Yes,it's fake as what the internet says. I had around 460 MB user space...just got it yesterday..hmm,it's psycologically 'guilty' to get one..but the price is tempting here in my country,around $USD 42-wow-I thought it was a discount..stupid,uh? I even didn't know that it was fake until I came across with some info..anyway,will this fake stuff blow my phone someday?

The words on the back aren't engraved-instead,they are just printed..and the package has round seals..anyway-it just works OK..

If it works fine, which most probably will be the case, just enjoy it !

It just certainly works fine..my PC recognizes it perfectly,no problem of transferring files,hmm..it's just a feeling of regret..the seller denied that it is fake-he probably got cheated also by the main supplier..I just loved my K750i,then-what a shame to have a stupid stuff of MSDP inside..

Here in the Philippines, Sony is now issuing Memory Stick Warranty cards when purchasing MS.

MSPDs now come with 10-year warranty.
Regular MSs have 5-year warranty.
