NCSX sells brand new copies of the Books version for $30. I got it on special from them back in September for $25.90.

Edit: Hey, looks like you can still get it for that price! http://www.shopncsx.com/policenautsforplaystation1.aspx

Anything specifically you are wondering about?
Anything you'd like. Any tricks Konami did with Policenauts, etc.

Anything interesting!

It's a shirt design from threadless or one of those popular shirt printers. The title is "Communist Party" if I recall.

Buddy of mine has one, and it sold out wicked fast.

3DO is of no use to this project. but I am glad too have actually supported a topic then skewed it! I think I will do this more often.

Good job junker team! and Kojima_Devotee, I love your sense of humor! You understand me!
If I hadn't chose akor for my 2nd or 5th name (I don't remember) it should have been Kojima_Obsessed!

Why would the text on the back of the boxes be in English?

Because the big secret is that Policenauts always was in English and by "translation" Marc meant that he's been translating it into Japanese to make it easier for the Japanese to understand.

Don't listen to Marc or Slowbeef, listen to me. If you find a copy of Policenauts with english on the back, no matter what price it is, buy it. That means that it's a prototype that was showcased at E3 in 1996.

Shidoni is a pretty cool guy. Eh has witty sigs and doesn't afraid of anything.

Also, Copies of policenauts can be found pretty cheap on Yahoo Auctions Japan, especially with the Japanese economy not doing so hot, many of the Japanese are putting their wares up cheap.

I guess I need to buy God Hand.

And Viewtiful Joe(s).

And Okami.

And Madworld.

Not Bayonetta, though. I don't have any HD consoles :(. Maybe I'll buy it anyway.

I REALLY liked the first Devil May Cry. Best action game ever.

You can't just do that. You also have to tell people about the royal asskickings they're going to receive while playing the game.

I barely beat level 1, gambled all my winnings, and either quit or never could pass level 1 again. Fun as hell, but tough as nails made of whittled down larger and more powerful nails.
