    I sent an email asking if there are any discounts available for those living in Canada and heres what I got.

    What the F*ck is this? So much for Alienware being a "Global brand"

    Did you Pick "Canada" on the Alienware website? They ship to Canada if you order it from the right website.

    Damn, I figured this may have been some sort of new policy just made...I'm going to try and use this email to my advantage and see if I can haggle down the price for all the "trouble" they put me through.

    Tell them that the minute you read that email you're heart broke in two and you had to get a new one. They now owe you a new heart, but you will let them off with a free laptop. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Has this always been true? I ordered a Alienware M17X and then some guy from dell called me and convinced me to get a dell M1730 saying that he could not ship the M17X to Canada. This was a year and a half ago. Does anyone know if they have always shipped the M17X to Canada because as far as I can tell they have and I was lied to.

    Well at least they don't tell you "The order was shipped on 7th of December 1999..." That's the answer I just got from the automated system. For a second I felt like Filip J. Fry in a year 3000... :p
