Never heard of them, but then I don't spend hours trying to shave a pound off what I buy :)

Steam. Problem solved.

Actually they came up as cheapest for what I wanted through a google search that took about 30 seconds, I don't spend hours trawling steam :D

Pretty much, f*ck dmr discussions, or saving 3 bucks, or 10...i just like that i click twice and i got a game.

Although i hated steam at first, but the UI is designed by a coder :p

Ordered from Zavi before, usually find it takes up to a week to reach me. They have never been very quick.

Not had a happy experience with Play.com

Ordered 4 items. 3 arrived. One still missing. Trying to get a refund under their *ahem* "Fair Play" [lol] Guarantee is like getting blood from a stone. Won't order from them again. Sticking with Amazon.

I think thats why you are seeing sites like Simplygames start up, that sale games, with Steam codes alot cheaper than Steam. Picked up Darkness 2 from them for 4.99 when it was 11.99 or something in the Steam Halloween sale

Zavvi are like play standard is 2nd class delivery = 3 to 5 days through Royal Mail. Amazon are the same if you don't pay for next day. You get what you pay for.
