Great quality (fry's) dvd-r 1x that report to be sony 4x?

[ripit]

So fry's had a 1 day sale of 50 packs of great quality dvd-r 1x for 15$ (no rebate required). I found out last minute or I would have posted (got there right before they closed). I did check them out quick first and saw that they were either princo (kind of crappy but I have got them to work) or leaddata (ld or ld01)which I have not tried but people seem to be having good luck with them (I know that lead data doesn't have the best reputation overall). So I get them home and the media code reads sony and they are 4x disks? Anybody else run across this? The disks are just blank silver on the label side and kind of purple (same color as princos) on the recording side. I thought that maybe they were counterfeit and were actually princos but if they are, they are not 1x (based on limited k probe scans compared to kprobe scans of real princo 1x disks). The media code is just sony (no other leters or numbers). I did not find any 4x disks listed here that were just sony. Anybody have any idea what they are, or why cheapo 1x disks would be sony 4x? It was a 50 disk spindle that was shrink wraped with no markings on the disks or the packaging. Just the little white paper fry's sticker. Maybe someone mis-labeled beter generic ones?

Just "SONY" ???
If so .... FAKES !!!!!

Sony mainly does branded media, and uses SONYD4 media codes.

looking through the media listed, there seems to be plenty of these with 2x or 1x burn speeds. One person claimed that part of a pack were sony and part were lead data? Are fakes like this pretty common? I guess there is not any way to tell what they really are?
