I've noticed on a few sites that many users were complaining about their saves being corrupted and it seems to be a pretty big problem. KaosAngel made a thread about how his was deleted and it seems like it's in line with what others are saying. Has anyone else had this experience? I can imagine that it must totally suck for a save to be deleted from a game with so much content as Mass Effect 2, what a sour way to introduce such a great franchise to a new platform.  
 
Is it really a big problem or would you say this is just sensationalist?

I've never had a file delete itself on me. If I remember correctly KaosAngel said that it has happened with other games, right? Maybe its just a problem with his PS3. If it were a big problem then I imagine there would be so much outrage that it would be impossible not to notice. That doesn't seem to be the case so I bet you are in the clear.

The worst thing about this is that it not only affects your ME2 save file but corrupts everything on your hard drive. At least that's what I'm getting from the posts on the official Bioware forums. It looks almost out of control, go and look at all the raging posts... very sad :( people are losing all their save files for all the games they've ever played on the system.

Played about 40 hours so far. No save data corruption. Just back up your save (if you're really paranoid, turn off autosave) and you should be fine.

Found a solution, simply play ME2 on pc and you shouldn't have any issues.

Running a game that's 30+ hours, only had about 2 lock-ups so far.   

I'm thinking about putting the game down for a while though, at least until a patch comes through. It'll give me some time to finish up LBP2 and some DS games, because damn..Mass Effect 2 really sucked me in!

You can't backup saves that are copy protected.  Since late 2010, most PS3 games are preventing a backup of it. "

Some people like playing Russian Roulette and for them this is bound to be a bit of fun.

Finished the game without any problems at all.

Everytime you try to copy the game it says it's not allowed and when  you go on the information tab for ME2 it flat out says Copy Prohibited.  GT5 does the same thing, as do other games that came out in the late 2010/early 2011.
