Playstation Holiday Demo May Erase Memory Cards

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-an-interesting-feature-you've-got-there dept.

Audigy writes "The 2004 Playstation Underground demo disc (that includes a playable demo of Viewtiful Joe 2) apparently may contain a fatal bug that destroys all data on the memory card inserted into the system when the first save point is passed."

    Wonder if that'll make it into the final game. I guess it's a good thing the PS2 VJ2 got delayed, huh?

    I can see the back of the box now.... "New Viewtiful Format Power! Keeps you playing over and over again!"

    People who have the HDD can back up memory cards to that... sounds like a good reason to do so.

    Though I would financially support this class action just to get the court records, which would include testimony from countless geeks screaming about their deleted Kingdom Hearts save files, you know where they had the UBER gummi ship...

      Wow, if your idea of revenge for someone sleeping with your girlfriend is erasing their playstation memory card would you care to pass her number along to me? For uh,... I need to tell her what a stand up kinda guy you are, yeah, that's it.
