I finally ran out of space the other week on the official Sony PS2 8MB memory cards I own, so I decided I needed a couple more to continue playing all the RPGs I still have to play.
After some searching and seeing many trying to see official Sony memory cards at silly prices I finally found a seller on ebay offering what looked like genuine Sony memory cards for a great price, so I purchased 2.
They only worked at at £6 including shipping.
However on arrival the package was clearly from Hong Kong so I got suspicious that they were counterfeit fakes. On opening the package the packaging looks quite genuine with the yellow card backing with silver sony and PS2 logos in a plastic package. The cards themselves also look quite genuine. However there are a few things that still leave be suspicious that these are actually counterfeit fakes.
- It says Made in China on the back of the cards
- The packaging says Made in Japan
- The plastic isn't quite as smooth as the older genuine cards I already own.
- The printing isn't the same colour on the cards and isn't as bright.
- The label on the back of the cards does not have uniform font size on one of the lines of text.
However, I still can't decide if these are real genuine Sony memory cards or not.
I've scanned one of these new cards from China in next to one of my older cards I know is a genuine Sony card. The genuine one is on the right.
What do you all think?
