"CD Key Shops" ~ Legit?

There are many cd key shops claiming that you can activate games earlier by using VPN's and proxies.

 

They sell the games at considerably lower prices than USA prices, like €18.95 compared to $59.99 USA.

 

I'm not even tempted to do such a thing, as I already pre-ordered my collectors edition and such from gamestop...but are these websites legit? I hear a lot of conflicting reviews.

 

My personal policy is that if you have to ask, it's not legit. Anyone thinking of doing it to get the game a few days early...I'd really consider rethinking it.

All of them are illegitimate, as they are unauthorised resellers. Although they may provide you with the key, you have no garauntee that the key isn't stolen and won't come around and bite you in the arse at some point in the future.

The CD keys are legit (normally), it's the early activation stuff that isn't.

 

The CD key stores work by buying in bulk, for much less than you pay normally, and then simple selling the keys inside the disks.
