    I think that they are on the Vista disc it comes with, but I'm not one hundred percent sure.

    If you go here: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellst...=en&s=dhs&cs=19&kc=features~featured_red_deal
    And... click on the operating system tab, the picture on the side says, "Windows Vista Ultimate (PRODUCT) RED..." and under that it says, "(PRODUCT) RED Screen Savers & Wallpaper... (PRODUCT) RED Dreamscene Video Wallpaper."

    So... from that I'm guessing it should all be in the disc.

    I have not checked wether my Vista dvd contains the product red goodies but I know that it is available for download on the dell driver website.

    Yep. It's on the Drivers and Download List of M1330 and M1530. You can get it even if you don't have (PRODUCT)RED :p

    Well... (PRODUCT) RED and the normal Tuxedo Black both start at the same base price which is $999. The only difference I noticed when I ordered was that the (PRODUCT) RED comes with Window Vista Ultimate included in the price, whereas in the normal Tuxedo Black you get Windows Vista Home Premium. If you see it my way, you're actually benefiting from getting (PRODUCT) RED, there's nothing really to lose plus $50 dollars goto Africa for HIV.
