I haven't heard of this site before, but I guess it's kind of like a Steam-thingy that has it's own client but allows trade-ins? It's kind of weird... they are also doing a huge deal/sale thing that allows you to purchase any game, then trade it/give it back for a refund of the full price (minus $1). So it's basically like $1 rentals, online. I've also heard that this is refunded in store credit; however, it can be used for future purchases through their service which stocks a huge pile of euro-pc titles, obscure titles, and other indie-esque stuff.

They have ALOT of cheap games with some ranging in the 90% off margin. Furthermore, with their normal trade-in system, you can buy some games for like $2 then trade it in for 50 cents store credit, or just keep it.

BUT WAIT - I've heard some bad things about their downloader and DRM methods. Supposedly you have to log in every three days or you lose access to your games? I haven't confirmed this or even used the service (yet?) but for a couple bucks I can get a lot of games.

Their catalogue is the weirdest thing I have ever seen.

I couldn't find any info on the "log in every three days" bit though.
