Sony warns of major glitch in Holiday 2004 Demo Disc

SCEA alerts public that playing the Viewtiful Joe 2 demo will erase memory cards.
Over the past few weeks, members of the PlayStation Underground--Sony's US fan club--have been receiving copies of the Holiday 2004 Demo Disc. One of the premier demos on the disc was for Viewtiful Joe 2, which arrives on the console December 7.

Unfortunately, gamers eager to sample the cel-shaded beat-'em-up were in for a very nasty surprise. That's because the demo contained a glitch which will erase all saved games on the memory card or cards currently inserted in the console. Considering many PlayStation 2 owners are currently shooting their way through Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which takes at least 40 hours to finish, the glitch sparked an uproar among PlayStation Underground members.

This week, Sony acknowledged the glitch via a mass e-mail to PlayStation Underground members. Besides conveying the corporation's "sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused," the e-mail also suggested that gamers "please remove your Memory Card(s) from your PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system before you load the Holiday 2004 Demo Disc."

Speaking to GameSpot, a Sony rep clarified the situation, saying "gamers can play anything else on that disc except Viewtiful Joe 2." Said rep also stated that a new, glitch-free batch of discs is currently being mailed out to all PlayStation Underground members--minus the Viewtiful Joe 2 demo. "VJ2 code will be removed from all new discs," said the rep.

You can copy the content of one memory card to another, but most of us don't have that many spare memory cards...

I've been using the same memory card since I got my PS2 a few years back.... I would have been so pissed had I not heard about this already.

Ha, some people have used that glitch to trick other peeps. "Hey John if you play the new VJ2 demo you will get some really cool extras in your memory card".
