August 20^th, 2003 (12:00am) - Datel Electronics, the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of video game enhancement products, has announced the release of Action Replay Max, the next-generation of game enhancers for the PlayStation 2.

Packed with never before seen features, the Action Replay Max takes advantage of the growing popularity of broadband console gaming to deliver easy code updates and save transfers. Traditional game enhancement features such as Mega Memory Management tools, DVD Region X software, and an updated version of the Action Replay cheat engine are also included.

Using any PS2 compatible Broadband Network Adapter, Max users will be able to go online through their PS2 and download new codes with a single press of a button. Gamers will also be able to download game saves from CodeJunkies.com, the official Action Replay Max support site, directly to any PlayStation2 memory card, requiring no PS2 to PC link cable or software.

A new Quick Mode allows beginning cheat device users to enable codes in seconds, with a user friendly, graphics driven interface. Advanced gamers can use the Expert Mode to customize their code selections. Both modes utilize Action Replay’s exclusive "intelligent code" technology, ensuring no cheat code conflicts occur which may adversely affect game play. The technology also benefits gamers who do not have broadband access, as it verifies manual code entry to ensure accurate codes that function exactly as the code creators intended.

"The Action Replay Max is the result of fine tuning over 15 years of Datel’s cheat device development," says Ken Tarolla, Senior Vice President of Datel Design & Development, Inc. "We’ve taken all the game enhancer features that gamers have been asking for, and put them together in one package. From effortless code downloads directly through your PS2 to a more user friendly environment, Action Replay Max is everything a gamer could want in a cheat device."

Action Replay Max will be available in late August for $29.99. The Max comes complete with a memory storage unit to add new codes with no additional hardware required. An Action Replay Max packed with an 8MB memory card, allowing for game saves as well as additional code storage, will be available for $39.99.
