One thing that I'm wondering about with this game has to do with the price. I was looking at it online, and it is less than $70. Does that mean it's going to be shorter? Or is that because this is something different enough for Silent Hill that Konami is giving a bit of a "discount" for taking a chance on it?

I'm a Brit. Electricity cards were/are a British thing, not just Scottish. I'm a little surprised to see them cropping up in a game with a mid-90s setting, as they were quite rare at the time. In earlier decades, they'd been very common - most homes had pre-pay electricity meters (and if you ran out of payment, the power went off). Those mostly disappeared during the 1980s and would have been rare in the 1990s, though perhaps less so in more remote areas.
A different version of them has made a resurgence over the last decade or so, with smartcard versions being fitted in homes whose occupants have previously defaulted on utility bills. They're politically controversial.[/quote]
