Do you even understand why the 20GB is still so much? Because it has BACKWARD compatibility! Does the 40GB have that no, why else is it lower? I bet you're thinking, well you can get the PS2, well for one, you won't pay for two systems plugged, two, it takes up less space and three, it cost less.Originally Posted by ncyphe

Yeah, I realized that after I posted. Sometime I speak before thinking . . . very bad habit.
But still, it seems like everyon thinks GameStop has this special deal going on that no other store is doing. It irks me to think that GameStop has that much influence on people.

Personally I prefer Fry's WAY, WAY,WAY over GameStop, it just that Fry's tries to keep it on current stuff, like after they got rid of the 60GB, like a month later, my brother decides to go to see if the closest Fry's have it, since Gamestop was still selling it for $500+ used, and it didn't. Anyway..I hate GameStop unless I'm going to get a console or console game. I HATE their PC selection. It's like CoD series, WoW, Guild Wars, and a bunch of crappy games. Fry's is like 4 few meters sections for games.

Isn't Frys a grocery market? Because I looked at mines and thats all the have lol.. thats where my dad gets all the fruits n stuff :O! (I live in Arizona)

Fry's both. I believe the grocery store is owned by the dad and the electronic store is started by his sons. I think it's mostly located in California.

Actually, my store is two whole dedicated isles to PCGames, the same size as the PS3 and Xbox360 sections combined. Hell, add in the Wii section, it's larger than your average Gamestop.
Fry's Electronics is a private company owned and operated, to this day, by the Fry's brothers. There are about 40 stores located around the U.S. with an online store, formerly known as Outpost.com.
The state with the largest number of store is California, as that was the state it first started in. You can find them in some of the most technological cities in the U.S., considering our massive supply of transistors, computer parts, home theater installation kit, and not to mention large selection of TVs, movies, games, computer, and what name you. You can walk in here and leave with all the parts you need to build any kind of electrical device.
On a side note, I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but Fry's has an excellent contract with Nintendo and other suppliers. Even though we get our stock late, we usually get the most. While everyone was sold out of Wii Fits last January, we were the only store that had a giant stack that got replace weekly.

So, is it just me or do most people on here care way too much about backwards compatibility? Like I don't think the average gamer cares that much but everyone here seems to make a huge deal out of it.

There always needs to be a reason to complain.

The only ppl reason why ppl complain about that is because a few years from now, they are gonna wanna play the PS2 classics, and rejoice about the great memories they had on the PS2

I'll get it whenever my 360 gets RRoD.
I'm playin' FFX on my PS2, no need for backwards compatibility.

No backwards compatibility means I'm sticking with the PS2. Not to mention there just aren't enough games I'm into on the PS3 right now for me to buy it. I'm just gonna to see what other games come out.
