Did I make a fatal mistake? (Fatal Frame)

Post by Moniker »

Today at a local secondhand store, I came across sealed copies for Fatal Frame 1, 2, & 3 for 35USD a pop. Are these must-buy-buy-them-now-goddammit items? Or will I encounter them again if I pass this up?

FFI-III all got official reprints (financed by GameQuestDirect, like PS2 Rez's) some years ago, so they're not especially difficult to come across new & sealed at the moment. I'd jump on 'em now if I were you though, assuming you're picky about getting them new like I was. I notice all three are finally out of stock at GQD after many years, as well as a few other large online stores.

If you're bothered about getting the original print run VS the reprints, the latter don't have the white barcode+title sticker at the top of the case, like a lot of later PS2 releases - otherwise they're identical to the first run. Unsealed there's no way to tell them apart, as there shouldn't be.

Also, If it helps anyone, Play-Asia currently has FFIV in stock and ready to ship ("Zero: Gesshoku no Kamen"). I mention this because it was OOP there until last week - then as soon as I ordered mine from Yes-Asia, PA had copies ready to go.
