Anyone ever bought this or from here? Price is what puts up a red flag.

hm I've never seen that site before.. So I don't know if it is a scam or real. $60 for xp, and office 2003 seems awfully cheap for that... If you were to buy a new OS I'd try to do it through some well know site at the very least

like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116400

That would be the actual price for xp $60 could be a scam but if you want to do it do ahead..

That seems pretty sketchy to me. Thats REALLY cheap for XP alone, and it comes with the full Office suite? I'd be wary before sending them your credit card #.

" Volume license Included. Unlimited Installs FIRST YOU GET..."

I've never seen a shop sell a volume license version of Windows (to a consumer).

" You will receive 2 seperate CDR's with a license key for all programs on the disc.

Attention:

By pressing this button you agree that you are purchasing the software that does NOT include any COA label or a sticker from the manufacturer & comes on a CD ,There is no technical support provided by the software manufacturer. You can still get automatic updates. You will receive the Full version on CD & a volume license key number only. All the software we offer in the English language only."

Yea, I'm calling this BS. It's probably all illegal software.

In this case, the saying "if it's too good to be true, it is" comes to mind.

One of my friends bought something like this. The XP cd was from a Dell pc, and it was scratched to hell. Thought he just borrowed it from another friend who happened to have the same cd cause I've formatted his, but he swore that's the cd he got and I know he bought it cause I entered his credit card info on my pc. Was so scratched it wouldn't even install. Don't know if that place will be like that, but like this it was the cheapest place he could find.
