|
 |
Hey guys! I know there have been threads about this in the past, but I couldn't find any.
So what are good sites that sell serials/keys for games cheaper than retail copies?
Thanks in advance!

I used to buy my keys at www.zest.co.th (Credit-Card). I have no clue if they're selling keys anymore. A year ago they stopped to sell the keys for games from EA to non-thai customers.

Yeah Zest is still good for non-ea games.
There's also https://gamersloot.net but it's mainly for MMOs (I bought keys there, they're legit)
Then also http://www.cdkeyshop.tk/ which is kinda new. the website looks horrible, but I bought keys from the guy on ebay so he's fine. He sells keys for EA digital download games there, so you just register those keys on your EA downloader account thingy and can then use the EA downloader to get the games which is kinda nice.
http://www.lioncorpkeys.com might also be worth looking into, but I didn't order there yet. It's only been around for a few days I think.

I've only ever bought keys from zest.co.th, so can vouch for them.
I've heard AgeRage are good too.

I bought my Cod4 key from www.keezbay.com a few months ago, seems the site is no longer up now, I'm guessing publishers are pretty keen to get them shut down.
I don't know why they don't have official ways to buy them, they don't have to provide you with the box, DVD, packaging etc. They don't even have to provide bandwidth to get the game because people have their own source for the iso. They just sell the key for £15-£20 and everyone is happy, they can already see that people are prepared to pay these CD-key sites to get MP access.

I don't think it will activate it on steam unless you bought it through them, my cod4 and cod:waw just ask for the key when you install and they validate the key each time you open the MP mode.

I believe zest now needs an address and some other stuff to buy keys. I had bought some keys from them years ago (battlefield 2) but last time I Went there you needed a legit thai address, and they insisted on shipping the boxed copy (maybe 6-8 months ago)

i mean you can activate games that you haven't bought over steam, did that with HL and HL2 (bought them in store and one day i activated them on steam) that's why i ask...

Alright, thanks guys! Anyone bought a Crysis Wars from these sites? All I can find is Crysis Wahead, which as far as I know uses its own key, and I don't want to buy that...

I thought you got Crysis Wars with Warhead and they shared the same key. Could be wrong.
In any case, did you know Crysis Wars is free to play until the 29th? http://www.mycrysis.com/newsdetails.php?news=39809

Yes, this led me to search for a key
As far as I know, the SP portion ("Warhead") uses a SecuROM serial, while the MP portion ("Wars") uses an MP key, which are different.

I'm not sure why would anyone buy Crysis Wars for multiplayer. I played Wars when it first came out for a few days and now once again for a few days with 1.3 patch. Nothing has changed, horrible texture popins in some maps are still there. In a game where main selling point is GFX that's unacceptable.
Multiplayer action itself in Wars is very mediocre at best. If you want online game with vehicles buy BF2. You'll be able to play it maxed with 4xAA and no shitty texture popins, and gameplay feels right. If you want just online FPS buy CoD4 or CoDWaW.
Not to mention half the servers in Wars server browser are cracked and don't require legit cdkey.

P.S. Offer available to nforce members I remember seing around, not one-posters.

If you want to play older CoD online I highly recommend CoD2, it still has huge player base. It's much better than CoD1 and UO imo.
