Apparently the store stocked the shelves with their early shipment of PS3's and began displaying them for purchase on October 30th, 3 days before the official release date.

Not one person seemed interested in the 40GB version after I said it had no BC.  I still think it was a bad move to lose BC and keep WiFi.

I think they could have at least made two 40GBs, one with BC and one with WiFi, and let the consumer choose.
