IF warcraft 3 retails for $69, why's it all over the internet for $20-$35

There's a lot of places selling it for $32.95 You can find it on ebay for $20-$25. Are these legit copies? It seems like the price is WAY low. Have the CD keeys been copied or something and I wont be able to play online?

I'd like to get it for $30, but I don't want to get ripped off.

I got it at Fry's for $35.99. They had a ton of copies on the shelves, so I assume they were trying to reduce some stock, because Warcraft III was everywhere. So sure, those copies should be legit if they are from a good store.

The ebay ones have a good chance of that. Wouldn't suprise me to see some person buy it, copy the cd(s) and the key, then sell the game. Kind of suck to want to get online only to find out the cd key is already in use.
Best bet is to buy it from a store. $35.99 is a pretty good price.

I never trust ebay, but finding it in a retail store for $35 is pretty dang rare. Finding it online for that price is a bit more common though through hot deals posts and stuff. Just buy it, and price match within 30 days. =P I bought it for straight up retail price $59.99 real fast (I would never spend that much on any game) and just got a refund when it dropped to about $40 (which is just bearable) in stores.
