Too good to be true? XP, office XP, photoshop, etc...

linky

This has to be bogus, right? If not, it's an incredible deal, but is software legal without the boxes and manuals? Could be legal if it has an original product key, right?

-D.

Probably.

They "ship" from Eastern Europe. They have no contact information, just a blank form.

I wouldn't waste my money.

has to be fake, even the service packs have to be from them which i heard was how the illegal copy worked... so i think its fake

 

[iamme]

also, check out their FAQ.

they refer to themselves as "BlazingCDs" and "CD Cheap".

makes you wonder why they've changed their name so many times.

too many red flags......Don't bother

How can you sell this software so cheaply? It seems too good to be true - is there a catch?

There is no catch - the software versions that we sell are OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) which means you receive the installation CDs only (they do not come in their original retail packing and do not include the manual). We guarantee that all programs are the 100% fully functional retail products - no demos or academic versions. When you order, you will receive all materials required for a complete installation - or your money back! Why pay hundreds of dollars more when you can get exactly the same but cheaper? You don't have to pay that much for the fancy box and manuals.

Basically...they burn CDs and ship them from Europe.
