now a days there lot of generic products that are ridiculously cheap, i have tried some of and im not that disappointed with the quality, but i also used to buy branded items that are far better quality than the generic ones, now whenever i want to buy something im always confuse weather to buy a branded or generic.

Still, go for the branded ones. On the first place, it is right to buy original items. It's not that I don't buy fakes, I did too. It's just that when you buy fakes, you tolerate those who do copyright infringement. That is aside from buying an item which is substandard. Let's say for example a dvd, originals will perform way better than pirated dvds. Pirated dvds are also said to destroy the mechanism of your player. This case applies to all items so think first. Buy cheap which will not last long or more expensive but has a respectable quality.

you have all the right to choose i believe that, but generics are different from fakes, i don't buy fakes too, yeah branded products do have high quality, maybe i am just unlucky to experience buying 2 branded brand new game consoles that are defective... i have some cheap item that i bought that last long too...but again it is always your choice to go for the branded and i respect that...

I usually go with the generic,kongno. I read somewhere the generic is the branded with the label change. I guess when the stores have an over abundant amount of labelled and they can't sell it all, they put a generic name on it. That's why I love these dollar stores!
I've heard that some generic labelled prescriptions aren't as good as labelled. As with anything, you've got choices and there are some things that if they're on sale I'll buy the labelled over the generic. Sometimes it's trial and error.

it really is a trial and error, because i also encountered buying a branded console game that only works for less than 6 months with regards to it's, price its unacceptably weak, i guess im just unlucky with that one but ....
STOUTjodee, my hard earned money for just less than 6 months??? that's what triggered me to try generics, but yeah it really is a trial and error,

I go for the branded if they are affordable. However, some medicine cost a lot so I have to buy their generic. What matters is taking the medicine on time and getting well. Happy mylotting.
