Just curious if anyone knows what this is all about. I've seen them before but happened to come across this one today and was curious as to what the gimmick is. This is a link to the site and then the screenshot is when I clicked on the ps3 software.

Pirated versions of the software. Read the FAQ.

These software programs are copies of retail versions, they do not include a box, paper manual, or license. But don't worry they work just the same and include serial numbers for full unlimited use.

This software can not be registered. If activation is required a small program is included to help activate it. You can still download updates for some programs like Office.

The 'payment' site (metapayments.com) appears to be a scam also - no 'contact', no 'about us', 'Terms of use', etc.

There are hundreds, probably thousands of these. They get shut down, renamed and registered somewhere else, probably set up to do so automatically.

By clicking the checkbox on the left you agree to make payment
after you have downloaded and installed the software program.
I will email you payment instructions within 24 hours.

Charge a fee to give people to the downloadable trial of CS3. The money is not for the software but for the "service" you're providing. You get the money and none of the legal hassles!

The money is for the keygens that let you register some of the software. That's the "little application" that is included to "let you register it." Easily torrentable online. Illegal though. ...Ummmm... I've never used them.......Yeah......I'll go with that........... Razz
