Sony Officially Warns of Viewtiful Joe 2 Glitch

Posted by timothy on from the hide-the-children dept.

jZnat writes "Gamespot reports that Sony has made an official announcement warning gamers that the Holiday 2004 Demo disk, which includes the Viewtiful Joe 2 demo, will erase all memory cards in the system at that time. This was originally publicized by Playstation Underground, and now Sony has bit the bullet and confirmed it." Update: 11/27 22:38 GMT by T : Curt Feldman of Gamespot pointed out that his site's name had been garbled as "Gamepost"; no longer.

  1. 2 Holiday demos disks by Collision891 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Apparently a lot of people have been getting multiple demo disks that do not have Viewtiful Joe 2 on them, but instead have Area 51, Prince of Persia 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3 demos replacing some of original demos.

    Luckily i got my disk the day after i got my email so i took out my memory cards.

    Nope. Viewtiful Joe (and VJ 2) is made by Capcom

    Slashdot? Nintentrolls? That's like saying the media is biased to the left.

    This is an important story for the slashdot world. People here love video games, and they spend a LOT of time on them. A bug like this ruins much more than one game, it can ruin every game you play. Even people who could be described as "Nintentrolls" (I'm proud to be one of them) know that demo discs are not going to be tested to the same extent as an actual game.

    So make sure people know, and save them grief. I say "Thank you Slashdot for news we can use!"
