I'm sure a couple of you have this:

I don't mind shelling out bucks for these type of books ($90 for the MEGA CD Lunar artbook :P), but basically is this awesome enough to warrant a $70 purchase for a non-JP reader? I have complete Saturn ver w/ its extras already.

I'd go through the stuff on policenauts.net but the merchandise is down now, haha (don't get me wrong -- GREAT job w/ the new site!!! I can't wait!)

Thanks for the heads up.

Not really. http://policenauts.net/oldsite.html and http://policenauts.net/visualbookimages.html.

Seems for most part to be a collage of the cheap CGI used in the console versions. Not worth $70 imo unless you're building a collection or something.

I have it, and it's a very nice book indeed. The images alone are worth the price, especially when you see the unadulterated high-res cels they used to make the game. The differences between the location design sheets and the ones in the actual game are also interesting.

Haha. I got all of those things for like $10 when I lived in Japan. Sometimes the seller would even send the item before I'd paid.

Oh I see, some bargains to be had in Japan eh?

Well yeah, I have on occasions had the seller send me the item before I even paid for the item as well on eBay a few times.

Ah, looked for an old site link on the main page and didn't see one.

Thanks for the info, might pick this up next payday then. Glad it has a LITTLE Snatcher stuff too.
