Update: As compensation for the patch that's never coming

Update: Reader Ded Valve has pointed out that your proof of purchase must be dated before July 10, 2012. Important distinction there. Thanks, Ded.

Konami is reportedly offering compensation to Xbox 360 owners who can prove they purchased Silent Hill HD Collection for Microsoft's console.

See, a few days ago, the company released a title update for the bundle on PS3, but stated the patch had been canceled for Xbox 360 for undisclosed reasons. People were plenty mad about it.

Well, not everyone was going to take this sitting down, and one consumer actually contacted Konami customer service over the issue. Turns out, raising enough of a stink will get you compensation in the form of a free game, provided you can prove you own it. You'll have to pick from a list of games they provide, and while the roster isn't all that impressive, you're not limited to an Xbox title.

Interestingly, Konami hasn't made any official announcements regarding this, so anyone looking for compensation will need to take the initiative. Here's a recount of Punisher138's customer service experience, plus a full list of games you can choose from:
