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."

    ...I wonder how many other forthcoming demo discs will have playable copies of Viewtiful Joe 2 on them that do the same thing.

    Egad that would piss me off... 80 hours on FFX and 35+ so far on Star Ocean 3, plus months on other various games... yeah, I don't like to think about memory cards being erased; it gives me the willies.

    Thanks, Slashdot, for posting this story and helping make others aware. :)

    Vice City has had this feature for years now, stick more than two cars in a garage and bye-bye save game.

    Of course this new, improved Demo Disc feature does do your whole memory card... I guess I'm out of touch with the modern gamer, in my day we wanted to keep our save games....
