Saw this site while watching IMBAtv earlier.

Does anyone know if the website is legit? I don't want to buy anything that might be confiscated, but they do have some pretty good deals.

Any thoughts/comments appreciated. Thanks!

I cant speak to that site in paticular, but be careful if you buy steam keys. Keys are priced per region, and some area, like southeast Asia are much lower in price than say, Europe or the US. I remember a few years back lots of people who bought low priced Orange Box keys from Vietnemese or Thai vendors got their games taken away by Valve because their Steam account was based in another region.

A lot of these sites sell "grey" market keys. Meaning, they are keys that are sold in other countries for significantly cheaper due the the economy and/or to combat piracy there. Those keys are not suppose to be sold out of said countries.

It isn't uncommon for companies to ban a grey market key from your account. Some people slip by and sometimes games are just ignored but many do get the game removed from their account (EA did remove a lot of BFBC2 from peoples accounts when it first came out that bought grey market keys and valve did it when the Orange Box came out as well for just two examples).

So just a heads up on that.
