However, when I lived in Portland there were several stores there and I tried to buy things from them some. Just this past weekend I went to Kansas City and spent some money on games there even knowing it cost more, because I want to support the local stores. But, as with shopping at Walmart or buying everything from Amazon, it's very hard to pay more when you know you can get it cheaper. But then, online stores aren't going to host game nights.Jonathan H.

Also, my FLGS prices are more like $10, $15, or more higher than online retailers. I want to support them but my desire for games... and food... is higher. It is a sad state I know, but I can only afford to visit them when they have sales.Anthony Goodwinhttp://twitter.com/AnthonyGoodwinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-58793398701085148882010-06-17T15:03:39.913-07:002010-06-17T15:03:39.913-07:00I just checked it out online.

It's a bit of a drive for me (about an hour), so I'm not sure that it can be my regular game shop.<br /><br />But their idea of game rental is super sweet. I may have to check it out.

It costs more, but I've lived through enough comics/D&D/gaming/etc. stores closing to know it's hard for them, and I'll waste that $10 on more frivolous stuff anyhow.<br /><br />Also I seem to remember you alluding to being in Southern California, the store I go to is called Gameology in Claremont. They have a ton of games for rental in store, or you can take them home for $10 and put that towards your purchase if you decide to buy the game. It's a sweet deal. Plus the people there are cool and have showed me how to play a bunch of games and are generally good folkmunchehttp://twitter.com/munchenoreply@blogger.com
