    I can get the xps coupon 20 / 25 % off to work ???
    Are they already off ?

    0$?X8RJ0$G3XLB for 25 on 1499
    K54SDRK72$L6W3 for 20 on 1249

    Argh I was ready to order my 1530 at 1500 ... so sad

    Actually the coupon say now: XPS 1330 but nothing about the 1530

    Yeah, happened to me also. Every site has these coupons listed for availibility on 1330 AND 1530 yet neither work when you try to use it on a 1530.....probably something wrong on dell's part

    maybe because dell came up with the 'NEW M1530" while the m1330 still remains as "M1330"

    Try on line chat with Dell sales rep. Explain that you are trying to place an order and coupon won`t work. They can check to see if coupon is valid , If it`s good they can put it through for you.

    Hope this helps, Good luck

    Wrong. It is M1330 ONLY, it was never for the M1530 to begin with.

    It did work for the xps1530 for several days, but they didn't intend it to. But it certainly DID work.

    well, EPP-> discount = 8-12%... i have a stackable 5% EPP coupon, makes it 13-17%..... and prices in EPP are already much cheaper(member discounts)...

    :p

    better than ur 20-25% off :)

    probably the best m1530 deal now, just over $1200 without taxes.... too bad its in dell epp ->

    13-17% < 25%, existing EPP discounted is not really much to begin with, so even with that... still not as great as 25%

    dont just look at the discount numbers... can u even config a m1530 (even without hte warranty) in Dell Home under $1200 with the 25% off coupon... i dont think so

    the member discount that i see is like $50-$200 off, then plus the 13-17% off...(theres a 10% off Dell EPP coupon on eBay right now... selling for $20... so its like 18%-22% off minus $20....)

    below is the best i can get from dell home.... with the expired 25% coupon, best you can get is $1450*.75 = $1080 (T8300, LED LCD, 2GB ram, 160GB HDD, nvidia 8600, intel n card, 1 yr warranty)

    $120 more for warranty, ram(lets take $50 from newegg to get 1 more GB ram, $50 for 90GB HDD)....hmm
