Im not talking about the 1-5% of people "In the know", im talking about the 60% of people who didn't even know the PS3 could play Blu Ray! The percentage of people who know to get a memory card adapter is insignificant compared to the number who don't.

 

That is where your logic fails.

60Gb buyers were early adopters which tend to be a lot less casual and know a lot more about the specs of the hardware they are purchasing...

BC was nice gift for early adopters, that's all it was...

Not really, hardcore user != technical user. There were a lot of people in the early days who bought a PS3 because of the word "Playstation" and the general rule that people are technically incompetent still applies.

 

 

 So what perk exactly did early 360 or Wii adopters get ?

Xbox 360: RROD?

Wii: Stigma?
