    I was reading around on here and I saw people saying that no one has the R3 yet.

    Why is that? No one has bought it yet? or Dell hasnt released it yet.

    I built one on the dell website and was wondering if the 3D LCD Screen with the Nvidia bundle was worth it? I would also have to upgrade the video card.

    Or should I just upgrade the RAM to 6gb (from 4gb) and get the bluray drive.

    Just announced and available to order last week. Current orders are in production and expected to be delivered in the next week or two.

    I'd did your first of two options.

    Several of us have ordered one, but Alienware laptops aren't like e-machines, they are custom built and custom configured to a greater detail than most lines. Also the model has also just been released and there will be a slightly higher delay than normal. Having said that, it is the hope of those of us that ordered them in the first two days the website was available that our orders will begin to ship by at least mid next week baring any production / supply delays.
