Did you even read the guys feedback. 36 reviews in the last month, and all negative.

What do you think. I bought this one, and while the price looks too good to be true and it's probably a fake, it seems to be working great so far. I'll let you guys know if it crashes.

4 gig card

It's fake, If you look at the pakageing you will notice little bubbles on the edges. Those are your giveaways.

Now my fake stick appears to be working. I've been watching movies off of it for a while now. What should I be concerned about?

Don't... unless you're lucky, the fake one will break after a while. Fake ones use old contacts too. Most fake ones, even if they don't break, will be too slow to play some backups.
