I actually helped a woman buy a PS3 today at my local Gamestop. I pissed the sales clerk off bad. He was trying to sell her a used 60GB PS3 for like 350 bucks. She wanted backwards compatability but I talked her into a new PS3 for 299.99. I could never work at Gamestop, that business is horrible.


Really Gamestop is horrible?  I'm a district manager for Gamestop and I can tell you straight up we are far from horrible.

I have just had bad experience with that business for a very long time. Ranging from over pricing used games. Trying to sell used games as new ones. A new sticker with a scratched game IS NOT NEW. How can you sell a USED 60GB PS3 for 300-350 dollars? Hopefully you are an exception.

How?  Because, outside of harddrive size, it is superior to the newer PS3 models that have less features, particularly a lack of backwards compatibility.  Like, how many USB ports does the newer PS3 model have?  My 60GB model has 4.  With that, I can hook up Move, a USB keyboard, and have room for two controllers. 

Anyhow, I would speak about your comments about Gamestop in general.  They are what they are.  They managed to be able to sell videogames and specialize in that area being able to be operated by fanboys the way that McDonalds is able to be operated by teenagers.
