Nope no mousepad which I though was just great lol, and nope no updates from them, the e-mail's i recieved were automated and I didn't get one telling me it had shipped when it had, I had to check myself. No replies to e-mails, and when calling the reps new nothing and could answer no questions, all they could do is ask me to get a longer warranty. I'm nbot complaining because I don't care what they do, I have it now and its amazing!! Only thing I'm annoyed about is next year I will be buying Vista, and Office 2007... Great. No upgrade or money off whatsoever. Nothing. £2158.49 or $4126.82. I know the Vista upgrade is for after 31st of october. I basically felt the Alienware team did not want me as a customer and don't really care, fair enough tbh...
