Box set repackaging previously released soundtracks, though some previously unavailable in Japan (Homecoming, Shattered Memories), only available as preorder bonuses in the United States. Also includes a bonus disc of previously unreleased material from the first four games and Silent Hill: The Arcade, as well as a DVD featuring trailers for Silent Hill Zero (Origins), Homecoming, and Shattered Memories.
Despite some reports, the music is not remastered, although there has been speculation that the US promotional soundtrack release for Homecoming was taken from a lossy source. The Homecoming CD included here is different, with a different track order, slightly different mixes, better sound quality (likely sourced from original masters), and a Machine Head remix of the song Alex Theme replacing the original. (Machine Head is a moniker Akira Yamaoka adopted for his contributions to the No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle soundtrack and is not to be confused with the heavy metal band of the same name.)
Exclusive tracks from CDs Silent Hill 3 Special Mini Sound Track, Silent Hill 4: The Room Limited Edition Soundtrack (US preorder bonus), Silent Hill 4: The Room Sound Narrative: Inescapable Rainy Yoshiwara (second disc of Silent Hill 4: The Room Original Soundtracks), and Silent Hill 4: The Room Robbie Tracks not present on this set.
