Dear Capcom Insider
Capcom received the following warning from Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. today.
CONSUMER ALERT: HOLIDAY 2004 DEMO DISC GLITCH
If you have received a copy of the Holiday 2004 Demo Disc including the playable Viewtiful Joe 2 - please take note.
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(s). If you have not yet played the Viewtiful Joe 2 demo, please remove your Memory Card(s) from your PlayStation(R) 2 computer entertainment system before you load the Holiday 2004 Demo Disc.
Sony Computer Entertainment America would like to express our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
How Emo is that?!
Hmmm... no matter how sincere, an apology isn't going to replace the countless hours on countless games spent on those save files. Then again, my roommate and I beat Siphon Filter in a weekend because we didn't have a card to save, so we just played it all the time and didn't turn the console off. But most games now require many more hours than are contained in a month, much less a weekend.
