This news comes from the latest email from Data Discs, a label best known for their pressings of SEGA soundtracks on vinyl:
We can also confirm today that, in partnership with KONAMI, we will be releasing the first ever vinyl edition of POLICENAUTS. We are looking forward to revealing the full details of this project soon.
Get hyped, friends. :mrgreen:

It would be an absolute shame if it isn't.

Unpopular opinion: I prefer Old L.A. 2040 over End of the Dark as the opening theme. A good chunk of cues you hear in the game use that distinct 11-note riff.

The only thing I have against it is that because it's so long, it can feel like the intro is dragging on. That's likely why they switched it out with End of the Dark.

Awesome! :D
Has Data Discs brought up a release/pre-order date yet?

I hope I can score a job and a paycheck before then...

All they've said is later this year. For price, usually for me single LPs come out to about $50 shipped - that's from the UK to California.

Ah! So Data Discs is UK based!
Hopefully that means it'll ship quicker than a Japanese package for me lol (i live on the east coast)

$50 is a reasonable price! I wonder if they're gonna have different art variations like the Snatcher vinyl...
Hope I score some disposable income in time :P

Going off past DD releases, there most likely will be three versions - black vinyl, solid color vinyl, and a limited edition multicolored vinyl. They also had lenticular artwork for one of their recent limited editions, so it'd be sweet if they had that here.

Oh! One thing I forgot to mention - a lot of DD releases are also available in the US at mondotees.com. The only thing is that they don't carry the limited editions, but you save a ton on shipping for regular editions.

Cool!
Can you still order the special editions through the DD site with something like PayPal I assume?

Sorry if I repeated myself-- I forget if I asked that already.

They only do card right now, unfortunately.

Was everyone able to get a copy? I put in an order for the limited edition, so excited! Both that and the white version are sold out, but the black version is still available as of this post.

I managed to snag one of the limited edition copies during the last set they sold. I had no idea they were going to open for orders early until I woke up and saw that I had been emailed a password an hour prior. I'll probably be listening to this set far more often than the Snatcher one released by Ship to Shore.

MOTHERF*(^@ER!
Wasn't able to get any of the special editions... :cry:

My dad says he might look into getting me the LP for my birthday in November with the Snatcher one if he can...
Is the special edition just the fancy vinyl design itself? Still pretty cool nonetheless.

When I saw the Tweet from DataDiscs I was ecstatic and heartbroken at the same time...
If only it could have released a little later...! Sigh...

The only limited edition Kojima thing I own is the LE HD Collection with the artbook.
I can't wait til I get my hands on my first piece of Policenauts merch... I'm gonna be jumping around like crazy!

I missed it!

I'll have to pick one up on the aftermarket I suppose.

Don't you guys worry - you can still get a copy from Mondo Tees. They don't have the limited edition, but they have the other two. And to answer your question, powderehss, yes the color of the records are the only difference! (Kinda considering double dipping for a copy of the white ones...)

Here you go! https://mondotees.com/products/policena ... 7775653981
