Japanese police arrests fake PSP memory stick vendor
We thought that Sony‘s ordeal concerning fake memory sticks was over, but apparently we were wrong. Just recently, Japanese police arrested a Chinese student and his wife for selling fake Sony PSP Memory Sticks. The police found 19 pieces of 2G memory sticks in his home where he and his wife were hiding. He sold each of these counterfeit memory sticks for Â¥ 8000 yen (around US$ 67), a price far cheaper than the original Â¥ 20,000 (about US$ 169).
Peng Xiong, 26 and a student at Kyoto University in Japan, has admitted that the counterfeit memory sticks gets shipped overseas with the help of a friend. Peng Xiong had sold more than 400 fake PSP memory sticks and the amount transacted has reached ¥ 2.5 million.
Up until now, the Japanese police are still investigating where these fake Sony PSP memory sticks came from, but illegal sellers didn’t seem to have taken this legal action very seriously. Sony is expected to address this matter as their trademark copyrights are at stake, not to mention the trust of millions of PSP gamers who rely on their quality products.
