    You should of waited for the 40% coupon to come around again then order the XPS Gen 2. You could of save over $1000.

    That would of been great, but unless u havn't notice, when u try to us a coupon for an XPS Gen2, not matter what kind (ive tried them all for the past 3 months) it brings this up 'usually', sometimes a different message, but all-in-all the same thing...

    "May not be combinable with Outrageous Deals, dollars off, percentages off, XPS Generation II, or select other promotions. Only one coupon may be applied per cart at checkout. Coupon code expires after first 5000 uses, or earlier if offer is terminated earlier. The Home & Home Office site and offers contained herein valid only for end users and not for resellers and/or online auctions. Prices, specifications, availability and terms of offers may change without notice. Taxes, fees and shipping charges are extra, and vary. U.S. Dell Home Systems Co. new purchases online only. Purchase limit of 5 systems per order, but coupon discount applies to only 1 system per cart. Limit of 5 systems per customer please. Dell cannot be responsible for pricing or other errors, and reserves the right to cancel orders arising from such errors. "

    so.. think what ya'll want.. if u do get it to work.. congrats.. but at least i'll have mine in a week, and i'm verry happy about it! l8ter

    Hmmm... I got the latest two 40% off coupons to work when I tried them. They took a $2700 XPS2 down to $1887. I just didn't have the need to "pull the trigger" and finalize the orders. When that delightful 40% coupon comes back, I'll definitely get my XPS2.

    Of course, by then you'll have had yours for at least six weeks. ;) :p

    i think the last 40% coupon didnt work, but the one before that allowed the coupon to work for all inspirons. i think tons of people used that 40% coupon before for the xps2 and the i9300 that they had to cut down some limitation on this coupon.

    All of the 40% off coupons worked, I've tried them all. I'm sure they'll have another one starting today too ;)

    The $750 offs only somtimes work. But why would you want $750 off when you could have $1100 off? I woulda waited buddy. Infact, you'd probably save more money if you sent it back and rebought it.

    Yup, they work! I hope the 40% off returns soon, but I'll bet it'll be at least another month... though I'd be happy to be proven wrong. :p

    That one expired last week due to it breaching the usage limit (I would have boughten it, but my additional $100 coupon wasn't active yet :( ). Notebookreview.com doesn't seem too obligated to keep their dell coupons status updated as much as other sites. In addition to this one, I also visit Notebook Forums and techbargains . These are updated more frequently, and that short day to day lag time between this site and the others can mean abig difference in $$.
