    I ordered my M17x over 1 month ago and as of yesterday it shipped. Would you all reccommend contacting them and getting an adjustment since the price has dropped since i originally ordered the system.

    Would they have any issue with adjusting the price?

    Has anyone done this before?

    Are there any stipulations to this that one must eb aware of?

    Thanks!

    It doesn't hurt to ask them. Contact Roswell and see what they can do for you.

    you could try echer but as its shipped now i think the only way would be to cancel it and start again.

    Ha when I saw the title I thought it was going to be about the price doubling.

    I got a m9750 in early January. Within 2 weeks of it arriving it dropped a good $200. Alienware ended up crediting my card back $200 after haggling them for a good 30min on the phone. U.S. Alienware if that makes a difference.

    After buying my M9750's in early Feb. the base price went down $200. After a quick call to Alienware they credited back $400 to my credit card with no problems at all.
