    Guys I need your help? Does anyone have the Orion Messenger Bag or other bag who uses the alien head with that kind of metal or plastic, I really don't know what it is but mine got scratched :mad: and I don't know how to repair it.

    I really get angry with myself when I do this kind of mistakes but this time it woesn't me, it the was the lady from a hotel that I went and I leaved the bags with her because the room wasn't ready when I arrived....thatha alien head scratched like hell

    Yes the right thing to do is to give the money back, I wanted but Alienware in Portugal doesn't exist, so I tried to order from other store but they can't do it they talked to Dell but now they told me good news, Alienware is comming to Portugal....YEAH! :D (in October it's worth the wait without the problems from the last stor)

    I'm certain that there are more than just '7' Alienware owners in India, probably they aren't there on this forum. I voted India. That makes it '8'.

    Hey everybody got a question for you!

    Which of you felt in the skin the harsh price of alienware, if you notice, alienware in your contry(depending the country) it's more expensive than buying in USA, so I'm asking which countrys(you) fell the deep cut on your wallet after buying the alienware.

    And why? Why should you pay more than other people in other country? Why do have pay more and can't have the bonus that alienware offers in other principals countrys. Why??

    Yes, why... ask Dell. Probably because they can ask for more and still sell them...

    In my country Dell doesn't sell alienware directly it only sells through a internacional shop and still people won't buy it because the price is too elevated compared to the USA price.

    Well, systems other than Alienware are more expensive than in the US too... so there's no choice than to pay more. (Though, AW is still 100-200 bucks more expensive than systems with similar specs, but I think it's totally worth it)
    ...and ordering from foreign countries isn't always cheaper. Shipping, custom fees and sometimes you won't get warranty and support.
