    I have been checking throughout the night and even before it was supposed to start and it has always said it was expired. I even tried right after you had posted the code just to see what would have happened and it was the same thing. I personally think that 3 things are up with this, it never started, since from what I have seen, its always said its expired. Or its the wrong code. Or it actually ended in an hour which I highly doubt.

    Is there any way for you admins to actually verify that this coupon was ever used? I want to know if anyone here actually got it to work if it actually expired in 1 hour.

    The coupon code was correct and it works fine..just only for the short period of time from 8:00 to 8:45 CST. I used it to order my 9300 this morning!

    yeah, i sat infront of the computer for atleast 30 mins trying to place an order. And I almost give up on it because the checking out processes keep showing error page. I guess there were too many people tried to place an order! Anyway, I've got my order submitted finally. I think the coupon was expired right around 9:45 am. if not earlier!!! [:0]

    I spec'd out a 9300 this morning about 15 minutes after it started. I worked then, but Dell's site was slow. There was someone over in the forums at Slickdeals saying they ordered 40 of them. I'm sure there were others. Probably be some good deals over at ebay after these start arriving.

    this is unbelivable...expired that early...how could 10000 uses be that quick..according to the coupon it said only can apply 1 per checkout, so somebody must have like dell so much to order 40 of them and did it 40times...maybe they'll gain a bit of profit later..

    anyway, to me, $1500 configured system is not a lot, i used 800$ off and was better for me..besides with 750$ you have to pay for shipping, unless ur system come out to be $899...i dont see it worth all the trouble...

    Hey...I live in southern California and I got up at 5:30 A.M. and I actually used this coupon to purchase my 600M... I hit the check out button around 6:20...Indeed, the dell website was really slow, which probably means a lot of people were using it... sorry to hear ya that it did not work...
    p.s. I missed the coupon on last October...so, I know how you feel.. <blockquote id='quote'> quote:<hr height='1' noshade id='quote'>Originally posted by Darknessxk

    Actually,xps 500, my total came out to 877 after the 750 off coupon, and I didn't have to pay shipping. [8D] However, after taxes the total was 937.97, so maybe thats how I got it.

    $750 + a STUDENT %12 coupon you must add before the $750 off.
