Not a few gamers have learned to love the videogame Silent Hill. Not surprisingly, Hollywood tried to grab a bit of the spotlight by making a movie based from it. Well, we loved it as well... loved to forget we ever watched it (and wasted good money on it), that is. If you're one of the rare ones who find this flick worthy enough of having UMD, DVD and Blu-ray copies of it, you're in luck (or are you?). That's because come August 22, Silent Hill will be hitting stores in UMD, DVD and Blu-ray formats.

Silent Hill, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (that explains why it made it to Blu-ray and UMD), follows the story of a mother (Radha Mitchell; perhaps the only good thing that happened to that movie) who lost her daughter in a mystery-riddled town. In her mission to find her child, she encounters hell and all the creatures that goes with that dreadful place. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track.

If you're the masochistic type, prepare to shell out $28.95 and $38.95 for DVD and Blu-ray copies respectively. Of course, the Blu-ray copy costs higher - there's a price to pay for higher features you know (same reason why PS3 is priced that much). No word regarding the price for UMD formats were mentioned, but in cases like this, would it have bothered you if there is?

Distrex has been tinkering with the C program to bring us his very own application. Although he dubs his application as "just a simple MP3 player with a fairly simple GUI", we know that every bit of homebrew counts. So let's now put the spotlight on distrex's MP3 Player.

I guess the name's pretty self-explanatory - it turns your PSP into a music player. With this application, just put your .mp3 files in PSP/GAME/MP3/MUSIC then load up the app to enjoy your Sony's handheld gaming device a la-[fill in your MP3 player of choice].

Since this is distex's first real C program, he would love to hear any critiques and comments you have about this app - so feel free leave your impressions on the app in the comments section.
