I walked into Fry's 2 weeks ago and their USB 2.0 selection of external HDs is so much larger than USB 3.0s. Pricewise it's only difference of $10 it seemed like. If 3.0 is better and backward compatible AND at a decently low price, why are people creating USB 2.0 stuff? This way it seems like it will never be adopted.
Giving people choice = low adoption rate = slower price drops. If everyone adopts thunderbolt or USB 3.0, then manufacturers will focus on creating the better product for cheaper.
Yes, I'm a firm believer on giving people as little or no choice at all. People are stupid for the most part

. Not saying you, or anyone on these forums are, but the average person walking into frys, or any other store, is most likely stupid. Us forum users are at least somewhat computer literate.
I prefer thunderbolt to USB 3.0, but Intel is hurting thunderbolt big time. If AMD was behind thunderbolt, we'd actually have some decent thunderbolt accessories.
I don't think anyone is arguing that TB is better than PCIe.... It's a solution for laptops that need to use a PCI-e card. Sure it's not as great as a PCIe slot but you don't have the option. That's like saying a laptop is a convenient format for a computer, but you'll stick to a desktop because it's faster -.-.
