When games go bad.

The main point of this post is to see if my fellow escapists can answer a question the rest of the internet seems reluctant to answer. My girlfriend and I brought GH World Tour on Saturday for her Wii. We got it home and started it up, me on the new guitar and her on the GH3 guitar. The new World Tour developed a mind of it's own and started playing notes at random, messing up combos and such as it went. Does anyone know if this is a common fault? How do I fix it? Does it happen on other formats?

Also, out of mild curiousity, what for you was / is the worst ever fault you had with a game or gaming related paraphernalia? Mine was a PS1 store brand memory card wiping itself clean. Oh, did I mention it contained all my FF7, FF8 and FF9 data. I hadn't finished FF8 at this point and was on the 3rd disk.

I had a PS2 unlicensed memorycard with twice (omg) the data capability. Only problem was that you had to put in a disc first in order to make the playstation recognize it. This took forever, and it only worked with some games so... major Failure

Not really a game, but I have lost all faith in any and all gamecube controllers that do not bear Nintendo's official seal. One pair I got died within a month of purchase. I kid you not. Not to mention that the damn things are so freaking hard to FIND.

Quite recently my ps2, coz of age probably, decided it was going to be selective on certain discs and decide not to run others. One of which was my cheat disk.
