1. Save File Corruption Bug - Soulcalibur III

Soulcalibur III is an interesting example in the genre of save-deleting corruption, as the infamous glitch that came along with it was able to destroy your game data with saves made in other titles!

Yes, the fighting game became notorious due to its peculiar glitch, which corrupted your save files whenever you altered the data on your memory card.

This meant that if you wanted to clear up some space on your PlayStation memory card, or if you did something as simple as overwrite a save of any other game you were playing alongside Soulcalibur III, your Soulcalibur save file would become corrupted beyond repair. Worst of all, the glitch could even break your memory card so badly that it wouldn't work for Soulcalibur III altogether.

The only workaround for the glitch was to get an empty memory card specifically for Soulcalibur III, which, let's be honest, is way too much trouble for something as simple as recording your progress.

For this reason, if you want to check the game out now, you should get the fixed Platinum Edition copy of Soulcalibur III and spare yourself all the headache of keeping the memory card glitch in check.
