cables and adapters

As the box states; "Unleash the power - Beat the Game!" "The World's Most powerful Game Enhancer!".... sounds pretty good, and the past ones have been pretty good. As good as the Gameshark (even though they are the same, Gameshark = USA, Action Replay = Euro) in the past. Well, this one fell very short on my expectations. The only thing this offers at this time is 'PowerSaves'... Game saves for the games... Ok, sure, we've seen this on the Dexdrive, but Action Replay?.?.? It's not what I expected, and I think alot of other people are going to be disappointed in it, as I was. Where are the Cheats? Where are the Codes? Not in this package. Hopefully this will change... Save your money at this time... wait to see if they put the cheats/codes feature into it....

Out of the box, this unit has worked flawlessly for me. I have not had one corrupt file. I was able to transport many saved games from the XBox onto my PC where I can now back them up onto CD if necessary.

The only thing I can say about corrupt files is possibly people are downloading the wrong files or maybe, Intec has fixed the problems?

For me, this was something I needed. For one, Madden 2k4 doesn't have Live support, yet people had updated rosters that I wanted to import. This allows that to happen.

As for XBox Live, I don't play enough on-line to justify the annual price Microsoft charges, so this again allows me to obtain rosters and such.

I think the main problem with many people's reaction to the AR unit is that they felt it was a "cheating" device, giving you tons of cheat codes and such. Reading the description should not be giving them that feeling. This unit is a save game/save files transporter. It allows you to move your saved games/files from your Xbox to your PC. At that point, you can then share your files with friends. It also allows you to share and/or obtain saved files that open up levels to games where you are stuck.

The price of the package is mainly for the 8 meg memory unit in my opinion. That would be only one of two issues I have with the Action Reply. I already have a memory unit, so it would have been nice to buy this without a memory card. However, unlike other people, I have had no problems with the memory card that came with AR nor with my official Microsoft XBox memory card. Both work just fine with the Xbox Action Replay unit.

My only other gripe is for some games, 8 megs is not enough to move data. This is especially true with Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic. Each save file is 1600 blocks, which is bigger than 8 megs. So, you will be limited to files that are smaller than 8 megs. But, that's not all bad as most save game files are relatively small.

I say buy this from a store that would allow you to return it and try it out. I have not had any problems with this unit and I think it's actually an excellent buy for those that don't have XBox Live! I know it won't be going back to the store for me!

my son got this prouduct he said that buying this product whas a mistake. that sometimes it works and other timess it dont work. when he goes to use the power save he downloaded on a gme it says the data is damged he goes to try a different powerpowersave and the same thing happens so dont buy this product otherwise you will get ripped off
