AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Sony sent out a game demo that erases whatever memory cards you have in the slots when you put the disk in. We got a post card yesterday AFTER my youngest son erased years of gaming stuff on two memory cards. Both of my boys are extremely upset.

Did this happen to anyone else?

It Would Seem....

a company as big and credible as Sony would make some kind of payback for such a thing? I would hound them to death till you got something for your loss. Good luck!

My sixteen year old e-mailed a scathing diatribe demanding some kind of recompense.

Yeah, I read about this. I wonder what Sony will do about it. This is a really huge mistake...

The one that just came in the mail? I think (hope) my files are still there.... At any rate, my bf's card is in right now I think, so all I'll lose is Katamari Damashi.

Now, if it were my near 100% FFX-2...

Oh yeah, I signed up for that thing when I had a PS before (though didn't subscribe) and got some free discs. I forgot where they had came from. Thanks for the recall.

Yea, I've just checked and my files are all fine. Perhaps it's a certain demo that's doing it?

All you'll lose is Katamari? It would be a shame if that were to happen because then you would become an obsessed freak like me trying to finish it all over again! Damned catchy theme songs and excellent game play, so addictive!

Seriously though, I can't believe that Sony let this bug slip by.

Thankfully I found the demo of absolutely no interest this time, or I'd have been screwed.
