    CDkeys are just as dodgy IMO...

    Never heard anything about cdkeys selling stolen keys, nor do they sell xbox accounts like other sites. This makes them far more reputable than 90% of the other key reseller sites.

    They are definitely legit. G2A is a marketplace where ANY seller can move keys.

    CDkeys is one company selling a vast quantity of keys.

    I have come across decent deals on the site with nothing that would strike me as too good of a deal to raise a red flag.

    It's a grey area really, generally anything found on https://m.reddit.com/r/gamedeals are verified resellers and "legit"

    I've used CD keys myself with no issue's on the MCC recently, it's still a key reseller though, even if they are not selling accounts per sé...

    When in doubt always verify with Reddit :pac:

    They have to be verified to get listed on there..


    Remember a while back Devolver Digital had a beef with G2A, a lot of publishers then after put up their verified reseller list :

    I buy Xbox live for my kids on cdkeys, then I create a card on the computer with the code on it and print on photo paper. Put in an envelope in their stocking.

    Check out https://www.amazon.co.uk/Access-Xbox-Membership-Months-Online/dp/B01M1I7TLQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1481650809&sr=8-3&keywords=ea+access
    They have EA Access and Xbox Live for 12 months at £54.99 which might work out cheaper for getting both.

    If I were you I'd buy a physical copy of Fifa 17 and buy the offer Max posted of Xbox Live + EA Access, then when Fifa 17 gets added to The Vault in March/April you trade the disc into CEX and they usually offer €25-30 cash.

    Yes, get Parcelmotel and then setup an account with Amazon using the Parcelmotel UK address, order the product with that address and they'll send you the code

    hi lads, in relation to the above, i was just wondering if digital versions of games are region locked from outside the eu if that makes sense? i wanted to buy this but not if i have to mess around with the consoles network settings or anything, also i am assuming there is some sort of parcel motel equivalent for deliveries from the US that I could use for the address?

    https://www.amazon.com/Forza-Horizon-Xbox-Windows-Digital/dp/B01GW3PAYE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1

    i know its possible from uk amazon, but not sure if this might be different. thanks in advance!

    All Xbox One digital keys and subscriptions are global, in other words US keys will work.

    Haven't seen a peep about an xmas sale on live from MS this year :confused: Normally we'd have a trailer and the daily deals would be imminent and the PS one is in full swing. They did nothing for cyber monday either :(

    Not sure if I'm right, but wasn't the live sale on the actual week of Christmas last year? I'd say it'll be kicking off next Tuesday and going on until the Tuesday after Stephens day. The yanks don't get as much time off for Christmas as we do, thanksgiving always seems to get more of an emphasis.
