Aaaaargh!!! So pissed off right now since I've just realised I sold my PS3 (to get a newer one) and forgot to copy my save data to a memory stick before deleting everything - most of it was fine, except I've lost my FFXIII data and won't be able to Platinum the game anymore!... thus inspiring this thread.

Same sort of thing happened before when the YLOD struck my old 60GB and I lost Motorstorm 2 data (I needed 3 more gold medals for a gold trophy!) and GRID data (I was on the last race to complete the game!) amongst others.

Probably the most annoying of all was when my GBA ran out of battery just as Pokemon Emerald was saving. The data was corrupt and nothing was salvaged... I must have lost 10+ level 100 Pokemon and played for over 100 hours. I found it hard to get out of bed for months mornings afterwards.

FML... My venting's done, I wouldn't mind hearing some more stories just to see I'm not the only one (actually, I know I'm not, I've seen YouTube videos)... Have you ever had saved data deleted/go corrupt when you spent so long or worked so hard on a game?

It's very rare... I think it's happened only twice, both to the non-Nintendo memory cards I bought (1 for N64, 1 for GC)

Only happened to me once on my 360.

Completed Gears of War in 2007 and started the game again on a higher difficulty to get the achievement and stopped at the 2nd chapter I think.

In 2009 I wanted to continue and every other level in the level select menu was locked with the exception of the one I stopped playing in the second chapter (guess the autosave still worked)

Anyway I can't remember any details but corrupt save files or accidentally deleted save files happened very often to me on my PC.

Actually it just happened recently to me.  Playing Fallout New Vegas,  got about 25 hours into the game and it locked up like it had done multiple times before.  But when I restarted it and went to load up my gamesave it only saw my game saves from my other character.  It deleted every game save off my HDD for that specific character.  25 hrs wasted.   And one of the main reasons why I hate that game

I was a victim of the Castlevania: LoS corrupt save bug on the X360...I made it up to Chapter 9.  The patch in progress still hasn't been released yet and I refuse to touch the game again until it has.

Heh, What's worse is when you'ved missed something in a buggy game like Fallout 3 and you're FORCED to restart yourslef

happened on my gamecube ps2 and ps3

i fill ur pain and will pray for u

My old Playstation scarred me for life. I can still remember that save error sound effect from Star Ocean 2. Also, I found out about the save locking when my 60gb PS3 died.... and it sucked.
