    Ok, so its PC gaming season on alienware.com and i noticed some little words that say "
    Game your way into FREE SHIPPING!! ยป" I clicked on it and it gives you the option to play one of three games and if you beat anyone of them you get free shipping. (-50$ to purchase order) It gives you the code, and its presumably the same for anyone who beats it.

    Unfortunatly, as is just like something AW would do, its not compatible with other discounts, so i cant use it with my 5% student discount. How bogus is that?

    Keep it non-sensational in here. Those sort of comments do no one any good.

    most companies are quick to prevent discount compatibility, so I don't see how AW's different on this one. Sure, it's pretty lame and it's a letdown, but that's what you get in our lawyer-driven world.
