Thank you all!
Tandem: this link has very nice prices.
Are you sure it's a legal store?
This site is located in Hong Kong
Domain owner is from Australia
It may be me, but it looks a little fishy?
For example - they say they rip part of media files from games they are selling.
Did you ever try to buy from them?
Do I get official license from them?
Will I get all the books and docs that usually included if you buy it in every normal store?
If you have some experience with them - please answer.
Thanks again
I really appreciate your help

biz, you may be right. I haven't examined them, but after what you've said you may have a point. Their pricing is extremely low and one wonders if the software they deliver is actually licensed or not. You may want to send them an email and ask about your concerns.

I wouldn't risk it. I know CDW is a legit operation, and you'll get a real copy; not a copy burned onto CD-R.
