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!

It doesnt always work all the time (Rating: 1.00)
Review : I have bought it and i thought i may use it as a help if I got in trouble. Unfortunately the websit as well the saves that already comes with it doesnt work. So I would suggest not to buy it and just play without cheats. Just be in the real world and would be fun if there is no cheaters like this idiot machine

not worth the money (Rating: 1.00)

Worst Action Replay ever (Rating: 1.00)
Review : Who let the codes out?! No, seriously. I was looking forward to enjoying Grand Theft Auto III with this replay. No codes at all! Instead there are those freakin' powersaves from PS2's Action Replay MAX. The powersaves are really game save files packed with some features. Otherwise, this version isn't worth your time or your cash well spent.

Review : First off,I know a ton about the Action Replay so if you have any questions just talk to me. The Action Replay Memory card is a different kind of card. It isn't like the Microsoft one. For most games the AR mem card works. But you have to experiment. I went out and bought a Microsoft Mem card and it works great. For some games you must use the microsoft one. I was only like 15 bucks at my local game store. No big purchase. However there are a small percent of saves that are corrupted and you cant do anthing about it. I love my AR. I love to play as Elites in halo and drive the wraiths. You just have to know what you are dealing with. If You have any further questions or comments here is my contact info:
