From what I hear. It's because they don't follow the Suggested Retail Price, they sell it for less. They sell loads that way, better prices, more sales, better prices again..

They sold more copies of Diablo 3 than the official distributor on release day.. Plenty of controversy about that due to their prices.. But in the end, consumers win!

lol that's pretty sweet

Wish we had something like that over here

CE's are pretty much standard prices on release

Certain stores offer credit and other promotions sometimes though

There's pros and cons of course..

Prices are better but sometimes you won't know what the exact price is or pre-order bonuses you are getting until release date or a few days before. Can be a little tricky for collectors who are looking for certain stuff.

Ah so it's more of a fly-by-night type of operation then

So do you watch there updates closely then?

Not really, they have been around for years, and are growing, even before I started gaming. Their customer service is very good and they are trustable. They have taken care of their customers should anything go wrong. It's just that they aren't recognised by official distributors because of their tendency to sell under suggested Retail Prices.

Yup always follow their updates, have bought plenty of games from them as well.
