Why wouldnt I want to upgrade?

Also, I forgot to mention. When I was playing games, only one was saving right. The other two would get "saved data corrupted, deleting data".

I guess it might be fake huh? :( Please tell me it isn't so. There was only one store left that had them :(

Yes I'm mad

Ok I think this one is a faker. I thought it might be original since it had the orange circle thingie in front, but looks like it doesnt have the said white item. I just hope they give me my money back. Which i doubt :( Likely, they'll replace it with another working fake :(

I went to the store earlier and they said they don't do refunds. I told them they sold me a fake product then they even had the nerve to say there were no fake products! I showed them the homepage of SC and they couldnt say anything. But when the #$%^W called the store owner he wasn't there anymore. I get the feeling they're gonna avoid me from now on :(

at least do send an email to sc team (the real one) giving details about fake card and its retailers.of course try to not reveal your id, in case the store owner could get angry e....

this won't give you back your card but could prevent these ....shiners to  scam n00bs  :) good luck for your next card !

Keep going back to the store asking for the owner.  If you are young then bring someone older with you. Tell them you are going to contact authorities if the situation isn't resolved.  I would guess they will eventually refund your money to make you go away.

If that doesn't work you might be able to restore the firmware using WiFiMe/WMB and DF's FlashMP program. I'll try to fix it for free if you don't mind sending it to the US. I'll even attempt to get the latest firmware working. PM me if you are interested.

Everythings cool now. Looks like they really didn't know about the fake ones. They said they did some research to see if I was telling the truth, and decided to give me a refund. They said they'll give me a check but I wanted cash. If it was cash, they said they'll give it next week. Also, I checked out this store my friend told me that sells originals. They were out of stock, but should have some when I pick up my cash. Thank for all the help guys :)

Hey I got another Q

I saw this site which reviewed the SC Mini SD ---> http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=32151

Now earlier today I saw an original one but the box was different. It was white, and had the SC in the front, and the back was the same. The fake one I saw came in a similar one. Even the holder inside was different. The original one's box was shinier though.

Since this article came out months ago, could you guys confim if they changed their box or not? Thanks :)

Box is now diffrent. It is now white, with minisd logo on top-left, SC photo in center and 'superCARD' text on bottom. Sorry for no photos, my photocamera isn't here right now :<

You should check the Supercard website, they have ways for you to tell if it is a fake or not.

habasped

Yeah I finally got my original SC! Thanks for all the help guys :)

habasped, glad it worked out for you!

The thing that really sucks about the fakes is that it's usually too late when someone comes to this site and discovers that they have bought a fake and they are srewed.

That is why i am glad to see this turned out for the good!
