I've just bought a 4GB Sony memory stick off eBay which I suspect is fake (because it was only £15 inc p&p).

Do these fake sticks in any way pose a physical danger to the psp? E.g, are there any cases of stick melting or causing electrical damage?

Also, i know these sticks are more prone to corruption, but are they much slower than the official ones?=d

So that means playing ISOs off them is slower?

Had no probs running games off a fake myself. I thought they run faster off any memory stick, fake or kosher, than off the UMD anyway but I might be talking shyte. :P

Fakes are the unknown quantity - Some are good others are bad.

I have had some that work as well as genuine but others have had abysmal read/write speeds, say they are 4gb but only 2gb. problem installing some apps.

Never can tell, but genuine is always better
