SANDISK memory stick VS SONY memory stick

  people say that SANDISK memory stick is better than SONY memory stick.
  
  which brings me to a problem which i encounter yesterday. there's a game which i can play on my PSP Slim with a SANDISK memory stick but not on a SONY memory stick.
  
  on the SONY memory stick, the game doesn't even appear at all. in the end, the SONY memory stick became faulty and needed to be exchanged.
  
  what are your opinions on this? anyone experienced problems on a SONY memory stick as well?

  I would really recommend Sandisk. Sony is manufacturing too many other products whereas Sandisk is specialised in manufacturing memory cards etc...

  went to survey in sls 2 days ago.
  cheapest -> sandisk 1gb $32 4gb $85 never ask 2 gb.
  for sony 2gb $49 and 4gb $10x
  
  the magicgate supported 8gb one will lag in some games. used psp slim to transfer files and the speed around 6MB/s nia.

  Since now the way to identify a fake card / original is to check if the card is magicgate supported, i'm trying to say the sony 8gb memory card will lag when playing game.
  
  Last time I used that blue sandisk 4gb card it does not have this problem. I always think that only fake card lag in game only.

  fake cards do not necessarily lag, fat32 file system on the card might lag for some games
