Go ahead. Try to go to InterAct's website. Try to go to gameshark.com. 404. That's what you get.

What's the deal there?

UPDATE: I just asked a friend about it, and he saw this a couple days ago. He called InterAct's Customer Service line, and got a "Sorry we're closed, We're open 9-7" mesage @ 1PM...

Damn. Mad Catz bought Gameshark. Still dosen't explain InterAct's dissapearence...

http://teamxbox.com/news.php?id=4038

Mad Catz Interactive announced today that it has acquired the rights to the GameShark brand and the http://www.gameshark.com web site URL from InterAct.

"The GameShark acquisition is attractive and significant to Mad Catz for several reasons," said Morris Perlis, Mad Catz CEO. "First, it enables us to increase the breadth of high-quality offerings available to leading retailers and the gaming community. Second, it further strengthens our position as the leading third party accessories provider in the world, as GameShark is one of the most popular interactive entertainment accessories among consumers. Finally, we believe the acquisition supports our goals for margin enhancement and financial growth. We are delighted to welcome GameShark to the Mad Catz family of products."

Gee... maybe it's because GameSharks have been canceled?

I thought everybody knew this by now... GameSharks are canceled, and Interact is no longer dealing in cheat devices. Although, some other company (Dal?) is going to start making Pro Action Replays in the US now.
(And yes, I know that they're practically the same thing, just with a different name)

Heh, show's how much I cheat http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I'll get out from under my rock, now.

Aww, I was excited for a sec, but then I remembered... yeah, Kent's right. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif Oh well.

I DO find it interesting however, how the Action Replay is being pushed back constantly. Hmm, maybe Nintendo is battling them in court? I'd expect we'd have heard something about it if that was the case, but I dunno...

Gamesharks were developed in Europe and are now realeased be the European comapny that made them. They are now called Action Replays I think. As for Interact, I when Madcatz bought them, they didn't need the website anymore.

[Tsukishima-Ruriko]

Action Replay will be published by Datel in the US (new tentative date of March 23, 2999).

The Gameshark will still be around, as Mad Catz likes name recognition...

[Kent]

...But Mad Catz makes some of the shittiest accessories on Earth. Always breaking and formatting themselves... and sometimes not even being recognized by the system they're plugged into (PSX memory cards come to mind).

Amen to that. I NEVER buy anything from Madcatz because of their shittiness. If you use the MAdcatz controller long engouh, it will fry you dreamcast controller port.

CURSES! NO GAMESHARK?! WHATS LIFE WITHOUT GAMESHARK?!(all though i haven't used one in a while).

I mean, even though I don't cheat as much(i only do when 1. the game sucks 2. I'm on something EXTREMELY hard that i know i can't beat by myself 3. When I'm just playing around. 4.When I've already beat the game 5. To see how the cheat looks on the game 6. If its a rental that i probably never get again(or in a while)

Well, as long as the Code Breaker is still doing fine. Does anybody here have one? If so, is it worth getting?

[Robert_Garcia]

Hmm...? Gameshark.com is back up, it seems...


Oh well...
