    I just read it too, and I am reading it the same way you are... I don't if this is a mistake, or a sick joke.

    It should have just changed to 09 right? Probably a programming error. If so we should know by this time tomorrow.

    i see it to. i wonder what we are doing wrong. let me refresh. Lol.


    but seriously if alienware did push it back then they should at least give out some more info about it. they can't just push it later on and still think that people are going to wait for it.

    yeah, i concur. We can only hope it is supposed to be 09 not 90. That is most likely as mandrake and I stated. But if it is pushed back... Im going to order an m17.

    Its a programming error. The Timer for all the other languages say 9 days.

    Edit: ok not all. But the languages that dont have the Flash file playing in the background and just has a timer, all say 9 days.

    There was an error in the warp drives. They'll be a little bit tardy to the masquerade.

    Missing time is usually an indication of Alien(ware) abduction.

    don't get your panties up in a bunch. the timer said 10 days yesterday, so it says 09 days today. remember, for AW, launch date does not mean "date you can buy the lappy on".

    This time it could, hopefully, some signs indicate that it might be available to buy on June 2nd, the removal of the older notebooks, the decrease in price of the remaining two, also it seems that Dell is speeding up stuff in Alienware, like shipping, so it might happen in regards to this launch date.

    Such as which languages? Norweigan, Italian and German all have 90 days showing.

    Also, screw waiting 90 days. I'll just order an m17 if that's the new wait time.

    If it's still 88+ days on Monday then people can start saying screw this and screw that.

    So is there anyone we should ask? alienware rose or armado(sp?)? if they know, or sneaky? or that dude who gave us the enhanced wallpaper
    Maybe call AW, though that could prove fruitless

    any of the language sites that dont use FLASH.

    for example the Philippines, Vietnam, Brasil, and Argentina sites all say 9 days.

    80days 23+hours and counting.

    Unless I was in a 10 day coma I think we can fully confirm it's a bug now. ;þ

    I think it might be a website bug. I used to found a bug on the alienware website, when i bought my M17. the bug was: when you changed the Windows option from 32 to 64bits, the External HDD option would also be changed too. dont worry, this bug was already solved.
