    Is this for real? On the Canadian alienware site, you can upgrade from a 6870 to 580m for 150.

    Anyone purchase this?

    If that is true you should order one before they catch the mistake. I'm sure they will honor it if you order it, but don't expect it to stay that way long.

    Already done, but it is a Sunday so they'll process it on Monday I believe.

    EVERYONE GET ON THIS RIGHT NOW LOL. 580m for cheaper than the 6970.

    They are not forced to honor it.

    Once they get charged YES they have to. It also happened with the 6970 before and orderes were honored.

    In the USA the 580m is still $600. The worst that can happen is dell will cancel your order, but I bet they will honor it, even at $150, I am sure they are still making money on the laptop.

    Also USA still shows 6970m for $250.

    Nah, the US website is fine.

    The Canada website has both the 580m and 6970m removed. The Europe site is missing the 6970m.

    Maybe supply issues?

    What are you talking about? The Canadian website has the 580M there from the beginning. Only the difference between now and before is the price. It was CAD$ 600.00 for the upgrade, now is CAD$ 150.00.

    And the 6970M has never been there. Always you could order only through a representative...
