PC Games are in a slow market now, since console development is in high gear. Hapened during the 32/64 bit age. Just wait until the development starts to slump a bit...then the computer market really picks up again. The 'golden age' of the console is usually a constant of 1 or 2 years, with the PC's golden age being 2 or 3 years because of upgradability of PCs. Computer games are not going away though. It's just a slow time.

I totally agree about buying games online. Just Monday night, my math teacher just bot a PS2, and bought GTA:Vice City from Toys R Us. I on the other hand, just the other week bought 2 games online, from gogamer.com and I order online It all really depends on the buyer too, those who like to see what B&M's have and etc. I like B&M stores, but they don't go on sale!! I know it can go on sale to like $35... but they don't at B&M's anymore the 'sale' is at 40 so I wait till gogamer.com has it in the 48 hour madness did that with Splinter Cell and Morrowind, got both games for $50 shipped (both on separate days) can't be any happier . Also, for console game owners, gogamer.com has 48 hour maddness on those games too, but it's not as big of a variety. (BTW, I am not affiliated with them at all, just love their service + prices)
