cheaply priced cards are most likely to be very suspect and possibly fake. YOU CANNOT BUY AUTHENTIC PRODUCTS AROUND 50% OF THEIR NORMAL COST.
If you are given a reason of 'the product is an import' for the lack of a hologram or suitable packaging in addition to poorly printed text don't believe it as Imported goods are no different in style or quality to normal UK retail packaged editions. Don't accept any excuses your data (Pictures etc) and money are worth more. The product images above will give you a clear idea of what you should be getting for your money.
I have purchased too many Sandisk and Sony cards at low prices now to think that it is possible to be supplied an authentic product or at least something reliable. Whether it is Amazon Marketplace or feebay the too good to be true prices are a waste of time and no longer for me! I will champion any day Sandisk as they have always been A1 but only if the products are genuine.
Only Buy From AmazonApril 9, 2008 Mr. G. Hawkey 20 out of 21 found this review helpful
I have bought 6 of these memory cards from amazon and everyone has worked perfectly. If you want a genuine sandisk card buy from amazon. (not one of there market place sellers) Stay clear of ebay as 99% of there memory cards are fake.
Excellent product for price.

I bought this for my Sony Ericsson W810i (mobile phone). Works a treat, I mainly use it for listening to mp3s. I bought this for 24.89 in March 2008 and, as suspected, it's dropped to 16.99 in early June!

Couldn't ask for a better memory card; I recommend this high above the Sony variants, and if you want to buy a memory card for anything, I would suggest that you get it from here to avoid purchasing a fake one.

As stated by other reviewers only buy these from Amazon due to the fake memory sticks being sold by market place sellers and also Ebay. I have found no problems with this stick and recommend to anyone who wants to upgrade their PSP or other device.
