Query: Item from PERIDIGM is COUNTERFEIT!!!

The reason this item from Peridigm is so much cheaper is because it is counterfeit. The packaging looks legitimate, it even has a hologram, but when you go to open the plastic clam shell packaging, it opens easily without scissors and the plastic is much thinner. The Sony logo uses a slightly different font in a slightly different color. If I didn't have 8 others, I wouldn't have known. Putting it up next to my legitimate ones, it's easy to spot the fake. The real giveaway was when my Sony battery charger refused to charge it and my Sony camcorder wouldn't recognize it and refused to power on. Fortunately Amazon didn't have any problem giving me a refund. I will be spending a little extra and buying from a reputable company like BH.
