I just got an email from Best Buy. Order was shipped today (2/5) UPS and they gave me a tracking number.

It is currently backordered again and XPS 16 has been bumped to $1100. It looks like I ordered in a short window of availability. It also looks like they're playing around with prices. Check often if you're interested in buy from BB.

Thanks to Cin, I got my 7% EPP discount + 5% extra discount (12% total), and getting a $150 gift card to boot (case, 9 cell batt, and COD 10th Anniv set Yes, it's already saved to cart...)

 

Jeremysdad - if you don't mind... how did you get the EPP discount + 5% + $150 gift card? I was told that the 7% couldnt mix with the 5% and I wouldn't be eligible for the $150 gift card if I used any other offer.

 

Answered your PM, and replied to other thread.

 

WOOHOO! It is in testing now but I hear the next stage(s) could take a few days!

 

Aagggh overnight and it is STILL testing!? This is KILLIN ME!

 

Boxing.... I'm cutting my wrists!

- Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 3MB Cache)
- 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive

- 256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) 9500M-GE with Hybrid SLI(R) Technology
- 6-Cell (56WHr) Li-Ion Primary Battery

This was a stock configuration (was the model up from the entry model @ $1999AUD - price including $100 cash off; came to $1799AUD w/ 10% discount code).

Current Status: Work in progress...
Current Estimated Delivery Date: 06/24 (What the heck? That's ages!)
New Estimated Delivery Date: 06/11

UPDATE:
Dell has acted on my request to take my order as priority and now my estimated ship date has changed from 24-June to 11-June. This is good news but hopefully this doesn't mean that they cut corners during the QC stages. It's only about an 8 hour flight from Malaysia (Dell's ANZ regional factory) to Australia so hopefully I can get it either Tuesday or Wednesday next week - Monday definitely not being a possibility due to the fact that it's a public holiday. CAN'T WAIT!
