How can I get a genuine Sony memory stick pro duo 8gb

[Sarah Houston]

How can I make sure in advance that I'm buying a genuine Sony memory stick
pro duo 8gb, and not a fake or counterfeit one?

A lot of what I'm reading out there, tells how to identify it AFTER you
buy it, but how can I avoid buying the fake in the first place?

You could go into a shop and buy it.

Buy direct from Sony (or a Sony Store).

so when will you be finished shilling products on Usenet, hoping to create
huge threads about them so they climb quickly to the top of the Google
rankings ??

Why buy sony "sucker" memory, its overpriced, overpriced for one
reason only, sonys greedy profit. My sony camera memory cards are
other brands. Thats one reason I will never buy a Memory Stick only
product, and be a Memory Sucker again.

Why even bother with prices for MSDuo? Just get a Transcend MicroSD to
Memory-Stick Pro Duo adapter. They come with a 4GB MicroSDHC Class-6 speed card,
or the cheaper slower version with 2GB MicroSD 45x speed cards. Got one from
Newegg for about $16 a couple months ago. 4GB Transcend Class-6 w/adapter, part
# TS4GUSDHC6-MS. 2GB 45x speed w/adapter part # TS2GUSD-MS.

I see they're sold out at Newegg, they were eventually going for only $11.55 for
4GB MicroSDHC Class-6 + MS-Duo adapter. I guess you can always get on their
waiting list.

Or hunt around, I'm sure someone has them in stock. Don't be locked into MS-Duo
prices when SD memory is so cheap. MicroSDHC 8GB Class-4 or 6 speed goes for
$15-$20. MS-Pro Duo 8GB goes for $50-$70. That's just nonsense. Get just one
MicroSDHC with an adapter and you're set from now on.

I just ordered a Cybershot DSC-S750 and I understand it can do some cool
stuff in video mode if I have a fully functional memory stick in it. I
also heard that some of the fakes aren't?

Stay away from adapters, they have insertion losses that can effect your
video taking. You can find Genuine Sony Pro duo Mark 2 at Amazon.com

Sounds wise.

Hey what about Sandisk? Do they make them 100% compatible with Sony?

But then I suppose I run into the question of fakes with them too?

They do, but I keep away from them because the Sandisk Memory Stick
I bought from Staples physically broke, the top parted from the
card, still functioned but the contacts were exposed, I ditched it.

Possible.
