HUGE XPS Gen 2 Sale!

what do u mean by "EPP"

ah, Linkage?

Crap.... how do u get on there mailing list?

If this is true than I am so mad I don't know how to explain it.

I understand that you're pissed, Dragon, but may I offer a small bit of advice?

Be happy that you can afford such a nice computer (let alone two or three!). A lot of people, even those on these forums, cannot and may never be able to drop 2+ grand on a shiny new Dell.

Not trying to be a "let's all get along" type of guy. Just hoping you realize that you are fortunate, even if you do get jipped from a coupon from Dell and they don't want to pony up the bucks to refund you.

Game on.

Taken care of

Did they refund you? o_O *perks up*

It looks like you need to work in one of following industries in order to even be considered for this deal:

1) State & Local Government
2) Federal Government
3) Education (K-12 or College teacher or school employee)
4) Healthcare industry

You really should edit out all that personal info.

Well done.

This fine print confuses me:

he Premium Service Package includes a 4 year Limited Warranty, At-Home Service, Tech Support, 4 Years of CompleteCare Accidental Damage Service, plus 1 Year Complete PC Online Training package. The Plus Service Package includes a 3 year Limited Warranty, At-Home Service, Tech Support, plus 90 day PC Basics e-Learning Package.(Premium Packages NOT available in Florida)
EPP Special Select 2, 3 or 4yr Warranty + Complete PC Training Pkg. & SAVE $20...90 day PC Basics Learning pack Online Training!
The Inspiron XPS comes standard with 1yr ltd warranty, 1yr mail-in service and 1yr tech support. Extend your systems limited warranty and service contract and stay protected.

Yet they offer complete care separate - you can add it or subtract it (??)

I recommend XP PRO

and do not get the DVD writer, buy it separately. It's about the same price then you get DVD writer and DVD rom instead of only DVD rom

Where do you find the EPP 33% off coupon? I'm a student, AND I work for the government... where can I find it?

well my prefered account shows $2229.78 used which is what the price was after tax so I guess this means it went through? i sure hope so

alright! got my order/customer number ship date is estimated at the 20th, awesome, I only wish i got the 4 year warranty for like $100 more, oh well, 2 years is good enough.

When I used the epp It was only going to save $6 because they wouldnt allow the discounted price, only the 12% discount.
