Just saw that psx and the sega saturn version of policenauts are being sold for over a 100$ and my question is why since there is a bunch of Japanese ebayers out there who sell the game for 20$, not mention that getting policenauts from a japanese site is not a problem since the game was rereleased.
So I don't quite get why ebayers mainly us and european ebayers think they can get over a 100$ for it I mean its a kick ass game and all but still its not likes its rare.

The only one that is around that price is sealed. My opinion is that the general public shouldn't overpay for them, since there are plenty and several ways of acquiring them.
I don't believe 100 for a sealed copy of the first edition is outrageous, but used copies should always be at around this price.

Used, complete with spine cards, manuals and that weird CD bookmark.
But I have the theory that once the translation project is complete ,prices will go up for the PS1 version. So if you want it cheap now, I suggest buy now.
cd book mark?

No, it's not an actual CD. It's a paper advertisement in the shape of a CD. It comes with the regular game, not Private Collection.

Interviews, goes through the various stages of the game's development, has a gun shootout trainer (like in the main game), artwork gallery (which is freaking brilliant), has various music tracks for listening, has a database, plus more stuff. It is basically what Marc says, for fans of the game, which is intended as a sort of promotion for the game too. Snatcher Pilot Disc was like that too.
