The Silent Hill experience may be coming to the PSP, but not in videogame form. Designed as a guide to all things Silent Hill, The Silent Hill experience combines several media formats to give the user a "compelling overview of the horror series." In what sounds like a virtual museum, you use a 3D interface to view interactive Silent Hill comics, listen to music from the games and watch exclusive content. An interview with Christophe Gans, the director of the Silent Hill movie is also available to watch.

The interactive comic book section will contain a story from long-time Silent Hill author, Scott Ciencin. The new comic uses elements from the new movie and delves into the origins of Silent Hill. Specifically designed for the PSP, the comic will feature animated panels and interactive transitions. Also included will be the acclaimed Dying Inside comic book series adapted for the PSP format.

Twenty songs form the four Silent Hill games have been selected to be included in the Silent Hill Experience by Music Director and Composer, Akira Yamaoka. An interview with Yamaoka, also on the UMD, explains his choice of tracks for the package. The Silent Hill experience is rounded off with behind-the-scenes info of the Silent Hill movie and the intro movies for all four games.

"Konami has created an entirely new genre for the PSP system, combining a variety of media onto one package and showcasing the renowned Silent Hill franchise in a way that has never been done before," offered Hans-Joachim Amann, Head of European Product Management of Konami of Europe. "Fans of the Silent Hill series and horror fans alike will appreciate all the exclusive content as well as get a unique behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Silent Hill movie."

At this time no release date has been announced.
