Every EA Sports title I've ever owned (multiple years of Tiger, NASCAR, etc.)... but only EA games. The oddest little thing seems to make it happen sometimes.

And no, it's not something stupid like turning off during a save. It has seriously "just happened". Followed by howls of rage, of course.

My stupi d friend just shut down my ps3 during a MGS4 isntall today. The huge text saying "Do not shut of the ps3" should have given him a hint about what not to do. I hope nothing screwed up too badly.

I've gotten so many game saves corrupt on me that it's not even funny.

STALKER was the last one i remembered. If you update the game with the patch, it renders your saves useless..that's why you sometimes need to read the read me's i guess.

NWN2 had a bug in the game that two characters have a chance of having their save information merge together so if you need one for a cutscene, the game freezes... I had to download a new save for that character to get around it.

Blood Omen 2 for the PS2. I was really far in the game, when I walked into a room and got the grey screen of death. I tried loading the game on 3 different playstations and every time grey screen of death in the exact same spot.

I convinced my dad to purchase Assasins Creed instead of Rainbow Six, so I too could play it later. But I just finished GTAIV and mass effect, and he hadn't played it, so I decided I'd give it a go. Long story short, I got to about 3hrs before the end of the game. Then he wanted to play it NOW.

And who would've guessed a next-gen game in this day and age would have 1 save file? So much for beating assasins creed.

My Crackdown save doesn't work after getting a replacement 360 for my second console to die due to RROD.

A few times, which is why I now make multiple saves, or in some cases backup the save file onto a memory unit.

I've lost characters and save games with hundreds of hours of gameplay on them, and the thought of that happening again makes me be extra cautious when I have important save files :)

I think you get corrupted data when you power off your system while saving, or thats what has happened to me.
