looking for action replay

Is there anyway to get one of these things really cheap? I'd love to get some updated rosters for 2k5, but I really don't want to pay $30 to just use it one time.

I assume it was used? Did the memory card work (I just read on here where the majority of the time the memory card it comes with doesn't work properly).

brand new-- memory card is fine

Well, then maybe I'll give this a try then. I really haven't played 2k5 since I bought Madden 06 (which I actually enjoyed), then NCAA 07 (hated it, but got my money's worth playing my roommate).

I am still on Xbox, and I highly doubt Madden and NCAA will be worth the $40 for me to get my football fix this year.

I do have a question for you puja about your rosters (I've read a fair amount of your huge thread late last night, so sorry if it is a bad qustion). Do you have updated pictures, like of all the players who weren't in the league when 2k5 was released? Could anyone tell by your rosters that they weren't done by a video gaming company, but by some individual (i.e. are they that good?).

unlike MVP '05 you cant update the player pictures for 2K5 even with a modded xbox. however, some people do use incorrect, old pictures in their roster updates (eg put Brock Huard's pic on Phil Rivers). personally i hate this method, so my new players all have blank photos.

beyond the issue of pictures, are they that good? lol i dont know. i think they are pretty good, but of course it's a matter of preference.

And I believe I read that your rosters don't include changes to the way the game plays (like daflyboys tweaking). I assume he would have his own set of rosters (perhaps yours) and then make his changes and allow us to download them? I haven't played the game in some time, so I don't remember any flaws it had, but could I download rosters that included these changes so the game played better?

If I do get the AR, I am opening myself up to limitless options right? Like getting All-time teams, different years, etc. It seems to really help replayability. I wish I would have caught onto this a few years ago instead of paying $50 for Madden and NCAA.
