    He should make one for me... ship it to me, and see if it arrives before my computer does... course that would be a special torture if I thought it was the real thing :(

    Hilarious. I bet my box would arrive at your houses earlier than the one from dell.

    So just to confirm, the box is a box which has the actual AW box inside, right? (i.e. double boxed)?

    When I got mine it was already the cover box(thin flimsy ones) from Alienware then inside it is a box which has a handle(Like when you buy a new PS3, it looks like that box) then inside it is the box which has the adapter/powerbrick, mousepad, cap, recovery dvd and if you got the 3d, the glasses.

    Under that is the Laptop itself inside the thin bag cover and it is enclosed in 2 foams.

    I know your box will come soon with candies inside it hahaha.
