PS2 Action Replay Adds MP3, DivX, Genesis Emulation

Thanks to 1UP for its article discussing the forthcoming, impressively feature-rich Action Replay Max for PlayStation 2. This Sony-unapproved third-party USB drive/CD combo includes the ability to "burn a CD of MP3 music, DivX video, or Genesis/Mega Drive ROMs [on your PC], which will then play back on an Action Replay-equipped PS2", and, similar to previous versions, "...will circumvent the PS2's DVD region lockout, and also stream MP3 music or DivX video from a PC connected to the PS2 by way of its Network Adaptor." In addition, the device can "download new cheat codes through a broadband Internet connection, or accept new codes loaded on a CD-R or Datel's own USB flash drive", and finally, Datel "has also added its PS2 online chat and instant messaging client to the Action Replay package."

Dude, 3rd party memory cards? Come on. "Thou shalt not buy 3rd Party memory cards unless thou is asking for trouble" is practically the 11th commandment by now. Controllers and other things you can sometimes get away with, but never, ever buy 3rd party memory cards, unless you're completely willing to lose all your data. It's been this way since the PSX, and I don't see the trend stopping any time soon.
