As the PlayStation 2 days is nearing its end, blockbuster PS2 games are hard to come by and their rarity has a high price tag along with it. One of the "rare" games that are hard to find on the PS2 are the Fatal Frame series.

Highly doubt its a reprint, and honestly, Store managers don't know if a game is a reprint or what it is. If it says "Pre-owned" and it looks new.. it was a game that was converted new to used and was in warehouse. GameStop is attempting to clear out old PS2 inventory by shipping the games to stores where ps2 games sell more. Which is why, you'll notice if your local gamestop doesn't sell a lot of ps2 games.. their ps2 bins are going to be shrinking. And yeah, I heard this from a friend of a friend who knows a guy who's related to the CEO's assistant(in actually, I heard this straight from Mike Dzura).

I would recommend playing them in order, otherwise you'll miss on the backstory. It's still pretty easy to understand what is going on, and only the first and the third share protagonists.
If for some reason you only want to buy one of the games, pick the second one (crimson butterfly). It is usually regarded as the best in the series.

Fatal Frame actually got a reprint (the entire series) a year or so ago for GameQuestDirect.Com for the PS2. Atlus also did a "stealth" reprint for Digital Devil Saga 1 a few years back. They mentioned nothing about it until fans started seeing people ordering from Gamestop.com getting new copies and then they confirmed it was a reprint. So this being a reprint for Fatal Frame isn't out of the question since it was reprinted not too long along for another store.

They do follow each other but aren't really stong enough to hurt the future games. If you pick up 2 or 3 it won't matter that much.

It's not Metal Gear.

So, just buy it from gamequestdirect.com. I already left a link. Can only buy the first Fatal Frame if you buy the pack, though... For some reason they don't sell the first game separately. As for the OP, he was just quoting that link he left.... If anyone was lying it was the guy you wrote the blog he linked to....

GameQuestDirect has been doing reprints for "rare" games for years.

GameStop just gets the leftovers from the reprints that GQD handles.

Sometimes reprints result in NON-shrinkwrapped games.

They actually patched mask of the lunar eclipse with a fan translation. You do need some homebrew to run it though .
