Sony Japan accidentally erases 20th Anniversary PS4 contest entries

4.8

Sony Japan has accidentally erased all information obtained from PlayStation owners who entered to win a 20th Anniversary PlayStation 4.

Those who purchased PlayStation 3, PS4, Vita or Vita TV between December 4 – January 15 were handed a calendar with a code which entered them into the contest.

Somehow, all data collected from the customers was erased and cannot be recovered. Sony didn’t provide information on how the data was lost.

Customers can now re-enter the contest by sending all required information in again.

Whoops.

"Sony didnt provide information on how the data was lost."

Meaning they had a big Database issue that they refused to acknowledge beforehand and figured it would work itself out.

At least they are able to re enter the contest, it would suck if Sony just canceled the contest.

I all can say is, "Fail!" You would think Sony would have backups for these kind of things.
