    Interesting. Some1 else can confirm this? xD

    Actually... I just checked prices on ebay, hmm I might just stick to it since it's cheaper. At least I know they can refund the money back if the seller is a scammer, lol. Seller also has a reputation thing right next to their names so I can feel a little safer when buying.

    ive tested a service like this before - intkeys. i dont know if origin does anything with these keys, but steam doesnt like them.

    i bought dirt 3 for steam off of intkeys and after 4 days it was removed from my steam account. the way they get the prices is they buy them in bulk from foriegn countries on the cheap, and these keys tend to be blacklisted.

    basically, its not a safe way to go. im sure they are legit as far as wont steal your credit card info (not sure about the site OP posted, intkeys seems legit) but your far better off waiting for a deal or finding one on the cheap in a store.

    Oh some guy on my steam friend list gave me a Dirt 3 cdkey the other day for free! I did a little research and found out about the leaked keys! The next day Dirt 3 disappeared from my steam game list so yeah, too good to be true, but nonetheless the person gave me a free key and I got to try the game at least.

    i definitely agree with joshthor, i haven't purchased a key from the specific site mentioned by the OP, but it's a classic gray/black-market operation, where they resell keys from regions where the cost to purchase is low.

    it's certainly a good way to get your key blacklisted.

    I was a previous owner of a well known cd key shop. I've done transactions with many guys here on NBR so.. if anyone wants keys let me know. I can get the keys cheaper than the price that OP has. xD Also I had a mod (Charles) give me permission to sell Battlefield 3 keys on this forum when it releases. So.. I 'll probably sell it for about $30 in the Marketplace or Gaming section near release.

    just curious, how much is your semi-shady cdkey going for, and what region does it relate to?
