It says right below the cover shot that its content is exactly same as the one released on June 17, 2004.

I hope it has some sort of extras like the greatest hits version of SH2.

You should read Burning Man's post, I think.

So? Nothing new? This sucks. . . Wonder why they're releasing that with no new content. . . ?

They've re-released 1-3 in Japan as budget titles (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-43-77-l-49-en-15-silent+hill-70-lm7.html) I know SH1 has had like at least 2 different re-releases so I assume they just wanted to continue the tradition with the newer games?

Most people say Henry's a pervert because of looking through the peephole to Eileen's room, but here's the thing: Your not required to do that, it's the players choice.
So whose the pervert now :P?

Perhaps the re-release is just promotional?
They have done the same with silent hill 2 and 3. It is the Japanese equivalent of "Platinum". Nothing will be new or changed. Its mental how people still buy ps2 games here, its pretty cool that videogame stores still deal in nes/snes games. Japan is pretty awesome.

I agree, it makes little sense. It looks like they found some old games in a warehouse, and they just repackaged it and rereleased it. Kinda late in my opinion.

Think of Italy — which reminds me of California in so many ways — and its chronic inability to form a government. That’s California, with even better food and no parliamentary system.

I can't believe people expect them to re-release a game from 2004 - that is, before we even had DLC for consoles - with extra content.

Also, Japan's been doing this for YEARS.

One thing confusing me is SH4 is the most complained about game in the series. Supposedly game creators go on forums like these to find out the mistakes made for later release, than again Team Silent is over so there really is little chance of that unless another Team gets a hold of it like SH1. But if anyone else is like me and completely not looking forward to Shattered Memories then who knows what another Team would do with it...

You're not the only person *not* looking forward to shattered memories. May we both dodge rotten tomatoes, torches, and pitchforks together!

Though to be honest, SH4 grew on me. It's not perfect, but overall I like it. [I still think a lot of beef I had was because my game is CURSED. I get VERY bad glitches that made the game 8 bajillion times harder than it ever needed to be. I swear D: ] As to why it's re-released in Japan? I dunno... anniversary maybe? Konami simply wanting to make more money? Maybe this version fixed up some glitches so it runs a bit smoother? Who knows, though I think someone else mentioned this is similar to "greatest Hits" or "platinum Hits" we folks do in the west... so yeah D:
