To unlock the IGN.com shirt, complete the game once to unlock the Extra Costumes feature. Input the code "IGN_pickleboy" as a name here, using the typewriter keys. A message will state that the IGN.com shirt has been unlocked. Begin a game, and you should find the shirt in your item inventory. Here are pictures of it (note Pickle Boy on the back):

Press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 on the options menu.

Beat the game then highlight New Game (Extra) and enter the old Konami code (press UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, CIRCLE, X). Select your difficulties and a sound will verify the code. Douglas will be sans pants when you see him through the game.

NOTE: Silent Hill 3 has different costume codes, depending on the region; these codes are for region PAL, which includes the United Kingdom and Europe)

Finish the game to access the secret costume passcode screen. Enter the passcodes to unlock a new costume for Heather.

Using any memory card with a finised/game cleared file from Silent Hill 2 will cause some retroactive interactivity when Heather investigates some areas of the game.

Unlock new weapons by playing through the game and then doing the following to affect your final score:

Flamethrower - Kill more enemies by using ranged weapons than by using melee weapons, or finish the game twice.

Light Saber - Kill more enemies by using melee weapons than by using ranged weapons.

Silver and Gold Pipe - Throw the normal (steel) pipe into the sewer, and then answer the next three questions as, "No", "No", "Yes".

Unlimited Submachinegun - Destroy the last boss in the game with a melee weapon.

Beat the game on Hard Mode to earn Action Level Extreme 1. The options go all the way to Extreme X, or 10. The game becomes insanely difficult as the Extreme levels rise.

Beat the game on Hard Mode. The Life Display appears in the Extra Options. It shows how much health Heather has left before dying, and does it more accurately than the normal display bar.

Defeat more enemies using melee weapons than gun weapons the first time you play. This can be found in the corridor outside where you get the MY BESTSELLERS KEY.

Defeat more enemies by shooting them rather than using melee weapons the first time you play. You can find this in the normal version of HELEN'S BAKERY in the mall, where you get the Tongs.

Defeat the game on Hard Mode. Then this weapon activates once no weapons are equipped.

This is basically the Heather Beam with the Transform costume equipped.

To acquire this ending, you must kill over 100 enemies (displayed on the Results screen). You must also acquire 1000 points of damage, so let every monster in the game hit you once. Forgive the person in the confession box, as well. Since you'll spend much of the game being a vicious killer, the very fitting Possessed Ending ensues after the final battle. This cannot be acquired on the first playthrough, and is best tried at in Normal or Hard Mode, with the Unlimited Submachine Gun.

Acquire the Heather Beam. Then, in a replay game, use it on at least 30 monsters. In Harry's apartment, the ending will occur and the game will end right there.

Dying twice on Normal unlocks Beginner Difficulty which can only be found on the Extra Option menu.

Finish the game to access the secret costume passcode screen. Enter the passcodes to unlock a new costume for Heather.
