Amazon is offering a pretty sweet deal for those looking to order all the Silent Hill titles coming this March. You can get a $5 Credit for pre-ordering the HD collection to put towards the purchase of Silent Hill: Book of Memories or Silent Hill: Downpour!

Pretty sweet deal if you ask me! So you could knock off $5 off Downpour by pre-ordering HD Collection and another $10 off Book of Memories by pre-ordering Downpour!

Looks pretty cool!

Thanks Cj for the picture!

13 years ago today my favorite video game series started with Silent Hill‘s release on the Playstation! What a long way this franchise has come with 8 (core) games, several spin offs and two movies! Happy birthday Silent Hill 🙂

Konami Japan has listed March 29, 2012 and 4,980 yen as the release date and price of the HD Collection on the PS3 in Japan and even gave a picture of the cover! I doubt it will see an Xbox 360 release though… I have to say I like the American cover a lot better. What do you guys think?

Sony Japan has a preview up for Book of Memories. I can’t tell you what it says but the most interesting bit is the new artwork that was included in the article. We see some new screens, concept art for 4 character types and even get a peek at Pyramid Head.

Siliconera spotted PEGI ratings for Silent Hill 2 and 3 as individual titles for PS3 and Xbox 360 which means we could get each game individually via the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade:

I don’t know about you guys but I’m still planning on buying the collection on disc but I think it’s nice to have the option!

In this second episode I discuss the new Silent Hill HD Collection avatars added to the Playstation Store, the Book of Memories US cover art and the various Downpour pre-order bonuses out there!

I hope you all enjoy 🙂

Looks like Gameplanet isn’t the only Mexican game retailer offering in-game weapons now! Gamers.vg, who was already offering a snazzy Downpour mug for pre-orders back in August, has now added two new in-game weapon codes to their bonus for a golf club and what looks to be a rifle or a shotgun…I can’t tell which as the picture is too small.

No word on how they will stack up to the 45 pistol, baseball bat, nail gun or double axe offered by other retailers.

Adding salt to my wound of disappointment over the lack of decent bonuses here in the States it looks like fans in Mexico can now add in-game weapons to their pre-order bonuses. Gameplanet is now offering the bat and pistol 45 Amazon is offering with their pre-order in addition to the Downpour flashlight and Korn Opening song Documentary on a USB stick.

Wow American fans really got the short of the stick this time around! Hehe Anyone in Mexico willing to make a pre-order for me? 🙂
