    I guess too many people were getting the free i7 740QM from complaining about the specs on the homepage. They just fixed it to say i5 520M lol.

    I was one of the lucky ones to get in on that deal!

    I'm pretty sure it's my fault cause many of the reps I spoke to escalated the error everywhere and to everyone. I tried for hours and hours yesterday. Still can't get the deal so no purchase for me. Thanks Jbaker for trying.

    yeah i was noticed that earlier too...sucks hopefully few members were able to get in on it and grab a nice deal. Keep an eye on the outlet for 20% off i saved a fair bit of $$$ and still got the specs i wanted RGB and xfire 5870

    20% in outlet is on but there's only 1 R2 so far and the price is too high :eek: Been monitoring it all day with no change in inventory. Bought a Mini 1012 for $170 though.
