    I found this cool site that seem to have a lot of DVD software sold at really affordable prices. And these aren't no names - very popular software like dvdSanta or DVD-Cloner II.

    There is also a very good game section with blockbusters like Magic Ball, Magic Vines and AirStrike II.

    The coolest thing is that there is a discount request form on the website available, so you can ask for any discount, even if the product isn't listed.

    Any price for DVD-Cloner II is a ripoff since it uses DVD Shrink's compression engine and Shrink is free. If you spend money for it you're supporting the unauthorized sale of freeware (that's theft in English).

    See this thread for more details:

    OK, did not know about DVD-Cloner II. I do like the site though (http://www.deprice.com). I compare prices through Pricegrabber, EBay, Shopping.Com and surprisingly they don't offer the best prices. You better go with the little guys. I bought three titles through DePrice.Com and asked them how they get the discounts. Apparently, they are just software resellers and affiliates with shareware makers, and basically give half to seventy percent of their comission off as a discount, which Pricegrabber and others obviously can't do. The best thing is that I ask them if they can give me a discount for software and they do. If they can't (for instance, if they aren't selling products of that specific vendors), they recommend other titles.
    The name of the guy who runs the company is David, and apparently, they have over 40 DVD-related software titles sold at discount, most of them you have to request.
    He did give me discount links for some of them, so if you are going to buy any of these, check the prices first to see if you can buy them that cheap:

    I don't know which ones are good and which ones are bad, and can't guarantee that all of these are sold at rock bottom prices, I think that these are the best deals around

    If you don't know which are good and which are bad then you're just here to pimp that site. I seriously doubt the legitimacy of it because I'm not aware of any site or reseller authorized to sell downloads of VSO's BlindWrite software.

    You seriously doubt the legitimacy of www.regnow.com?
    Are you serious, man? It belongs to Digital River, which trades on NASDAQ. RegNow.Com happens to the biggest software registration company in the world. And BlindWrite has dozens (if not hundreds) affiliates and resellers who sell its software online.
    Check out this listing, for instance
    http://www.softwaremonster.com/utilities/file_disk_management/blindwrite.asp
    or this one
    http://www.daolnwod.com/blindwrite_13213.htm
    or that one
    http://freeware.brothersoft.com/utilities/backup/blindwrite_suite_32555.html

    http://www.deprice.com is a software vendor affiliate/reseller site, just like all others. With one exception, they give discounts. I am not here to pimp it, it you or anybody else knows where to buy popular DVD software legally and get a discount for it, why not publish it here. I am a thrifty shopper, but honestly, I am not able to find deals that good when I use other services. I used to love PriceGrabber, but check it out yourself - you can't find BlindWrite through that. And Froogle? One listing and no discounts. I tried other DVD software titles with similar results, that's why I am sharing my experience with you. Deprice.Com is 100% legitimate is because I bought software through them. But, if any person finds better deals for DVD software, he or she definately should post it here, so folks can do price comparison.
    I makes sense (to me). If people help each other here with tech questions and recommend which software is better, why not share places where you can save ten a few bucks?

    Legitimacy issues aside, advertising isn't allowed in the forum anyway.
