It seems that some internet sites at the moment are able to sell games at very cheap prices, and the games aren't copied!
I was just wondering that even though Special Reserve claims it is a 'discount network', which it is as it does offer slight discounts on games. How do some other sites afford to sell games that are sometimes up to £10 cheaper than Special Reserve games?
I was looking at a certain game just now, game 'X', it is priced at £39.99, but game 'X' is available to be bought at site 'Y' for £29.99.
I know SR has got to pay for all the staff which will mean that prices go up, but for a site to offer games £10 cheaper just doesn't seem right.

Although I am going to stay a member of SR, I am going to buy my games from site 'Y' because it is so much cheaper. SR really need to think about becoming more competitive because there are many cheaper sites and shops popping up.
They probably buy thousands and thousands of copies in one go, thus getting a big discount.
Simple.
Or something like that....
