I really want it, but I'm Region 2 UMD Video pwned. This coming to Japan?

I walked into an EB right in the heart of downtown Toronto and they had three sitting out in the PSP section, go figure. Their website was advertising it fairly prominently a couple of days ago, so maybe they got more in.

No idea. It was released to coincide with the movie, is that out in Japan yet?

They use Yamaoka's Silent Hill music as the background, with various atmospheric effects and animations enhancing the images. It's really well written, pulls even less punches than the games, and ends up being genuinely kinda scary. Best use of the UMD format outside games so far - this sold me on the upcoming Metal Gear digital graphic novel, just because I want to support the approach. In a way, I kind of enjoyed it more than the SH games, because the plot and the atmosphere are the real draws of SH, and it was nice to get it with no filler.

The soundtrack is also incredible, with vocal versions of several of the SH themes (is that Nick Cave I hear?). I listen to this, and I'm like okay, Yamaoka is way too talented to be working in videogames, where 80% of his audience is skipping over his music to get to the shooty parts. I hope whatever he does with the rest of his time results in him being fellated by bikini idols and ridiculously overcompensated. This is just about the best music in gaming.

Basically, if you're a Silent Hill fan, you want this.

You have the same thoughts as me, this is such a good idea for comics. I really enjoyed the Hunger comic and the music enhances it so much. I have high hopes for the Metal Gear Experience.

I saw this at another EB today, so I'm thinking it must be widely available now.
