Konami offering exchange program for Silent Hill HD Collection (Xbox 360)

Contrary to reports from Examiner, Konami is not giving away free games to owners of the Xbox 360 version of the Silent Hill HD Collection. What Konami is actually doing is an exchange program for those who can’t stand to look at their copies due to its faults.

The exchange program gives North and South American customers who have purchased the game before August 8th a chance to trade their HD Collection for a different Konami title (list below). Requests for an exchange must be done via an email to Konami Customer Service along with a proof of purchase receipt from a recognized retailer. Those who qualify will be sent a shipping label for their copy of the HD Collection. If you feel so inclined to exchange your copy of the game with one of Konami’s other titles, you have until October 7th to do so.

All of this is one big mess for Konami. I just don’t know what’s going on over there. Time and time again their negligent actions have caused their fans to lose faith in them and the Silent Hill series. A late patch is troubling and doesn’t look good but cancelling a patch altogether after explicitly announcing it? Ouch. Konami is actively killing its own reputation with how it handles its business. It’s not good for us or them. I just don’t get it.

Well, at least we have another confirmation that the Silent Hill: Downpour patches are still coming; forgive me for not being too expectant.
