    but i have no privileges like the USA customers do -

    I do not have access to their forum :( but my machine, although bought via Alienware Australia, comes directly from Miami Florida USA.

    Ummm i feel like a second class citizen.

    no one except US customers have access to the official forum. not that they're worth anything, from what i've heard.

    Yeah, the official Alienware forum is heavily regulated and there's nothing really special there. You're not missing much at all. You're better off finding information here.

    Having access to the official Alienware forums is like having dual-citizenship with Canada. It's nice to have it, but you won't really need it. You have it all here <del>in the US</del> on NBR.

    guess what guys my computer at Alienware Australia in Adelaide far from Perth City but there is a possibility to get it on friday or next week on monday but bad luck hit me.

    My boss just called me and they want to send me back out there on another oil rig due to emergency omfg i am going to miss out on my Alienware Desktop again :(

    Job is more important than computers but what should i do? Pay another $300 bucks just to have it sent overnight? or wait for 4 weeks after i come back from work on the oil rig?

    My wife and daughter has left for france on holidays, my mom and step father are like 60+ both deaf i dont think they are going to hear the bells ringing at the door.

    I don't trust them to be there to pick it up :(

    There is another problem alienware australia doesn't take credit card over the phone they only do direct deposit if i have to pay extra 300 bucks to have it sent over night but the bank transfer will take over 48 hours that is 2 days :( so i am going to miss it hahahhahaa such bad luck but i am not complaining really. just have to wait it out for another 3 weeks.
