I know that I'm only able to get my group of 4-5 people together once (sometimes twice) a month for about 5-6 hours at a time. With a game like Magic I only need one other person to play. Not to mention that there are any number of comic book & hobby stores I could walk into right now for a pick up game with relative ease. If I played Magic, I could literally  find a game EVERY DAY and play for an Hour or two after work. Console Games? I have 2 next gen consoles, the Wii and the PS3. And comparing the use I get out them compared to the amount of "use" I get out of game books is a joke. Once again I'm not waiting for anyone else to play, I just put in a game and turn it on and I'm ready to go. Even with online play it's really not that hard to find people to play against or with. So yeah, I paid $399 for my PS3 but once again If I played for 2 hours a day EVERY DAY it's still a better value than the $100 I paid for the core rulebooks. Also my two next gen consoles? BACKWARD COMPATIBLE. I'm actually finishing up play on Metroid Prime 2 and playing Metroid Prime 3 in tandem on the Wii. On the PS3 I literally just got finished playing GOd of War for the PS2 and I'm going to seek out God of War 2. At the same time I'm playing Burnout Paradise a Ps3 game. Computer games? Hidden Cost of the internet? What hidden cost? I know what the cost of my DSL bill is a month. I don't itemize the time, I pay the bill and use the service. It's akin to how people factor in the cost of printing out a book or document from their printer. It's crazy. You PAID for the toner. You get as much use out of it as you can until you run out of it, and then? YOU GET MORE TONER. (Sorry if that came off as a rant it's just a little pet peeve of mine...)Once again computer games are a better value depending on how much you play. For someone playing WOW or COH/COV who has a dedicated group or even just solo's every other day it's a better value than trying to get everyone together in meat-space for a few hours.</blockquote>
