I agree. It kind of depends though. Let's take Risk -- there is no reason to ever break that board game out again, in my opinion. WAY faster with computer play.
But for most games, I prefer in person, if only because there is a social aspect to it. I get together with my friends and instead of playing poker, or bridge, or watching the game, and drinking beer, we play board games.
