Silent Hill HD patch cancelled for Xbox 360
Konami will not be fixing the buggy 360 HD collection
Konami Digital Entertainment has announced that while it will be updating the bug-ridden release of Silent Hill HD Collection on PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 has been cancelled. The Xbox 360 patch was dropped due to "technical issues and resources".
"Understanding the issues some users are experiencing, KONAMI issued a title update for Silent Hill HD Collection (PS3), which fixed frame rate issues as well as audio-synching and other reported issues. Konami apologizes to any players who are continuing to experience these issues on the XBOX 360 sku.," said the company in a statement.
Konami Digital Entertainment will continue to sell the buggy 360 version of Silent Hill HD Collection.
Thank you Konami for the time and effort you spent to destroy one of your best franchises.
I hate to sound cruel, but this happens All. The. Time. On PC. Complaining doesn't do PC gamers any good.

But PC games can and do get patched all the time for free, or at the very least the mod community usually sorts out major flaws. This is it for SHC on Xbox 360; the publisher has delivered a sub-par port and now they have the money of probably hundreds of thousands of consumers, have basically said they don't give a shit about fixing it. It's just about the worst customer service a publisher can do to the gaming community.
I can understand a coding bug like that in the case of Fez perhaps being a random encounter for users but surely the graphics system or video codec in the specific game engine is consistent for all users? If not, could you reload that specific instance of poor quality again and again until you got the good or bad performance?

I was debating picking this up, as I never played them originally, but I think I may skip them.
