Title: "FREE" software titles... Atari, etc
Post by: Magnet_Eye on August 09, 2003, 05:55:36 am
Hey, I found this site that has "FREE" software, but you pay $7.50 for shipping. They have the Atari Anniversary Edition, all kinds of games and software. Who knows, maybe someone will find something they want. Everything just $7.50 TOTAL.

Is it just me or does that site reek of warez?

Doesn't look like Warez to me. Just looks like a bunch of shovelware. The software probably costs them .50 to $3 per title in bulk, and they charge $7.50 for shipping. Thus the price is built into the shipping.

Yeah companies do this all the time once a title has lost it's value.  Or if it's a playstation game.  Same diff I guess. ;)

Yeah, it's just a clearance of older titles. But there are some decent ones in there, and $7.50 isn't THAT bad a price I guess, depending on what it is you want. Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit is a great game!

Who knows.

Are they asking $7.50 per item or can items be bought together to reduce shipping?

I think if you buy 4 titles, the 5th one is free.
