Since many regions have different Demo# on the Packaging vs Disc Label, an important question when building this list may arise: How do I know a disc hasn't been mixed up with the packaging? The answer is to compare the demos on the packaging with the contents of the disc.

For any regional variant verifications, please add the regional details to the master entry which is being verified.

Serial numbers on the spines of some cases were sometimes not updated between issues, leaving an incorrect serial number on the spine (versus the disc), often repeating spine serial numbers across Issues.However in some instances, the same serial number from different regional OPS2M variants have different hashes. Usually serial numbers can differentiate whether a disc from one region will match a disc from another region.This occurred because UK discs were often repackaged to other PAL regions which followed a different numbering system. Discs were often released with a different Issue number on packaging versus disc label.Discs were sometimes unique to different regions.

Discs were often re-released in different regions.

Capcom representatives have said the glitch is not replicated in the full version of the game.Official PlayStation 2 Magazine was released in the United States as well as many PAL territories with accompanying demo discs.

I shouldn't have to resort to cheating just to get back to where I was before.'Ī representative for Sony Computer Entertainment America said: 'We recognize this as a serious issue and are doing everything we can to alert the consumers who received the demo. It is a part of my life that I can't get back. 'Deneteus' wrote in another forum: 'I feel that Sony has just wasted part of my life.My play time is valuable. 'I was five missions away from beating 'GTA: San Andreas,' wrote one poster at the Sony site. Game players posting in online forums on Sony's PlayStation 2 site and other Web venues reported exactly such tragedies. For a complex game such as the new 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas,' which requires an average of 80 hours of playing to complete all missions and side trips, the files saved on the memory card can represent months of diligent work and play. Memory cards are used to save progress in games, allowing players to resume a game from where they left off the last time they played. Sony Computer Entertainment America would like to express our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.' 'If you have not yet played the 'Viewtiful Joe 2' demo, please remove your memory card from your PlayStation 2.before you load the Holiday 2004 Demo Disc. 'It has just been brought to our attention that there is a glitch in this demo which will erase all of your saved files from your memory card,' Sony stated in the advisory. Don't play the trial version of the Capcom adventure game 'Viewtiful Joe 2' included on the disc, Sony warned, unless you want to start over from scratch on every PS2 game you own.

Sony acknowledged the problem last week in a postcard sent to members of its PlayStation Underground fan club, warning members to be careful with holiday demo discs sent out last month. PlayStation 2 owners are seething after discovering that a demo disc distributed by Sony could accidentally erase the memory cards attached to their consoles, wiping out many hours of progress in games such as 'Grand Theft Auto.'
