I just returned from the london games expo w/ my friend, and I got a flyer for www.shopto.net.
When I returned home, I noticed that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was discounted by £5 I know that it isn't much, but a discount is a discount right?

I want to know if this site is secure BY YOUR STANDARDS, please post your opinion.

Wager your 5 pounds versus the niggling doubt that this might be a dishonest site. I can't really tell you which to pick, cause you could either lose 5 or 25 pounds depending on my miscalculation.

Frankly though, I guess in my case I'd rather put down the extra 5 as security for knowing what I'm dealing with.

Good luck anyways

So yes/no?
Well, since there were people handing them out at a legitimate games show, I think that they are legit.

It's just a £5, weighed up with losing the money of the actual game and your credit card details.
I'd say if you're unsure just go elsewhere for the game.

Actually, I forgot to mention, Its an £8 discount, because I got a little code @ the bottom, which gave me a £3 further discount.

Beside, I ASKED IF THE SITE WAS SECURE OR NOT BY YOUR STANDARDS.

If you have to ask, then probably not. And the fact that no one seems to have heard of it, much less used it to be able to actually give you a review of their own isn't helping its credibility.

WOT gives it a good rating. And a simple google search of "shopto" would have given you this:

thread on Shopto [http://www.eurogamer.net/forum_thread_posts.php?thread_id=76504].


No need to shout at us.

So, that means its good?
After reading most of the reviews, I'd still say stay away. The reviews are always either immense praise or horrible warnings, nothing in between. Something isn't right here, whether it's the good or the bad, but, you probably don't want to take the chance unless you can talk to someone(people) who has(have) actually used the site.

yeah, I thought that there is some sort of catch.

seems okay to me. Don't spend to much though at first. Make a small test buy if you really want.

If someone says to me "Is this site legit" I won't go near it. Why would I?

Well, they advertise in the metro and at MCM so they are probably legit

Looks fine I mean if it has HTTPS it's fine also if you pay by Paypal its completely safe ^____^

Reason it's cheap though is that you'll probably get ALOT of junk letter through your post, that'll be how they make there money is by giving you email and address to advertiser (won't damage you just a nusiece) so its either 5 pounds and lots of adverts or full price.

The skeptic within me is saying "stay away from this site." If it were me in your situation i'd stay away as a precaution.
