I actually had almost that same experience back in the 90's when I bought my first gaming console with my own money. I bought a PS1, and Final Fantasy 8 with all the money I had save up for months to get, only to find out when I got home that I needed a non-included memory card to actually save my game. My disappointment was immeasurable.

Now technically, you're not required to save the game, and this don't need a memory card in the strictest sense, but the reality is, the console was near useless to me without it.

What was the longest you ever left it on for to “save” progress?
