Customer Reviews:
Very unhappy with the toy
The car worked for less than 5 minutes, and will not operate anymore. It was a waste of money. Although it was really cute while it worked.

Five Stars
I have used this item before, it is very easy to install, I found the price on Amazon to be reasonable.

Filter is fine!
This is the correct replacement filter for my model refrigerator and the filter works just fine. Great price!

Great tasting water
Honestly I can’t tell a difference in my water whether it’s filtered or not, but my water tastes good and thats what matters. No issues with this product.

1/2 of Sears Price
Excellent product from PUR exact replacement and you get two for half of what Sears charges for one. A NO BRAINER!

Fit my Kenmoore fridge! Bargain price
Super fast free shipping. Love Amazon for that. Cost much less than half of what Sears wanted for one of these. Works perfect, water tastes great again, even comes out faster, a stronger flow.what else can I say? Buy these at Amazon,but if you can, wait for the price to drop below 30.00.

A pain in the butt
My son bought this with his birthday money. The box says it’s compatible with Windows Vista, but I couldn’t get the code manager software to recognize the DS. Then, I read online that Replay wasn’t compatible with Vista. Luckily, I have Windows XP on another computer.

On XP, the software recognized the DS. However, I could not get the Action Replay cartridge to load the games. The software said I did not have enough memory even though the cartridge was empty. Once more, I checked online for some tips.

Here is the tip: turn off the DS. Hold down the A and B buttons, turn on the DS and then push the select and start buttons (those two at the top of the of each edge of the DS) all at the same time (as soon as it turns on). There, it’s reset. Many thanks to that wonderful poster on the Neoseeker website (username: R_E_A_P) who gave this tip. I am grateful.

Throughout it all, I have to say the manual is just horrible. I’m usually good at deciphering manuals, but this one lead me on a convoluted journey here and there. There are illustrations of different screens but the buttons on the screens are merely referred to but not identified. It is not abundantly clear to me that the asterisk at the bottom of the screen is the select button, nor could I tell from the illustration what the pencil icon was for. It has no troubleshooting section and only one question listed in its FAQ.

There is a page posted on the Neoseeker website by someone named Vermillion detailing installation and setup that is much easier to follow.

Okay, now that all is said and done, my son loves his Action Replay. So does his friend (I got his friend one for his birthday.) I’m told his friend is on it everyday; and my son would be, too, if I let him.

If only it was easier to set up, I’d give it a full 5 stars. Because setup was a headache and it came with poorly written instructions, I’ll give it 3 stars.

UPDATE 6/3/09: I am downgrading this to 2 stars. My son complains that his Action Replay no longer works. In fact, I inserted it and turned on the DS to find his screen stuck on the warning that the product is not licensed or endorsed by Nintendo. Pushing A+B+select+start doesn’t work. I am returning this tomorrow. Apparently, his friend got more use out of it, so I will downgrade it to 2 stars for unpredictably being unplayable.

7 year old review!
My 7 year old son says that he likes it but that some of the “cheats” for Pokemon Platinum don’t work.

My son gives this a 5 star
Be really careful not to do the “quick update” as stated in earlier reviews. I told my son about it but the first thing he did was the quick update and wipe everything out! I did the following steps and it worked fine. This has been the most excited I’ve seen my son in a long time!

Try resetting the Action Replay by following these steps:

Insert the Action Replay into the DS

While the Action Replay software is loading, press and hold all the following buttons: A + B + Start + Select.

Release all of the buttons once the Action Replay is at the main menu.

The first screen should persist for much longer than normal, and when the Action Replay DS main menu loads, your hardware should be reset.

Once the reset has been performed, try connecting the USB cable to your PC, opening up the code manager software and transferring data again.

It won’t return all of your games back, but it will allow you to start on a clean slate again.

It Does Work
Yes this product works very well, it helped me beat my game in the few days it took me to fly from Spokane Washington where I’m stationed to my deployed location over in the Middle East, where I am at right now. I love this product, and if other people would learn to read to see what they need to do, then they would too. Although I have an unfair advantage, I work on computers for a living for the U.S. Air Force >< so I'm a bit ahead of the game when it comes to being computer savvy. But really, even my mother who knowns NOTHING about computers was able to work this thing for my sisters kids! It's not that hard people, just quite being stupid and read what you have to do to get it to work.

Great game adapter
My son is very happy with this game adapter. It is what he was expecting
