Widget Bucks

There is a new ad network Widget Bucks. They offer $25 for sign-up and some decent cpc.
I've tryed them out myself and the ads (widgets) as they call them are pretty interesting.
You can choose from over numerous categories like gaming consoles, pc pheriperials, ps2 games, ps3 games, xbox360 games, wii games, movies dvd, tv shows dvd's and so on...
Average CPC i'm getting is $0.10 per click which is pretty good for a new network.
They have partnership with some online stores as amazon and all seems good for now.

I still heavent reached payment stage (probably will not happen this year) so i can't tell if they are legitimate and if they pay on time.

Well i guess time will tell if they are here to stay or not!
