Got a 5 pack of these tapes from Amazon. They come in blue wrappers and are called DVM60PRR. They look a bit different from the Sony Premium tapes I am used to. The ones with the yellow wrappers with the people on the front.

The bit that says Premium Digital Video Cassette looks very suspect.

Also the printing on the labels is not as good quality as the other tapes.

Fake or just a bit different?

The blue wrapper is what is sold here in the U.S. and generally manufactured in the Mexico. The yellow wrapper, I believe, is the European design.

Here is a link to the company I buy all my tape stock from with a photo. You'll see it's the same.

Blue seems to be the recommended tapes for NA regions.

Those are fine, I get them all the time.
