I've seen games use either. Upon rereading Apple's guidelines <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/LibraryDirectory.html 
 >, it seems that Preferences would be more appropriate - although I  
see plenty of applications store such things in Application Support.  
To make things more complicated, the "Important" note at the top of  
that document makes a case for using ~/Documents/, but the last  
section of <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/WhereToPutFiles.html 
 > contradicts that, and I tend to agree with the latter.
