Hello all,

I see a lot of games in here cheaper than the retailer or amazon.com. And they seem to have mostly free shipping.

Has anyone used this site to buy games or know of problems/bad experiences with them (or even heard of them)?

Well that same game is $32.99 here http://www.nws-online.net/ and Christopher Dean is a respected guy around here. So order from someone you know isn't going to rip you off.

I would have to assume that source was good.

The page "about us" says all you likely need to know.

This place has Jim Dunnigan as editor in chief.
I sure hope it's a serious source :)

Was not aware they did sales though.

I personally think they should be given maybe a more formal greeting by the staff here if they have never had it offered.

I've heard of them, as Aries points out that's Jim Dunnigan's site. I believe that Dunnigan used to work for SPI and during the '91 Gulf War ABC used him as a consultant to explain the ins and outs of the war. IIRC Dunnigan predicted a long and protracted was because of Husseins elite units. I'm sure that he's on the level, but, as Leftie points out you can get it cheaper from Chris Dean and I have ordered fron NWS on-line.

Thanks for the info everyone! Of course, now I finally see there is a whole section under the community area about the nws site hehe.

I have bought stuff from Chris before. I think most people around here know he will give you a fair price and is trustworthy. In my mind that sure as heck beats giving my money to some guy on ebay.
