Policenauts on Playstation
Policenauts on Playstation
I know this question has probably been asked numerous times, but even after reading most of the posts on this forum I'm still a little confused.
There's four versions of Policenauts on the Playstation, correct?
Policenauts
Policenauts (The Best)
Policenauts (Private Collection)
Policenauts (PSOne Books)
I have an opportunity to buy Policenauts (The Best) for around $22. Should I wait for another version to come around or grab this one? Will I miss anything significant if I get (The Best) instead of waiting?
Sorry to ask such an overasked question, but I couldn't seem to figure out what is what. Thanks.

It is a bit confusing, but, yeah, Private Collection is the one that isn't the actual game. Only the other three are Policenauts, and indeed, all three will be compatible with the patch.
Plus, as everyone else has stated, $22 is an amazing deal! Policenauts' value is rising because less copies are finding their way to eBay. So go for it! You won't regret it, especially once the patch is out!

Sure, mainstream games are fun, but you haven't tried Snatcher yet.

Weh, your book's in better condition than mine.
Speaking English is pretty... I guess, "cool" in Japan? Well, since the 80's (or rather, since the end of WWII) America has had a massive effect on the pop-culture of Japan (or alot of places, really). I'm going to guess that the english on the back (which is surprisingly well written...) is just to add to the "authenticity" of this very american story...

$22 is a steal for Policenauts now?
I remember I got my original edition off ebay back in '04 and it cost a grand total of $13 shipped. I thought then that was an 'ok' deal. Haha.
As far as scarcity goes, there doesn't seem to be much in change in terms volume availible online to people outside Japan. For PlayStation anyway, although the Saturn 3-disc version seems to have become increasingly harder to find and slightly higher on average prices.
Recently I've been looking into getting a cheap Saturn copy since I came into possession of the Stunner light gun within the last year.
