GristyMcFisty used our news submit to tell us that over at C|Net they
are saying PlayStation 2 owners are discovering that a demo disc distributed by
Sony could accidentally erase the memory cards attached to their consoles,
wiping out many hours of progress in games such as "Grand Theft Auto."
 Sony acknowledged the problem last week in a postcard sent to members of its PlayStation Underground fan club, warning members to be careful with holiday demo discs sent out last month. Don"t play the trial version of the Capcom adventure game "Viewtiful Joe 2" included on the disc, Sony warned, unless you want to start over from scratch on every PS2 game you own. "It has just been brought to our attention that there is a glitch in this demo which will erase all of your saved files from your memory card," Sony stated in the advisory. "If you have not yet played the "Viewtiful Joe 2" demo, please remove your memory card from your PlayStation 2...before you load the Holiday 2004 Demo Disc. |
Ooops! Well, we hope by reading this, if you didn't see
the postcard you know what to do now. Please take a minute to visit over at C|Net and read the whole
story.
