You can set the japanese SH4 to english language.

Then what will be the difference between it and English vers? But I may get it if it is true. I can't wait.

Hi,

I can confirm the following about the PAL release of Silent Hill 4:

1. English, German (Deutsch), French (Francais), Italian (Italiano) and Spanish (Espanol) subtitles.

2. No 60 Hz mode. Small black borders, I did not notice any difference in 'speed'.

That's it

Yeah I can see where you come from on display thing. Anyway after seeing PC version near perfect look on TV, I was pretty much won over too, so I may as well hold off on PS2 SH4.

And SH is a slow game which i don't think will suffer too much from the lack of a controller. I'll still miss it though...

Although speaking of this, why not get one of these?

Playing SilentHill game with mouse and KB feels like you're violating the game in a way

Or you could always go for one of those DS clones for PC. I dunno if they're any good though, I never actually tried using one.

I use ELECOM's (Japanese) USB PS2 gamepad adaptor for PC, the key map is simply perfect for SH3 (exactly the same as PS2 SH3).

Publisher don't pay royalties on PC. A contrario, on console the publisher can't get away without giving ~15% of the price as a license fee.

Many GameCube games sell almost as cheap as PC games nowadays. Bless Nintendo. ^^

So did dreamcast games....not sure if it was just towards the end of their life or throughout the entire thing though.(I think only the less hyped gamecube games are $40, a new zelda would be $50)

BTW, is deus ex 2 still $50 on pc? I avoided buying that since it was more than the $40 I was used to paying for a pc game.

$50?

Here it would be something like 60 euro's.
