    Still wish I had gotten it at th $1119 price, that was an absolutely incredible deal.

    But yeah, this price drop happen mid-afternoon yesterday while was searching through the ASUS G50 line. One minute it was $1499 and the next it was $1349. I assume that it has something to do with ASUS's recent $100 dollar rebate on their A1 and A2.

    Yeah, I was kicking myself this morning too when I saw the price drop. Then I called Newegg and they said they would refund me the $150 even though it shipped. Made my day.

    P8600, only has 3MB L2 Cahce? My Asus G50Vt-A2 is coming with T9400, 2.53MHz with 6MB L2 Cache.

    I got a Free 3rd Year U.S. Warranty when I bought it. However, I bought it 1 month too early. They just have a new $100 mail-in rebate program.
