Burnout 3 PS2 memory card problem

Hi guys,

I bought a copy of Burnout 3 (Platinum edition) for the PS2 a while ago and like it a lot - unfortunately I can't really enjoy it because I can't save my progress to either of my memory cards.

The game displays the following error message on startup: "No memory card (PS2) inserted. You cannot currently save your progress." If I insert the *other* card at this point, that one does get recognized, however, when I try to create a new profile, I get the message "Save failed. An error occurred while saving game data to the memory card (PS2) in slot 1.", then the first message is repeated.

The console is a brand new, unmodified 77004 (PAL), the cards are brand new 8MB and 64MB Sony ones. No other game has similar problems.

Any idea what might be happening? Should I try a 3rd party card perhaps?

Thanks in advance!

Hi - I saw your post and I too am facing the exact same issue - I am not sure if the card will work only after a reset, I do not want to do a reset as that would make my score go back to zero...

If you could resolve this issue in some way, please let me know as well.

Thanks,
Anoop

...the criterion games site? These guys will probably be able to help if no one here can and are worth a shot!
