    Does anyone else here use www.G2play.net?

    I find I'm using them more and more to get the latest games at a fraction of the Irish/European retail price. It's all perfectly legitimate aswell (from what I read), they simply buy the games at far cheaper Asian prices and re-sell the CD keys.

    Just bought myself Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for 23 quid. Can't beat that. :D

    But they also gave you the typed out key so you could copy and paste it, no? Even if they didn't, you can read that perfectly fine.

    I've ordered from them multipile times, and every time a thread like this is made, I always say the same thing - they are excellent.

    Just used them to buy the Dawn of War II Chaos rising expansion. Used my reward points I had with them, total came out at 14 euro. Key delivered instantly and used with Steam, can't complain.

    Valve brand them as unauthorized retailers and advise people not to buy off them as the CD Keys may be blocked down the line. A large batch of them were disabled on Steam late last year but G2Play seemed to hand out new ones after the pressure piled on from customers.

    All the same though, most people dont have any issues.

    When cancelling their keys, the Bloodbowl guys said the keys are actually bought in bulk for use in internet cafes and thats why they're cheaper, but they're also breaking the terms of the licence by selling them on.
