Times are tough. Inflation is hitting, the US Dollar is having technical issues, costs are rising, and we need to stay competative.

So...we're raising our prices.

We hope you understand our position.

From this day forward, purchasing a single Bawls will cost exactly $2. That's the bad news. The good news is that none of the above standard price increase excuses has anything to do with this price increase, we just hate worrying about quarters so if you want to buy two, it will only cost $3.00.

To recap, new Bawls price is 1 for $2, 2 for $3. If you only want one, I would advise you to find someone else that only wants one as well, and you can work something out.

Comments are always welcome. The motivation here is that A), we're lazy, and B), we usually have more important things to do than worry about giving change, and we're pretty sure most of you would rather us be doing those more important things as well, especially if by "more important things" I actually mean, "kicking your collective asses in whatever game we happen to be playing".

[edit: If I fooled anyone, just to confirm, the price for the lans is not changing...it's still $15 for pc prepay, $20 for pc at the door, and $10 for xbox either way].

On the events page it says the X-Box prices are $10.00 prepay and $15.00 at the door... Just FYI.

Wow, who would have thought that being lazy is actually a viable motivational factor! :D

I see no problem with the price hike, it makes cents (sorry for the pun. :scrunch: ). I'll just buy 4 instead of 3

I started the trend!

*FeaR callously shouts: "Disco GIMMEH A BALWS..." Then he hands him 2 sheets of paper, American currency.*

*Disque gives a perplexed look and reaches into pocket for something*

*FeaR notes this, and fetches another bill, informing DisSSkay his new purchase plan*

*Diskkoo is overwhelmed with a sense of relief due to the quick thinking of Lord_FeaR*

Order is restored.

Can we buy 2? I thought due to low stock we were looking at a one-per-person situation. (I do believe there were very few left by the end of the night.)

Can we buy 4 for $6?

Can we buy cases and cases and cases?

Note: If quarters are too much of a hassle, know that you won't really need to deal with quarters if you just have people write you a check for $1.50.

We have no official limit on the amount you can buy. If you'd like to buy cases, just let us know a couple weeks in advance and we'll take care of you.

I'm not too fond of the idea of accepting checks either...it's much easier just to raise the prices. ;)

Yes, you can buy 4 for $6.
