Not sure if I've posted something like this b4....sorry if I did.
Have you ever bought software from those super discounted software websites? I year or so back I considered it, but thought better of trying. Most them seem to sell about the same things at the same price. Titles are always older versions. For some things that might mean something, but for others, I don't think it would. For example, I've seen a number of websites selling Nuendo 3 for around $99. Now I'm sure there's some major differences between 3 and 4, but hell, for 99 bucks, who cares? (ok, I'd have to buy a dongle, but no major thing) It's download only and probably zero support and upgrades, but for what you get, I don't think that's a big issue. An example:

These places 'seem' to be legit, but are they? I've been asking myself, if they're legit, then why not buy? I'm sure Nuendo 3 would last me 10 years no problem.
So....anyone ever buy?
