Well, we all remember a few months ago, when we first heard about people creating fake Memory Stick Duos. These cheaply made look-alikes were sold for about 1/4 of the retail price, and provided terrible performance. We thought that was all over, right? Well, guess again!



Japanese police recently arrested Peng Xiong, 26, and his wife. In the place they were hiding, they found nearly 20 fake 2GB Memory Sticks. They had been selling them each for about ¥ 8,000 yen, compared to the original price of ¥ 20,000 yen. Some had even been shipped overseas with the help of a friend. In total, Xiong sold more than 400 of these ripoff Memory Sticks.

Sony has always been taking this topic as a major issue. With their trademarked copyrights being used illegally, we can definetely expect Sony to address this issue. Japanese police forces are still trying to find the source of the fake cards, to hopefully put an end to this ongoing concern.
