Really? Are you going to not play a good game just because of a framerate lock? Sure they shouldn't do that, but if you enjoy the game, fps is just icing on the cake (unless you've got fluctuating framerate and/or stuttering but that's different). The n64 Zelda series was locked at 20 fps, but people really enjoy it and play it anyway. They did remake it on 3ds at 60fps though)

He never said not to buy games with the framerate locked, just that its better to get more information about a product before buying it and I agree.

Framerate can definitely affect if you enjoy a game or not. It's not just icing on the cake. There are plenty of games I've skipped because of a bad framerate. Even a steady 30 can feel awful once you get used to 60. It's always a bit jarring to go back to consoles after playing only PC for a long time. Also the N64 Zelda games on the 3DS didn't feel anywhere near 60 FPS to me when I tried them at a kiosk.

I was going to make a comment about framerate informing the decision, that it will matter for some genres more than others etc., but it looks like you've had enough comments of that vein anyway so have an upgoat.
