    Discount back up to 18%.

    This time it doesn't adjust and go down as you configure it.

    The discount is back close to what it was at launch. It's still 18% on the alienware section but if you go to the Hot Deals link and look on the right side of the page the discount is $359.82

    It's there, don't click on the alienware link instead click on the Hot Deals link. The bottom row in the middle.

    HMmm still not seeing it. I see a link to savings center and when i roll over it it says View hot deals, but no alienware under there. That is the only link i see that says hot deals. I see the 7 promotion links on the left hand side, but none link to any alienware. The links across the bottom are savings club, new items, cleareance items, exchange auctions, shipping information, and weekly sweepstakes. Any other hints?

    From the hot deals link, I'm getting almost a $600 difference between AAFES and Dell. 2720, Ultimate, X-Fire, BR Player, Ultimate-N 6300 3x3, 2yr advanced, HD Transmitter, rest stock.

    Does that seem similar to initial release?

    I am seeing a 700 dollar difference with the 2920, xfire, upgrade wifi, upgraded sound, and 4 year advance care. The wireless hd is delaying the order at least a week, and I wouldn't be suprised if it pushes it back more. The savings is still 18 percent though as I calculate it. I just opened a star card and suposidly I will get 10 percent off for the first day i use the card. Thats more then 300 more off, putting my savings to almost a thousand!

    Does anyone know how long AAFES dell store might take to add the gtx 580 to their system builder once dell does?

    When you first get into the site, instead of clicking the Alienware link, look on the second row of options. In the middle of the 2nd row is a link called Hot Deals. Click on that and look for the m18x there. It's cheaper than the one in the Alienware part of the site. The discount looks the same as of now, but the 580m is not available there yet.
