Deal of the day item here for those interested:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_6716412_1?ie=UTF8&docId=1000208101&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_r=0Z76YZNEYZAX3V97MXA9&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=457286001&pf_rd_i=468642

good deal unless you can wait until black friday when Amazon usualy drops prices big time for a lot of games.

You can get a digital download copy even cheaper here: www.g2play.net/store/Champions-Online-Digital-Download.html. It emails you a key which you can use to download the game from the official site.

I got my copy from there and they sent me the key about two hours after paying. No need to wait for postal office or anything.

Ofcourse you wont get a box, if that is important for you.

This is even better, same price but with 60 days. Plus, I can vouch for their credibility - I used their LOTRO's 60 days time game card.

(I know that's doesn't count of much experience with the site, but I had problems with the cdkey and they helped me with a live chat step-by-step in a very professional way, for me it counts).

This is not a better deal, your link is only for the game card, not the game.

Only if you don't know how to get the game in his digital form ('nuff said) or want the physical box (which I don't really understand but to each is own). I referred purely to cost/time value, nothing else.

I'm not sure I understand what your saying. Even if I can download the game (which is no use if you don't buy a copy with the game key). So what I understand from your statement is, if I can get my hand on the game (physicaly or digital), I can only buy the timecard and I can play. You still need to enter the game key if you want to use the timecard, you still need to buy the game if you want to play. I was in the beta and I kept the same client when it went live and I bought the game for the cd key. Even if I had the client installed, I could not just buy a timecard and play.

This is correct. You need an activation key before you can actually play the game. Activation keys and time keys are always two separate things.
