[QUOTE="firesnakearies, post: 4548974, member: 71334"] If I ever buy a book, or CD, or piece of software, or any other kind of media, in a retail store again, I'll be surprised. (With the possible exception of rare/used stuff in a specialty store.) It will almost certainly be for no other reason than that I have a relationship with the proprietor of said establishment, and want to support him or her personally, because the physical venue itself and the people involved with it are actually important to me. Failing that, I'm going to continue paying half the price to have it hand-carried to my door, by ordering online. Driving to a store and spending a bunch of extra money seems pretty silly to me. Also, suggesting that WotC or any other publisher should choose NOT to do business with Amazon or any other major online retailer is just . . . absurd. I'd like the company that makes my favorite products to, you know, actually stay in business. So no meaningless cutting of their throats, please. I'm totally happy to buy every D&D-related product that WotC puts out, and I expect that I will continue to do so for a long while. But I won't feel the slightest hesitation to finding the best deal online that I can for those purchases. [/QUOTE]
