"Why memory cards are utter toss!"

Just lost my 40+ hour Zelda save, Resident Evil save after completing it on all difficulties, Wave Race save and 10+ hour Eternal Darkness save all because of the bast*rd game known as Burnout 2. I can't believe this has happened, there is no way I am going back through Zelda or Eternal Darkness so I might as well lob them on Ebay in a minute. I can not believe this has happened, absolutely bollo*ks. All because some pasty faced programmer left a glitch in the game.

I got my Cube today, from SR; came with an unofficial card. Everything was fine until one game said it needed formatting or it couldn't save, so it wiped my saved games (I'd been playing Mario Kart and Rebel Strike) then said it couldn't be formatted.

Need to blow 20 quid on a proper one. Bah.

Unofficial cards are actually the culprit. They shouldn't be so crap.

I simply cannot believe this :'(

Didn't Shigsy actually warn for people to use official cards for their Zelda saves?

I have three Game unnofficial ones, and I've never lost any data. I always keep stuff backed up though, like I have a spare memory card with all my major saves (Zelda, Mario, Skies, Melee etc.) on just in case.

Another quality post for the clown amongst us...

Anyway, I am taking it back tomorrow, its happened twice since with my unofficial card and then once after I had finished the driving school on my official card. Will take it back and swap it for another pick up and play title. I just want something I can pick up and play without having to sit down and play it for a goodly while just to get into it. Not sure what to get in return mind you.

1080?

Not really much sticking value, wanted something that I would go back to again and again.

Have you got an Xbox?

Sold it. Will probably get a couple of PC games.
