    Woo new alienware discounts. Only applies when you start from a base upgrade though..

    5% when you spend $300
    10% when you spend $600
    15% when you spend $900

    If you nudge your order to the next threshold you can save a little cash..

    wow, that's a really good promotion. I just went through a ton of work to get my m17x priced the way i did and this promotion makes the same build come out to only $90 more without the haggling.

    Edit: Those numbers are wrong. 5% is $1799+, 10% is $2099+, and 15% is $2399+

    The website says otherwise, but when you put it in your cart the discounts get applied as I wrote.

    Base configuration is 1499, they want you to spend 300 on top of the base upgrade

    This is amazing! If I can get my return fee waived, the Alienware I ordered on the 5 days ago with the 460M will be more expensive than a new one with the new one!! I save money and get more, thank you for bringing this to my attention!!!

    Also guys, on top of this promotion, you can get another $50 off (stackable) by using this coupon code:

    I just priced mine out, and it's exactly the same price (Canada) as when I ordered it 2ish weeks ago.

    2 weeks ago there was a pretty crazy deal, and it seems this matches it.
    can't wait to get my machine!

    Phoned a Dell rep, he told me that this doesn't exist? Is region an issue because I am in Canada and maybe its because he's part of the EPP department.

    I'm really interested to see if this discount works. Also the rep told me that coupons cannot be applied to EPP purchases as they are already discounted.

    Great deal! Grabbed it plus called and got a few more $$$ off. Now I'll have one with the 6990 & BD-ROM. I can sell this 6970 with DVDRW to help pay for it. :)

    Looking forward to getting it next month. I'm glad I have this one while I wait.

    Cheers,

    I'm not ordering till I get my refund back, but the deal is good till early august and the 50 off coupon expires at the end of july. Hopefully I'll get my refund later on this week, my return is due to arrive on monday.

    Fear not. The m18x isn't included in this promotion, so your hard work negotiating was still a good deal! I was between a 17 and an 18, and I'm going for the 17 because I don't want to (or think i can) haggle enough to get what I want for the 18"
