Im planning on upgrading the RAM to 2GB through Newegg. Bought the Alienware Odyssey backpack with a superman mouse at Newegg for a total of $100.46 - $12.99 mail in rebate. Cheaper than the backpack alone if I bought it from Alienware.Also got $99 off the shipping from Alienware...was pretty cool.

Anyways I just cant wait to get.

Currently in phase 3 right now...had to deal with an issue regarding the credit card...but thats all done. Hopefully I get it in time before school starts again which is about 4 weeks.

Finally in phase 5...production. The estimated ship date is the 8th so hopefully I get it anytime next week. Just received the superman mouse and the alienware odyssey backpack which was purchased from newegg today. All I need now is the laptop itself.

Just checked today and is now in phase 8. Somehow its going through the phases pretty quickly...dont know if thats good or bad. Seems likely I'll be getting it in a week.

After 6 days..still in phase8. It zipped through phase 1 to 8 but now stuck there. Is this common to stay on phase 8 this long?

Well I hope I'm getting close. The estimated ship date was the 8th so I emailed them and the reponse back that I received was that since the Superman Edition is a limited edition and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity by Nelson Gonzalez, once he signs it they'll ship it.

Finally FedEx just picked it up today and estimated delivery is on the 19th at 7pm.

Finally recieved it guys. I'm gonna have some fun over the weekend.
