Konami Offering an EXCHANGE for Silent HD Collection Xbox 360 Owners [UPDATE]

Posted By: Whitney   August 10th, 2012 | 11:01 am

On Wednesday we learned that Konami has canceled their Silent Hill HD Collection patch for the Xbox 360. Needless to say customers with Xbox copies were not please but the company has offered a little compensation today. Customers who bought a new copy of the game before August 8th can email Konami’s costumer support with a receipt in order to get a free game get an exchange from a list of selected Konami titles. (via Cheap Ass Gamer Forums)

I contacted Customer service and was told:

If you purchased Silent Hill HD Collection for the Xbox 360 new and from a recognized retailer, and still have the original receipt, please send your receipt to Customer Service for verification and further details on how to exchange your product. This offer is only valid for Silent Hill HD Collection (XBOX 360 sku) games purchased on or before 08.08.2012. All requests must be made in writing and submitted on or before 10.07.2012 and is subject to availability. Any inquiries received after this date will not fall under this exchange program.

Saying I was interested I was told:

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and would like to extend the warranty, should you have purchased the game new prior to 08.08.2012 and still have your original receipt from a recognized retailer (not Ebay or for example a 3rd party seller on Amazon (you qualify)), we would like to offer you an exchange.

We will send you a prepaid shipping label for you to return your copy of Silent Hill HD Collection for Xbox 360, for one of the below games.

**This offer is subject to availability and should we run out of a specific game we will contact you to select another.**

We must receive your agreement to this exchange before 10.07.2012 for your game to be eligible for exchange.

No HD Collection Patch for Xbox 360 [UPDATE]

Posted By: Whitney   August 8th, 2012 | 2:58 pm

PlayStation 3 Online Patch Deployed. XBOX 360 Patch No Longer Scheduled for Release

Today, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced that while a PlayStation®3 online title update for Silent Hill HD Collection has been deployed for download via PlayStation®Network, plans for an XBOX®360 title update have been cancelled due to technical issues and resources.

Understanding the issues some users are experiencing, KONAMI issued a title update for Silent Hill HD Collection (PS3), which fixed frame rate issues as well as audio-synching and other reported issues. KONAMI apologizes to any players who are continuing to experience these issues on the XBOX 360 sku.

Well that was a waste of my money. Thanks Konami. 🙁

UPDATE

I contacted Tomm Hulett about the SHD patch he said:

Downpour patches are unaffected by [the HD Patch] announcement

At least we have that to look forward to :/

A Silent Hill Tribute Album in the Works!

Posted By: Whitney   August 6th, 2012 | 10:30 am

Well this is exciting! Some fans are teaming up to put together a Silent Hill Tribute Album and they need your help!

They are looking for fellow musicians and artists to contribute. I really liked what I heard of the samples of the music so far!

A Silent Hill Tribute Album! Made for the Fans, by the fans!

A tribute album of original songs by real artists, inspired by the ambiance, the feel,
the sounds and the music of Silent Hill.

We need musicians and/or artists to dedicate a new composition or artwork for the record!

Just compose a song, do some artwork channeling Silent Hill!

Send it to us and we do the rest!

We hope to stay in close contact to the growing number of contributors through the process, as well as take your suggestions and ideas towards the product.

To submit a song or official volunteer to the project please contact me and get my email address!

When we have enough tracks and track-art, we will compose an album and distribute to all the fans, perhaps even do a ‘pay what you want’ option and donate the proceeds to a charity, or give back to the artists themselves!

Just contact me @ my blog and we can talk some more!

Toymunkey’s painted Pyramid Head statue is a thing of beauty

Posted By: Whitney   August 4th, 2012 | 5:38 pm

I received quite a surprise in my email inbox this afternoon, a press release and photos from Toymunkey studio regarding their painted Pyramid Head statue:

Toymunkey Studios Silent Hill Red Pyramid Thing Painted!!! / Pending Approval

Toymunkey Studios in collaboration with Gecco Corp is proud to announce a new line of PVC Statues based on the popular Konami video game series and hit movie Franchise Silent Hill 2! First shown in unpainted form at Comicon 2012, this debut release promises to capture all the horror and suspense of the original series. These incredibly detailed prepainted 1/6 scale figures are constructed of durable PVC and are due this Fall/Winter. More products will be shown soon!

Just recently unveiled at Wonder Festival Japan for the first time, the painted RPT is represented in all his horrific glory! These official pictures of the Painted RPT are still PENDING APPROVAL by Licensor and may differ slightly from the final product as the masterful paintwork is complete and is approved. Please stay tuned for more official pictures and approved work in future updates!

Please follow us on Twitter and Facebook for a series of announcements and updates.

Toymunkey Studios….A LVL-UP in Toys!

I was very impressed with the unpainted version of the statue I saw in person at Comic Con and I have to say that the painted version is just glorious! I didn’t think I could get any more excited! Pyramid Head looks like he just stepped out of the game and the details in the paint job is just phenomenal! Look at the rust on the the Great Knife and the blood specks on Pyramid Head’s boots!

Gecco Corp’s paint job is a million times better than the official Konami Style HEADLONG Pyramid Head released just two years ago whose paint job was so uninspired, wash out, flat, and dull. The paint job did not do HEADLONG’s amazing sculpture justice. Just compare the paint jobs on the helmet between Konami Style’s 2010 HEADLONG and this Gecco painted HEADLONG. Gecco’s paint job is in a league of it’s own with the use of variations of red, black and browns used recreate Pyramid Head’s rusted helmet while Konami Style’s is just a dull rust orange. Really the two just can’t compare! I am very, very pleased!

I’m amazed that after all these years we are finally getting some affordable high end Silent Hill collectibles domestically…it’s a dream come true!

I know what I’m asking Santa for Christmas this year! 😉

So what do you guys think? Planning on adding Pyramid Head to your collections?

Silent Hill Revelation Trailer Analysis and Screenshots!

Posted By: Whitney   July 29th, 2012 | 1:05 am

Friday was a big day for Silent Hill fans… it was the premiere of the long awaited Silent Hill Revelation 3D trailer!

I’m sure you all have probably watched it by now but if not you can see the full trailer below:

Unfortunately I was busy at work when this trailer was released so I couldn’t really take screens nor could I make this sort of write up earlier. I’m sure I’m terribly late to the party of giving my own thoughts and everyone else has picked apart this trailer by by now! Haha oh well!

With that said, based on what I saw in the trailer I am so excited to see this movie.
