[QUOTE="Argonel, post: 2390546, member: 30344"] I have to throw my 2 coppers in the mix and say that in general I'll suuport my FLGSs for many of the same reasons as have been mentioned earlier. In my mind the intangibles are worth it, and despite moaning over my budjet I can afford the price premium. I do most of my gaming at friends houses, but my local stores offer gaming tables, demo copies of games to play and in store gaming groups. They also let me browse the selves and flip through material, give me an accurate heads up on what is coming out and sometimes more importantly give me a place to sneak out to on my lunch break and just shoot the breeze for a while. In addition to plugging The Source in Falcon Heights as a store with a great selection, I've also patronized Unicorn Games in Oakdale, and my local store is the Gamers Den in Cambridge, MN. I see the higher prices as a tax to keep my hobby healthy, and support a local economy so people can buy what my company makes which keeps me in a job so I can afford games at any price. I see it as a philosophical choice that I am not helping billionares get richer by exploiting cheap labor here and abroad. [/QUOTE]
