Release Date confusion
Posted By: Whitney October 6th, 2009 | 12:54 pmUPDATE: Gamestop.com states the game release is now 12/08/09…no official word from Konami but I’ll keep you posted!
There seems to be a lot of people confused about Silent Hill: Shattered Memories release date and there’s been so many wildly different dates stated all over the net. Why is there so much confusion? It stems from the game’s release being delayed:
Back in the summer we were informed that:
Oct 6, 2009 = original strategy guide release date
Oct 13, 2009 = original game release date
When September rolled around some sites began to state a new release time frame and and as far as I know seem to be correct:
Oct 26, 2009 = current strategy guide release date
Nov 3, 2009 = current US/UK(?) game release date
So a lot of people don’t realize the game has been delayed and assume the old dates are true or various game stores haven’t updated their release dates. I’m not not sure if this delay is just for the US and UK but I’m pretty sure if it was delayed here it’s probably delayed in other areas as well…if not well sucks that US and the UK have to wait!
I noted this for Homecoming and Origins- the strategy guide was available a week prior to the corresponding game’s release.
Anyways, Whitney is correct, readers. Tuesday, November 3, 2009 is the legitimate retail release date in the United States and Canada for Konami’s Silent Hill: Shattered Memories video game on the Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 2, and Sony PlayStation Portable platforms.
Thanks for the clarification! shame though, was hoping to have it just in time for Halloween.
Thanks Brandon! No problem Metus, I’ve have a couple people email this week confused about thet game release so I thought I would make the post. I was hoping to have the game before Halloween as well! 🙂
