KONAMI SHIPS SILENT HILL ORIGINS
FOR PS2 SYSTEM TO RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE

Hit Survival Horror Video Game
Makes Much Anticipated Evolution from Handheld to Console With Enhanced Graphics

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
today announced Silent Hill Origins has shipped to retail stores in North
America for the PlayStation®2 Computer Entertainment System. Now, console gamers
can now enjoy the terror and fear-inducing chills of the PSP®
(PlayStation®Portable) System game as well.

"Silent Hill Origins for the
PlayStation®2 system gives console game lovers the same chilling, suspenseful
and fear-filled experience that handheld gamers encountered with the release of
Silent Hill Origins on the PSP system," said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of
Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "PlayStation®2 system gamers
will get the chance to learn more about the mystery and mythos hinted at in
earlier Silent Hill games."

Featuring enhanced visuals for the
PlayStation 2 system, Silent Hill Origins tells the tale of Travis Grady, a lone
truck driver making a routine delivery when he makes an unfortunate detour to
the mysterious town of Silent Hill. Players must help Travis escape the city’s
horrific inhabitants and unravel the mystery of the strange hallucinations from
Travis’ past, visions that have plagued him since childhood.

Throughout the game, Travis can use
his fists, his wits and an array of weapons including a meat cleaver, pool cue
and sledgehammer to fight his way through the nightmarish world of Silent Hill
and face more than one possible ending.

The PSP System game was one of the
highest reviewed titles for the platform, receiving high praise from media
outlets such as GamePro,

GameZone.com,
Hardcore Gamer Magazine and PLAY Magazine.

Silent Hill Origins is rated "M" for
Mature by the ESRB and available for an SRP of $29.99.
