GameStop has relisted all versions of the game from its November 3 release to a December 8 outing. Gamefly, on the other hand, has the Wii version set for November 26, with the PSP and PS2 versions getting December 31 dates. Here's hoping those don't eventually turn into 2010 releases.

“From the very beginning, we planned to re-invent the horror-genre, getting deeper into the player’s minds and taking a new approach for videogames,”
“We know there is a large contingent of hardcore and lapsed gamers on Wii who are clamoring for ‘real’ titles. Silent Hill is real in every sense of the word. This is not a gameplay spinoff, it is a real Silent Hill title. These are real gameplay advances, not cheap control gimmicks. It’s not a port. The rating is still pending, but rest assured it will be scary. At no point did we come to a crossroads and decide ‘well let’s just do it this way because it’s on Wii.’ It will twist your mind and creep you out just like any other good Silent Hill game would, and all the choices we made were to serve good gameplay or a compelling story – never a misguided notion of ‘Wii is for young’ns.’
“The development team took a long time studying all kinds of psychological elements, and created a unique system to monitor all player actions – even small things like how long an object is looked at. The result is a diverse experience, which adjusts itself all the way through the game and creates a story-driven experience like never before in any video game.”
