Yea seeing games like tic-tac-toe in their site doesn't impress me too much. (I am serious I saw a tic-tac-toe for sale on egamezone for 4.95$ :D)but maybe that distributor will help newbie indie teams so I included it there.

Edit: Ouch, just checked them out again and they seem to have changed their pricing structure, this link should provide the pricing information www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/cds.aspx.

The problem with it is that you have do all your own marketting and everything. They just take the orders - one thing that's nice about regsoft is that people can either download the game or get it on CD.
Digibuy is a similar service but has a setup fee and seems to be set up worse than Regsoft. But they could be better at actually selling the games for all I know.
I think Xtreme Games actually uses the site http://www.egamezone.net/ for distributing now. Egamezone doesn't impress me much, even though it's kind of similar to Regsoft. They say they'll "market" the game, but they take half of the money. Regsoft only takes the orders, but they also only take about $3 of what you charge for each sale.
