Woah I think this fake manufacturer buys the same box and sticker as R4 team themselves because other than the obvious sans microSD logo and '2GB' sticker there's no way to tell which is which.

not exactly... if you look closely some of the fonts are different.

You guys should make a review on the fake R4.

If the fake R4 is what it looks like it is, they already did, and it got a good score.

btw why clone a $30 product, there's no money in it. how stupid.

Someone bought a bunch of cheap hardware which was non-selling or factory seconds. Paid almost nothing for it and re-badged it. This operation would have to be a fly-by-night; make, take and run.

I research stuff online for 4 months before i ever buy it.

Four Months?!?

I can't think of a product that would take more than two days worth of reading to find out every possible thing about it.

In four months you could've read the entier contents of your local public library..

Its been asked several time before but the R4s for dealextreme are the "Real Deal". The site sells lots of cheap Chinese clone stuff but has never made any claims on products which are dishonest.

Well this is a slap in the face to the M3 cards. First they clone the Supercard & now the
R4. You would think with the M3 being the most expensive slot-2 card they would have
cloned it before the Supercard. They must only clone what’s hot, & the R4 is very hot now.

Hi i am new to this forum but was informed by George of the R4DS team to visit this post and use the info about the fake R4DS on my website ModRevolution.com to help warn people about the fake i am an authorized Retailer of the R4DS out of Canada. I think the fake looks like a lame knock off and people should stay away

I Sell only the REAL R4DS and would have it no other way!!!!

Dont bump year old topics please.

Is this site :http://www.stuffs4kids.com/R4_SDHC_Revolution_p/r4sdhc.htm reliable? And is the product a fake? I saw the reviews...but those could be faked too.
I thought the original R4 team stopped developing R4's? So why does this support SDHC?
I'm pretty new to this, so if anyone can reply to this that would be very helpful! Thank you.

As far as it goes, there are no more "genuine" R4's being made or sold.
