Silent Hill was released for the PlayStation in 1999, from February to July in North America,[45][46] Japan,[47] and Europe.[48][49] It was included in the Japanese Silent Hill Complete Set in 2006.[50] Silent Hill became available for download from the European PlayStation Network store of the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Portable on March 19, 2009.[51] Two days later, the game was removed due to "unforeseen circumstances".[52] On September 10, Silent Hill was released on the North American PlayStation Network.[53] It was re-released on the European PlayStation Network on October 26, 2011.[54]
A radically altered version of Silent Hill was released for the Game Boy Advance. Titled Play Novel: Silent Hill and released only in Japan in 2001, it is a gamebook-style visual novel. It contains a retelling of Silent Hill's story through text-based gameplay, with the player occasionally confronted with questions concerning what direction to take the character, as well as the puzzles, which are a major part of Silent Hill's gameplay. After completing the game once, the player has the option of playing as Cybil in a second scenario, with a third made available for download as a paid-DLC on the Mobile Adapter GB[b] device, once the second scenario has been completed.[55] When the game was exhibited, Western critics were unimpressed, and criticized the lack of any soundtrack as severely detracting from the "horror" factor of the game.[55][56]

Edge selected it as runner-up for the Gameplay Innovation award. They stated that, whereas other games attempted to hide the PlayStation's visual inadequecies, Konami used its draw-distance deficiency to chilling effect by draping atmospheric fog about the place.[74]

So, I'd like to get into running this, and it seems like PC is the only really viable option. I'm looking around and it seems like the only way to get the PC version is buying the physical CD of it. Am I just not looking in the right place, or is there no digital download of the game at all? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
If you're patient, you can sometimes find it on the Goodwill auction site. I actually own 2 boxed versions of Silent hill 2 for PC (the big box, and the slightly smaller box). The slightly smaller box I actually just found at the Goodwill auction along with a bunch of other games (31 games total) and I ended up paying $67. Of course with shipping it was more like $97 but that's still only $3 per game and Silent Hill 2 was included and it's worth more than that by itself.
An online update Via Reloaded II will be pushed tonight for the audio enhancement back bringing it up to version 2.0.9 If you haven't downloaded 2.0.8 at least do NOT download this update get 2.0.8 here first.
There is one type of site that manages to avoid most scorn. Abandonware sites, like Abandonia, offer all manner of games, free to download. Many of these sites have been up and running for years, which begs the question: is abandonware legal?
To answer that specific question, no, it is not legal to download abandonware. But are you likely to find the authorities knocking at your door? Or, end up in front of a judge for breaking copyright? That's highly unlikely.
Despite the illegality of abandonware, there are no court cases relating to it. At least, none that I could find prosecuting someone for downloading and playing an abandonware title. Companies enforcing existing copyright tend to send a cease-and-desist letter before filing a lawsuit.
The answer lies with the site you are downloading from. Major abandonware sites like MyAbandonware and Abandonia are safe, serving thousands of users every day. These sites also host almost every abandonware title, so you don't need to head into the unknown depths of the internet looking for a title on a sketchy website.
But you probably won't get into trouble for downloading an old game, firing it up in an emulator, and playing the heck out of it. If you're unsure about how to do that, here's a quick guide on running old games on Windows 10.

Moreover, with the cost-of-living crisis afflicting much of Europe, the necessity to keep a console on at idle just to download data can become a costly affair. And this doesn't even consider the environmental impact of potentially millions of consoles left on for a download, or the production of millions of discs with no functional use without an internet connection.
The original release of the game included CD-audio music, which is sadly missing from the digital re-release. Instead, MIDI music is used, which to many listeners may sound unappealing. Even though GOG.com provide the CD-audio soundtrack as an optional download, it is not used in the game itself.
The original audio tracks have been converted to MP3s at the highest quality preset (320 kps CBR), using the most recent version of the LAME encoder. The download includes all the necessary files to play them in the game.
