    memory cards are also generic, but not fake.... i've seen brands such as twinmos and apacer. they also carry original Sony Duos.

    ang alam ko okay nman ang cdr-king. May mga branded din silang memory card, d ko lang sure kung fake, pero wala pa nman akong narinig na reklamo from my friends na gumagamit ng mga binili nila dun. Meron din silang sariling brand na cdr-king

    IMHO, fake yung iba. Generic? May "brand" yung iba eh. I bet na fake din yun.

    Meron din silang Kingston, Transcend, PQI and Philips, as well as licensed USB flash drives from Disney. With regards to optical media, meron silang Sony, iOmega, Ridata and TDK. CD-R King is where we get our stocks for retail sa office. I've used some of their products too, and I have no complaints.

    *Kikko possible. pero i unlikely. maaring nakaka-kuha sila nang mga stocks direct from other distributors then tubo nang konti kaya medyo mura. ewan natin. so far, kahit me brand yung binibili ko sa cd-r king e ok naman e.

    they are generics but not fakes, as longs as they are working prefectly, the difference is the brand and the quality, somehow some generic uses cheaper raw materials, but in a y way if it works thats what matters

    Fake is fake, working or not working, brand and quality-wise.

    If it carries a different brand, hindi na fake yun bec. it already carries its own name, ergo, separate entity na siya.

    *all:
    I was referring to the mems they sell.

    Eto na lang example: Kingston USB Data Traveller 1Gb retails for about $40-50 sa internet (free shipping if within the U.S.); CD-R King sells it for Php1200-1300 the last time I checked. Medyo malaki yung difference. Add mo pa yung import tax + 12% VAT + CDR-King's mark-up less yung selling price nila eh magkano na lang yan? Too low IMHO, and there is no way na maging orig yun.

    As for the discs, I don't have any idea.

    Boss Kikko, usually sa Taiwan gawa mga memory modules so it comes out cheaper than in the US, less freight and additional taxes. Pwede ka naman mag-refund sa kanila if you are not satisfied. Like when I returned the Bluetooth headset we got there, they refunded me the full amount naman after telling them that I'm not satisfied with the product.

    Yes, it is very possible that we could be getting substandard products.

    Hmmm, I guess there's only one way to find out kung fake ang mga binebenta nila: buy one directly from them and do a side-by-side comparison, esp. data transfer speed and time. Diyan lang naman nagkakahulihan kung fake or hindi eh (pwede mo rin palang baklasin yung case ng USB FDD or memstick mo then check mo yung chip na ginamit).

    And lucky you kung binigyan ka ng refund. Sa sobrang dami ba namang masusungit na tindera diyan, nakow. Notorious na yan sa TPC.

    ot:drugs that came from india sells cheap, same brand example pfizer drug for people with heart problem sell at 25pesos more or less, local drug of the same brand same manufacturer sell it for 90pesos more or less

    difference is the source of raw materials, pfizer approved as well, but BFAD doesnt so its considered illegal, multi milion labels here wants to earn more perhaps.

    BUT, there are drugs that are really fake, they carry the same brand almost the same packaging but the content isnt the same, substandard or placebo...

    ^^^ If it is Pfizer approved then it is not fake, just substandard (I wonder why Pfizer approved it in the first place).

    re: Kingston Data Traveller 1GB; i bought 1 around 3 weeks ago for P1,200.00 from my suking computer retailer, not from CDRKing. hindi naman siguro ito fake, so hindi rin fake ang benta ng CDRKing. baka naman smuggled?

    May branded namang ibinebenta ang CDRKING pero karamihan generic. Wala namang problema yung mga products nila hanggang ngayon nga buhay pa mga optical mouse na binili ko.

    Yeah, I missed that point. Possible din na smuggled.
