LOL - What are those? Used Burned Hand-me-downs? I wouldn't trust it. You are better off downloading it via eMule v44! LOL

EDIT:

I have seen this kind of things before, there are many other website that offer games as low as $10.00 a CD, (MOHAA, FryCry, Half-Life2, Doom3, etc..), anyways theses "CD's" are burned ISO Copys with included "No CD Crack". It works - I suppose, but is not legal and you may experience Problems since it is non-secure.

If you want the real thing go to a Fry's Electronics, or a Small Computer Owned Store, they always have OEM versions available for $89.99-Home, and 149.99-Pro.

and you need to also

buy a $1 cable to comply w/ the OEM terms.....

or anything that is considered an internal computer accessory - I think mouse pads and a few others also qualify, just depends who you are buying from:) Edited February 7, 2005 by Blam-O!

Ya, those would be great if you owned a Dell and didn't care if you were leagle or not.

You would be in just as much trouble using those as you would a burned copy from a friend.

OEM's must be sold with hardware of some kind and those don't even have a COA.

Read the reviews-- high avg ratings on hundreds/thousands for each, how many years they've been on pricegrabber, etc.

I have no problem recommendng anyone to most those sites, there's the pricegrabber guarantee, your credit card purchase protection, multiple years existence on pricegrabber for many of them--- look at all the negative reviews re CDW-- and then glance at the others: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod...masterid=477480

If you're that worried, then just buy a license for @ the same amount-- and install w/ another cd....you can always verify w/ MS / reverse the charge............

buy a $1 cable to comply w/ the OEM terms.....

Just wondering have you ever bought anything from them?

If so, what was it, and what was wrong with it?

You're too funny ok-- forget the dell meisters, individual sellers / non-credit card accepters:

License only various in the $60's

5 students or teachers altogether can pay $39.11 each if they buy it en masse(probably what you get at some of the individual sites): http://www.sparco.com/cgi-bin/wfind2?spn=A545613
