| 8 Gig Sony MemoryStickProDuo @ Crystal Mall?
Is this shit legit? My friend bought one for his PSP, and 4 gig isn't enough for me. It works fine and all, nothing wrong, but are these things legit? Regular 8 gig Sony produo sticks cost $60 at least, but the people at Crystal sell them for $40. $20 price difference.
Well, if they aren't legit, how long do they last? Do they perform differently from the legit Sony sticks or about the same?
Please and thanks.

Go to the home screen of the psp. (i'm assuming its modded)
Under 'game' or any other menu (video/music) press the Triangle button when the memory stick is highlighted.
A bar titled information will pop up click that ... look under part that says MagicGate if it says
: Supported (real)
: Not Supported (fake).... the fakes ones still work , its just that write speeds are a bit slower

This brings up another question. Do these fake ones last as long as the legit ones? Quote:

i bought a fake one off ebay few years back...
super slow transfer speeds and super long load times.
i would advise getting a legit one, for a little bit more $$.

From my experience the fake ones last a decent amount of time.
I bought a 8gb card off ebay a while back (not knowing it was actually fake)
and to this day ... its fine
