    Read an article on Gizmodo that indicates the Xbox 360 elite is now bundled with certain configurations of the M1730!

    Though it technically isn't entirely "free" since when you spec the M1730 with a configuration that doesn't include the Xbox 360 Elite, the price comes out cheaper. Though if you already have a 360, you could potentially sell it on ebay for some money right? Though, nice idea on Dell's part. Not saying I'll be getting it myself, I'll stick with my M1530. With Alienwares gaming line, is Dell seriously making customers choose between "Alienware m15x" or "M1730 with Xbox 360 Elite" hmmm... Decisions decisions... :)

    You know Dell, this isn't gonna make up for not leaking anything about your Montevina lineup right?

    Forte, if your going to write an article that you got from another site, at least give them credit where credit is due. I don't know which link you happened to get your information from, but it just so happens that Engadget had a post about the exact same topic. In fact, they too mentioned the whole "potentially sell it on Ebay" idea. Actually, the picture on their post was the exact same as yours. Hmm, coincidence? I think not.

    Just saying to give credit where credit is due: (I'm not sure if links to other sites are allowed) http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/21/dell-offers-inexplicable-xbox-360-elite-bundle-with-certain-xps/
