I don't know if anyone else got the PSU Winter '04 demo disk in the mail, but I did yesterday. It had a Viewitful Joe 2 demo, along with some videos and stuff that they released on the internet about VJ1, and some other shit demos, like Jak 3 and R&C3. Anyway, I play the demo, I enjoy it.

Now this is where the story gets good. Or really ridiculously shitty. Depends on your whole POV.

I take it out and go to play some Katamari Damacy. The game tells me I have no data. Perplexed, I go to the PS2 browser and look at my memory card. It somehow became unformatted. I reformat it and replay a level of KD to create a save file. Then I play the VJ2 demo again. I go back to the memory card, and it's unformatted again. Did this happen to anyone else? I would't recomment playing the disk with a memory card in your machine if you get it. It just lost 54 hours of progress in Dark Cloud 2, 35 hours of La Pucelle Tactics, and a lot of other shit that I was almost done with, but not quite. I think I really fucking hate Sony today for mailing this virus to me.
 
I wonder if the VJ2 demo is on the OPM disc and if it has the same glitch. Otherwise, I'll take out my memory cards when playing demos.
 
I didn't notice it until like now, and didn't see the other thread about it. Either way, I played the demo before that thread was posted. fucking Sony.
 
Damn, I really dodged a bullet. I saw the new demo disc in the case at hastings a week ago, read the back and decided to purchase then spent 10 minutes looking around the store for an employee to open it. I didn't find one so said "screw it" and walked out. Never have I been so happy that my local Hastings has crappy customer service!
 
There's no Killzone demo...

It's Jak 3, Ratchet 3, VJ2, ATV3, Tak 2, Spyro, Ace Combat 5, Star Wars: BF, Crash Twinsanity, and the Incredibles.

Got the demo.
Played Viewtiful Joe 2.
Screamed bloody murder when I found out all my data was gone the next night.

Hopefully y'all can dodge the bullet.

Btw, it doesn't erase HDDs. At least it didn't erase mine.
 
That's a good idea, a revenge thing, this kid put a chaos cheat on my San Andreas save and Wednesday's his b-day! I gotta get one b4 they are recalled

Yeah, I got the same one.

Good thing these things go to my permanent address and not school because my memory card would have been erased, and I would have been pissed.
 
hey guys, I FINALLY completed the ambulance missions and I'm about to get 100% complete in GTA:VC. But I really wanna try this VJ2 demo first, so I'm gonna check it out first.
 
read yer mail folks, I got the e-mail 2 days before i got the disc (got it on saturday, e-mail on thursday). Sorry if you lost anything importnat, but look at it this way. You now have a full memory card to fill up again ^_^. (can't believe capcom let that bug slip through, and can't believe whomever is responsible for QA on the disc didn't catch it).
 
[quote name='Alpha2']Demos arent usually subject to QA they arnt completed games and they tell you to expect gliches.[/quote]

Glitches are too many jaggies or having your main character drop through the floor.

Things like frying your PS2 or erasing your memory card - that's disasteriffic (i admit it - i just started FFX2)
 
Interestingly enough, I got my PSU Holiday 2004 disc Saturday, but with no VJ 2 demo on it. It has Ratchet & Clank 3, Jak 3, ATV Offroad Fury 3, Killzone, MGS 3, Area 51, Silent Hill 4, Prince of Persia 2, Star Wars Battlefront, & Ace Combat 5. I was wondering if anyone else got a disc like this.
 
The point is it wasnt subjected to the tighter testing that consumer games are. Whether it be crashing the system when you turn a corner or some bit or errant code that writes over your memorycard.
