    talk about being shafted. The canadian site for EPP hasn't been updated with the new models at all.

    Is this all us Canadian consumers get in terms of deals?
    I'd like to get a few hundred off the 1520 off, and I'm going to university next year, so Dell University doesn't apply to us.

    Yeah I always get frustrated reading these forums. I see some of the USA Members posting about how a member is being insane buying at that price when they can do this or that and use their $10,000,000 off coupon! lol

    Edit: It's posts like these that kill me (not commenting about the original poster)
    "I received $750 in discounts as well. I do hate how they apply the $200 coupon before the 12% discount."

    I dont think there is a EPP program for Canadians because the site Gautam linked us too is for the public sector meaning for the universities to purchase their laptops at bulk. I dont think there is anything for us Canadians like the EPP for the USA. I could be wrong but do correct me tho.
