"Sorry if this has been asked before: Corrupt MadCatz Memory card, should I throw it in the Bin?"

I have a MadCatz memory card as the official one wasn't available at the time I bought my PS2. I've had it 9 months and it's been fine. I tried to load a game yesterday and my PS2 said the memory card was corrupt. I can't load or save any games and I don't have an option to format the card. I bought it from HMV but they said its not their problem. Sony obviously said the same thing. Have I now got a useless £30 lump of plastic or can I make the card usable again?

Answers/Help appreciated

I didn't get the PS2 at launch, I got it between Xmas and New Year, by then the PS2 was available but the official memory cards had sold out. I normally only buy Official peripherals (have just ordered a new card from SR) but I had to settle for a MadCatz card at the time as it was the only one available.

Does anyone know of a madcatz website? I have found the US site and mailed their tech support people but I can't find anyone in the UK.

Yeah I always buy official stuff. I bought a 3rd party memory card for PSone and it just refused to work with some games. Not only that but some games wouldnt run with that card in....

I always stick with officail products as i have never had a problem with them.

Sorry to here about your saves lost. Was the card really not available when you got your PS2, i got mine on launch and got a Memory card the same day.

Aaah, but will they replace your saves?

B?

Sorry to hear about that, I lost all my saves when my card packed in a while ago but if you stick with official products if anything goes wrong, no matter how long you've had it Sony will replace them free of charge.

What a nice bunch :-)

sorry to here about your card, have you tried to phone madcatz helpline if they have one?, thats all i can think of , this is why i always buy official products because 3rd party sometimes go wrong, but if your official one does you can blame sony lol
