There explanation should be enough to tell you it is yet another hacked version:

"About Our VCDS Cables

Our cables are made to the exact same specification as the official Ross Tech cable, and work exactly the same giving you fully registered access to all modules and features of VCDS 10.6.4 and 11.2 Beta software as well as older versions while being only a quarter of the price of the official cable!

Each cable comes complete with a step-by-step installation instructions and a digital copy of the Ross-Tech VCDS 10.6 user guide to help you get the best out of the cable. In addition all our cables come with a 12 months warranty for piece of mind.

We are the only company to offer our VCDS cables, and the only company that provides unlimited support for our products. With this in mind don't be tempted by the cheap Chinese copies on eBay from sellers that offer no support and products that don't work."

This thread will end up getting pulled if you leave the link in.

£60 for a non-genuine product - wow. Suppose it's quite a bit cheaper than what Ross-tech sell it for, but you'll get no support, and future software is unlikely to work with the cable.

Edited your error for you

and CURRENT software is unlikely to work with the cable.

Wanted to see if its worth it or not

Probably not. You can get a cheapie cable for £10 off ebay and use that with VCDS Lite (there's a trial version available free which has some limitations) and you can unlock that to the full version for $99 so probably about £60. It will only work with the older cars though. I.e. it doesn't do hex + can. There's also a few other limitations.
