    I bought W7 from them a couple of years ago and it wasn't a legit copy. After about 6months or so windows deteted that it was a fake copy and they would not give me my money back

    This. I've heard horror stories, but ordered couple games regardless. First time order, everything went smooth but 2 of 3 games doesn't work anymore. Second time I tried to buy they asked me to send them a photocopy of the credit card (!!!) and my ID. And I wasn't even paying by a CC (using PayPal).
    Wouldn't recommend them at all.

    I have used them about 20 times I would say and never got a dud key. They did ask me to send them my CC once though so i just blanked out all the numbers except the last 4.

    If it takes longer then half an hour I usually shoot them an email and they have it sent in a few minutes.

    Same here, on UPC in glasnevin, tried the website in my mates house the other day too (he lives down the road) and same story for him, hes also on UPC, could be a routing issue or they are blocking the site maybe?

    Got The Witcher 2 for €15.50. Came up on Steam as a Russian CD key but worked perfectly. Cheers!

    Link works for me. I'm on UPC.

    I have had issues accessing certain sites on UPC though. Even when they should be available according to downforeveryoneorjustme.com.

    I preferred the site when games were substantially cheaper than elsewhere. Now it's barely worth buying from them - considering the air of dodginess about g2play.

    I'm surprise by the high prices of some of their items.

    I just bought Bad Company 2 from them. To get me through until BF3 arrives. Only took about 2 minutes for them to send the cd key.

    I couldnt visit the site from my UPC connection either. I tried on my mobile phone which connected to the 3 mobile network, no problem. I then used Easy Hide IP and made it look like I was in the UK, I was then able to load the website from my desktop while connected with UPC. Why on earth are UPC having issues with this company? Makes me paranoid! I used Paypal just to be safe.

    They just send you the key. On the G2Play pgae where you purchased the game, there are individual instructions on how to download it. I downloaded Origin (EAs own service, like Steam) and then entered my cd key in there, the download manager automatically downloaded and installed the game for me. Its very fast too, Im on the 100mb UPC and it downloaded the full game at 9.5MB/s! Very fast indeed.
