Eternal Darkness: Memory Card bug?
I'm thinking of finally picking up Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube based on the praise here (and being a Nintendo game)..
I've heard there was a fatal bug in the game that could cause your entire memory card to be wiped?
Can anybody shed some light onto this?

Well, considering it's like $15 I shall indeed give it a spin.

It was 3am when I was playing that game w/ my eyes half open. Then all of a sudden my memory card erases. I was so sad, luckily it was 3am and not 4am, so I was still able to figure it out after a few minutes of pondering.

Actually, ED is the only game that has locked up my 'Cube. And I'm not talking an Insanity Effect here. The game freezes and I have to reset the system.
Oddly enough, I lent the game to my cousin and he didn't have any trouble with it. Hope my 'Cube is okay...

I got all of the runes, and I never had any lockups.

Not the memory card "bug," but I've been having another issue.
After I beat the boss as Max Roivas, I've gotten a lockup two times. It happens during the cutscene that follows, though at different points. The screen freezes and eventually a little banner comes up saying that there's an error and to consult the Gamecube manual.
I've never had this problem before, so I'm guessing it's the game and not the console. And I really don't think that it's another of the games tricks. Anybody else had this happen?

This really is a great game. Not as great the third time around though, but still good. This game frightened my nephews when they saw me playing it. Especially the part with the tub in a cutscene. They actually screamed. Those insanity effects are pretty great. Besides the "memory bug" effect there were a few others where I thought, NO WAY!
Great game.
Great game.

beat the game through all 3 runes, and never had this problem.
I definately recommend the game to everyone who owns a cube. its really cheap now, and is one of the best games I've played in a while.
