MLB
Platform: Sony PSP

Bug/Glitch: Pretty nasty bug in MLB. Happened last night... Red Sox v. Mariners at Safeco. Jason Varitek at the plate and he quickly falls behind 0-2. Then the catcher drops strike three (can't remember if I swung or not) and runs to the backstop to get it, but doesn't throw to first like he's supposed to. The play ends and it goes back to the batting view, and the madness begins... Varitek is still standing at the plate in his batting stance, only his bat is now laying on the ground in front of him. The count is 0-3. The pitcher winds and throws... Varitek swings and misses (still without a bat), count is now 0-4. This continues until the count shows 0-12. Then all of a sudden, on strike 13 Varitek makes contact with his phantom bat! Popup to right field and he's OUT! The game resumed normally after that.

Fix/Solution: None provided.

Bug/Glitch: I had a similar thing happen with the bat problem. I had a ball get past the catcher and when things resumed the batter was still at the plate with the bat lying on the ground next to him. He was still ready to hit though without the bat. So, I took a swing with the invisbat and he hit a pop fly which was caught for the out. Yeah, it's annoying but I bought the game expecting bugs of this sort and I even predicted it yesterday in a thread before I even bought the game. I knew they didn't do enough testing and they hurried this game to market to beat out EA and MVP which is coming soon. It is a little sad when you realize that these companies are willing to ship a buggy product just in the name of money. They knew they hadn't done enough testing and yet they shipped it anyway.

Fix/Solution: None provided.

NBA
Platform: Sony PSP

Bug/Glitch: I just bought a PSP and the game NBA. I've noticed that in quick game and exibition mode you are able to change the minutes of the game from 1-12. But in Season mode it is preset to 4 minutes and it is the only setting you can't change. Therefore resulting in 50-60 point games because you have shorter time to accumulate points. Maybe there's a glitch or maybe I am not finding how to change that setting!?!?!

Fix/Solution: None provided.

Metal Gear Solid 3
Platform: PS2

Bug/Glitch: I Skipped THE FURY's fight! I don't know if this is a glitch or not, but this evening I played MGS3 in Hard mode up to the fight with The Fury. My 1 year old nephew was playing with the 2nd controller, I let him because I THOUGHT it wouldn't bring any effect to the game.
As soon as the fight started, I went to the north area to the door you're supposed to enter after the fight, and along the way I shot all the barrels on the left side of the door so that I won't have to deal with it later (in case The Fury use it against me). After that I quickly got into sniper position in front of the closed door (a strategy I learned in one of the uploaded videos). Much to my surprise, The Fury's stamina meter suddenly depleted into about only 5% of it, while I was doing nothing. About 3-5 seconds later, the screen faded to black, and then into the cutscene where The Fury's already being defeated! This mean I defeated The Fury non-lethally, BY DOING NOTHING!.
I don't know what triggered this event, maybe it was really a glitch, or hopefully it was newly discovered secret (by me! Ha!), and if it is, I can only think of 2 possibilities of how to do it:
a) It had something to do with the 2nd controller - my nephew was messing around with it - you know, maybe it's like the Psycho Mantis' fight.
b) Shot the barrels near the door - because that's the only thing I ever did!
Have this ever happened to anyone else? I'm going to try it again (I wish u guys too), who knows, we might actually discovered something big here. Thanks for reading.

Golden Axe (Sega Classics Collection)

Bug/Glitch: In the US version of Golden Axe (found on the Sega Classics Collection), a visual glitch occurs when the characters (any one) casts magic. The visual effects are shifted to the screen's right and it's as if someone gave the camera a stiff swat and left it ajar.

Fix/Solution: None provided. Visual glitches do not affect gameplay.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Platform: Xbox, PS2, Cube

Bug/Glitch: I have a problem robbing the bank. It has happened to me once. If you leave the bank without completing your primary objectives, the main door closes and you cannot open this door to go back into the bank. The only way to go inside is to repeat what you did at the beginning. Go to the roof using the steel stairs and come down through the dome using the rope.

Fix/Solution: None provided, but the way into the bank is still available from the rooftop or the side door, so that is not a fatal glitch.
