So they have a 25% coupon. it is applicable to most wanted. meaning u can pick up the pc version for 37.50$ I am extremely tempted. Is this service ok? no tricks not problems? and i am wondering how big the base is online. it is troubling how many people ignore it just because of origin. That sucks.

Greenmangaming is extremely legit. The majority of my recent Steam purchases have been through them, and they consistently offer great deals.
Bought several games off there, totally legit.
The main thing is to make sure the game you are buying has a download code for Steam or Origin or whatever; their own 'Capsule' program is a piece of shit, and I made the mistake of buying the Witcher 2 off there and needing to use it.
Just like the other guys said, I've bought some games from them and they're great.
If you're in the U.S. expect a call from your credit card provider about an overseas charge.
Heads up yes with regards to the possible credit card question from banks. There is a popular gambling site out there called Mr Green Casino or something, and some banks seem to have adopted a policy of having a flag on anything Green, like Green Man Gaming... Its odd but that's how it is. People have solved it by simply telling their banks that GMG is not a gambling site and it works fine again.

If you consider the Russian Mafia to be safe then sure, go right ahead.
? what's this all about?
My bank didn't even bother calling me about it. I don't really want to call them up to make it work...
They are a legit company, I've had a sour experience with them and guildwars 2. I got my money back and missed out on all preorder bonuses.

I don't know man, do you trust green men? I know I don't.
but if you get enough of their corpses dissected you get a sweet upgrade on your interceptor!
Used it at least half a dozen times, no big problem. Might want to avoid any games that use their Capsule software, as I find it's kind of junk. Steam games have been 100% though.
The only problem with Green Man Gaming is on pre orders they tend to take preorders first then when they reach the last few days before release actually buy the keys to cover what they need. This can cause some issues with preordering from them. For example with Borderlands 2 I preordered from them over two months in advance, but didn't get my key until literally the night before launch. Meanwhile people preordering as little as 2-3 days before launch got theirs same day. Still it was okay since I got mine on time..... with Sleeping Dogs though I didn't get my code until 10pm the day of release.

Gambling is illegal in the US?
GMG is safe & I have used it many times to get Steam games, I have not used Capsule but also recently installed Origin & had no problems with that (although it didn't let me add all of my EA Steam games which was disappointing) GMG have been safe for me & they have some really great sales especially with the coupons

That's just a publisher thing, not a GMG thing. Publishers typically won't provide them until very close to release. GMG do state that they can't guarantee providing keys until the day of release.
Anyways, GMG is fine. It's a digital distribution outlet just like Steam. It's not a dodgy russian CD key selling site or anything like that. It apparently has some issues with US credit card companies, but they accept paypal, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Alright then. thanks. Now i just wish i knew if assassins creed will show up there....i would love to use that coupon on it.
EDIT: i checked out the blocked greenmangaming page for assassins creed 3.... they have it listed as nov 23, 2012
In case you hadn't realized it yet, the PC version is not out yet. Release is somewhere in November, Amazon says November 20.

*shrugs* I still do business with them Bonta-kun. It isn't a big deal, but it does happen, so it is worth mentioning for the op's piece of mind.
