I've read on a few sites about 'giving'. Seems a bit misleading. If you've paid money for something, and are merely trading in something that's broken, what, exactly, have they given you? You've bought it.
Awesome!
That sounds as appealing as all the hoops you need to jump through for rebates.... and probably just as speedy.
Dem hoopz yo! Dem hoopz!

Considering the fact that the PS3 patch doesn't even entirely fix the game, I'd almost say it's better to own the 360 version. Still, this kindness on Konami's part still doesn't change the fact that the game shouldn't be broken in the first place.
Could this possibly get any worse? So they go from fucking everyone, to fucking 360 users against the headboard despite protest to be more gentle, to fucking PS3 users while telling them "its ok baby, I'm wearing a condom", while still fucking 360 users who dont have the right fucking license.
Good god are they getting that corporate customer service dick wet.

Any word on what game you will actualy get for it?
Probably that... Blades of time? Whatever they got no way of ever selling i imagine.

I'm doing it! Gonna call first, see if I can get any more info. Might as well, I sure as fuck ain't playing this broken garbage. Will update if I find out anything.
"Now ... how many folks kept their receipts this long?"
For everybody who bought it online, you can get electronic copies of your proof of purchase from most online stores.

I hope you folks who did keep your receipt at least get a free copy of Downpour (which doesn't suck) out of it.
It's funny, but I have been keeping track of my gaming receipts this year, for a change. Thankfully, I waited for your review before deciding to buy this game, and steered well clear of this steaming pile of shit.
I looked at the list that Stevil provided
One of the games you can get is NeverDead.
What a kick in the balls that would be

Oh hey! I contributed to those late night callings to Konami customer "service"!
Neat.
But despite this, it's all still incredibly lazy on Konami's part. As Jim already said, uninformed can still buy the never ever to be fixed 360 version and since after October they can't even get a trade for something else... opps!
On top of that, I can never forgive the ignorance of Konami's handling of Silent Hill in general recently. For the most part, they just don't seem to care at all.

funny you mention that, every time i buy i game i fold up the receipt and put it in the middle of the instruction booklet of the game i bought. i still have ps2 and i think a few ps1 games i still have receipts for.

wait are those ps2/ games the old physical copies or are those on PSN or XBL? that seems weird. same goes for the xbox games.
Who the fuck has held on that receipt for several months...Konami totally thought of the best way to try and look customer oriented that would could them the least amount of $$$
AND have they said what game yet? Its probably going to be their port of Castlevania to Commodore 64..."Lets see we have all these 5 1/4 Floppies just lying around our Warehouse"
" i fold up the receipt and put it in the middle of the instruction booklet of the game"
I would never do that. The receipt contains bacteria now inhabiting your booklets.

Silent hill hd = the Ford Pinto of the current generation. At least the game doesn't randomly blow up your Xbox and start you and your loved ones ablaze... Yet.

This is WAY more then I expected of them. This is just going above and beyond. I really hope we see this as a trend for real and true fuck ups in this industry because Konami just bought quite a bit of good will from me today.
Wait I just remembered that they probably have loads of copys of Blades of Time sitting around..... I may have to retract that statement.
@ AriesWarlock actually the ink in the receipt usually fades away eventually, but the booklets are all unharmed.
@Stevil
I like how they give you the option to get the HD Collection on PS3. Who would be stupid enough to do that?

For all big companies complains about Gamestop and the like, this is a situation where your best choice is trading it in (if they accept it).
Maybe this is a bit off subject, but it shows exactly how companies are behaving about games they sell you: if the game has issues that's YOUR game (and problem), but if you get a buck trading it in THEY WANT IT.

I'm so conflicted on this. Part of me wants Microsoft to completely drop the punitive side of their patch certification charges so developers will be able to fix games if need be. Then I turn around and look at Konami (and Polytron for example) and blame them for making shitty broken games, KNOWING what the costs were to patch it when they signed the damn contract to be on XBLA in the first place.
I don't want consoles to turn into Windows computers. I hate this day one patch nonsense. I hate that every time I boot up the certain new games there's a new patch. I hate that Bethesda thinks it's acceptable to ship effectively broken games EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know how you address this issue. Maybe punitive charges for excessive patching isn't the way to go about it, but Microsoft and Sony need to figure something out. I like having a platform *that actually fucking works when it's supposed to*.
PC fanboys can hate all they want, but Wintel x64 is not that platform.

I usually just stash my game receipts in their box, next to the manual. So if I had made the mistake of buying this, I'd be in luck. Thankfully I didn't.
oh my god they still have
Yu Gi Oh! Duelists of the Roses, Suikoden III, original Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance.
these are rare titles O_______O
though good thing i bought them new back then and still work to this day :)
still sucks that the offer is only for US, i might get the PS2 Greatest Hits version of Silent Hill 2(includes the restless dreams from the xbox version)
it's the only SH game i haven't got in New condition.
i have LE Silent Hill 3 case that comes with the OST, and Silent Hill 4. all bought in sealed quality and been taking care of right now.
coincidentally it's the only SH game i haven't played.
oh well Konami, you really screwed the franchise to the ground.
such a shame that Kojima Productions get to have all the resource they can get(which is good) but please try to spread that too other than them.
Suikoden, Silent Hill, heck you even have freaking Bloody Roar franchise...
so where's all of that?!?!?!

I got too grossed out by your disgusting analogies that I lost the point of your post, and I'm not about to bother rereading it again.

This is BS. They ought to fix the 360 version or pull it from retail.
This is one of those times when a class action lawsuit would be in order - if applicable - just to teach them that "NO! Just NO!".

I've actually kept every receipt for every game I've ever purchased. I even keep the pre order slips. I'm a little compulsive...
I usually put my receipts in the case, behind the instruction booklet.
I wonder when Polytron will let me exchange their broken game that they refuse to fix...

I never got around to playing sh2 and 3 until the hd collection, but I must be one of the few who wasnt disappointed in it. Sure, the fog and water in sh 2 looked janky at times, but it's over a decade old. I actually preferred the new voices to the old, too. I didnt experience many technical problems or glitches, especially in sh 3, which looks absolutely amazing for a ps2 game. I had a lot of fun with the games, I guess I dont really understand what all the problems with the game are.
