Bought my key from Intkeys.. $24 or something (with a Discount Coupon code i found). Steam = $69.. never buying from Steam again because of how they translate their prices.

http://intkeys.com/

They are selling digital copies right? The photos they are displaying is for PC DVD but they talk about sending digital codes via email etc.

They want £26.24 for UK

They sell the Steam code. They buy the box, scan the key and send you the code.

I personally don't find it 100% safe. I prefer to own the box.

Sometimes those services also need your login information so they can go into your account and register the game from another region. They are definitely a grey area. Some of those keys I'm pretty sure come from the Russian mafia. No, I'm not joking. I'm fairly certain that's the source of most of those Witcher 2 Steam keys on those sites.

A caution to anyone planning to import the PC version from another country - there are some indications it might not be possible to activate an import in your home country.

If in the UK and looking for a hardcopy of the game on PC, I should let you know I have pre-ordered the game from bybygames.com for £23.99 on PC. Couldn;t find cheaper, and they emailed me say they have contacted their supplier to confirm they will get the bonus maps.

No, but they have been around at least 2 years and based on their quick replies to my questions and the fact they actually put their company address on the website, I am willing to trust them. I paid by credit card so I am somewhat protected. (They also offer paypal). I felt good enough that I told my nephew and he has ordered from there as well. They had all the https: like they should and if it helps, they are in a good area of London! :)

It would be easy to just go to Amazon and pay £28 or Play.com at £30 and feel all wrapped up in cotton wool, but i'll take a small risk to save £7+! :)

Anyone know more about this int keys place or their region coding? I want to get the game on the cheap if I can (I would be okay spending $50, but $60 is $10 more than I want to pay!), but I don't want to end up buying something that won't work. I am in the United States.

If you can wait till Black Friday, I'm sure it will on sale for $40 at quite a few places.

I've done the Black Friday game buy the last few years just to save a few bucks.
 
It has been officially reduced to £24.99 in many places in the UK, at least for PC. The price reduction pushed it back up to No.1 in the charts, so it worked!
