    I bought the pre-customized M14X and found only two DVDs in the package - Windows 7 Home Premium and one M14X Resource DVD. From looking at unboxing videos on the web and review sites, I was under the impression that there would be more. Anyone else got just two discs in the box?

    I got those 2 discs then a XiFi disc, so maybe thats the Xifi disc youre thinking of. You only get it if you bought it with the soundblaster upgrade

    Have a try on YouTube under the keyword of "Alienware M14x Unboxing".

    But if you looking for the disc, like the comment post above said, for me I also order the SoundBaster X-Fi MB, so I got 3 Disc - 1x Windows 7 DVD, 1x M14x Resource DVD and 1x Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi MB CD.

    In one unboxing video, there was a Roxio Starter backup disc in the package, as well as a Resource Media disc for Webcam Central. All M14X's have DVD burners and webcams, right?

    Roxio creator was an upgrade for 100$ when customizing, and webcam I believe was under personalization -> security. It was the fastaccess thing where you login with your face through the webcam. Only guesses though
