Konami has put up and official splash page for the upcoming Silent Hill releases. It’s interesting to note that despite what Amazon says the official HD Collection release date is still listed as March 6, 2012.

New EU Downpour Ad Spotted (and a Release Date Too?)
Posted By: Whitney February 19th, 2012 | 12:48 pm
Over on the Hell Descent forums Twoback posted two small images from the latest issue of 360 Gamer of their positive Downpour preview and a new ad!
This months issue of 360 gamer has a very encouraging and positive preview of Downpour.It states the game has the potential to be the best entry in the series since SH2 and is miles away from “The gun toting mess that was Homecoming” The article goes on to praise the games deep atmosphere and its return to the more psychological and explorative nature of the earlier titles. Interestingly the preview also cites March 13th as the games release date,so maybe the outlook for Europe isnt as bad as we all expected.
So folks over in Europe could possibly get Downpour the same day as in the US, this is definitely good news! I hope Konami Europe with confirm this date soon.

Silent Hill HD Collection Delayed Again? Amazon Says Yes
Posted By: Whitney February 19th, 2012 | 12:21 pm
Well this isn’t very good news. I received an email in my inbox this morning stating:
The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher, and we want to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:
“Silent Hill HD Collection”
Release date: March 20, 2012
Estimated arrival date: March 20, 2012
No word from Amazon on how this will affect their $5 credit bonus towards Downpour/Book of Memories for pre-ordering as the original the bonus description is still listed on the product page. The problem is the $5 credit code will only be e-mailed within two days after the HD Collection ships. Since Downpour is out on the 13th, a week before HD Collection’s new release date, there’s no possible way we can use the $5 credit towards Downpour unless Amazon decides to send out the promo-codes early. I know I’m not waiting to get the game just to save $5!
I would also like to point out that Amazon’s March 20th date is an estimate. For all we know the game could be delayed even further as there hasn’t been an official statement made by Konami about this new delay. I hope we will hear something soon. 🙁

Silent Hill 2 and 3 Playstation 3 Themes on PSN
Posted By: Whitney February 15th, 2012 | 5:58 pm
Last week Playstation US released some Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 themes on the Playstation Network for purchase. I don’t have a Playstation 3 myself so I wasn’t able to check them out but Amy from Alchemilla Hospital.net has taken some pictures of the themes available and posted them up on her site!
Silent Hill 2 Premium Theme ($1.99) (4 styles)
Silent Hill 3 Premium Theme ($1.99) (4 styles)
Pretty snazzy if you ask me… but I find myself wondering yet again WHERE IS THE XBOX LOVE KONAMI?!?!

Rant: US Silent Hill Downpour Pre-Order Bonuses
Posted By: Whitney February 14th, 2012 | 12:58 am
After seeing Best Buy’s disappointing pre-order bonus today I just had to write this…
The Pre-order bonuses in the US totally suck! We aren’t getting any sort of physical items only a variety of in-game weapons, which is so lame given that the inventory system in Downpour won’t let us hang on to said bonus in-game weapons as we play! What makes it even worse is that other countries are offering some kick ass physical goodies for pre-ordering in addition to the same bonus in-game weapons.
In Mexico they are giving away mugs, flashlights and laptop cases While in Australia two retailers are offering a very cool Downpour t-shirt and poster combo.
I am le sad. I put an order into Amazon so at least I won’t have to pay sales tax, I get the game on the release day with free shipping and a $10 Amazon credit. Also since I pre-ordered HD Collection there as well I can take $5 off my Downpour purchase.
I also put in a pre-order to Australian retailer JB Hi-Fi (who’s willing to ship internationally) so at least I’ll have some cool Downpour bonus items coming for my Silent Hill collection.
So are you guys disappointed as well? If you are pre-ordering which retailer are you going with?
