If you’re a Silent Hill fan, you’ve no doubt encountered the plethora of problems with the recent HD collection. Konami promised to release a patch to fix both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions and that patch was finally released—for PS3 users at least. Xbox 360 users, on the other hand, got the shaft as Konami has cancelled the patch due to “technical issues and resources” and has no plans to do any further work on it. According to Joystiq, Konami has no plans to offer refunds for consumers who purchased the collection on the 360 nor do they have any plans to pull the game from shelves.
I can understand delaying a patch because of technical issues, but to outright cancel it, refuse refunds and not pull product from shelves? That’s just wrong…
