Hongkong fakes!
-
I'm infuriated sia, just came back from Hongkong after a week's holiday.
I got a cheap price for a 4Gb Memory Card, $35, and since I bought the 1Gb before, I thought it would work as well.
Knn, I got home, happy happy, download my games into my PSP, then finally, only the first downloaded game that I copy into it appears.
Kns, anyone got tricked the same way?

It's your retribution for being a cheapo.

4GB or 4MB?

Sorry hor, I not as rich as you, I gotta save. -

Sometimes the mao pai stuff are almsot as good as the orginal, but a ton cheaper... then it makes sense to get them.
A good example is China-brand Super Soakers... sometimes they are ripoffs of American designs but they go for dirt cheap and are sometimes even more reliable (due to the less-moving parts it has) then the Yank versions... though the Yank orginals are always more powerful.
China soakers are a good and cheap sidearm to bring along to a water fight or to equip your soaker-less friends to help in attacking somebody in a water war while having the powerful American soakers to yourself.
Of course, when it comes to things like memory cards and stuff like that you need to be more careful. Some china stuff is both cheap and good but they don't really care about the customer, so getting a good deal is up to your own wit and prowless at detecting a good bargain. Don't expect the American "customer is king and must spoon-feed him" approach to their products, often its a battle of wits with the China stuff, but the savings can be worth it if you get a good deal. -

Revenge for Hongkongers buying 4GB card at Sim Lim, and happy, happy go home and discover it is only 1GB.
Caveat emptor.
