hard to tell from the ad if the game is going to be free or if your forced to buy the optimization with it for the 1349.00

 

only 50$ less does anyone think they'll go $100 off or even $150 in the future?

 

Quite possibly. They have done it before.

 

see i'm trying to decide between the 6831 which is going for 1,199 right now and the 6860 which has more ram and a bigger hard drive and a slightly faster cpu which i'm going to keep for about 6 months till i know i wont have to use the warranty, then i'll swap it of a T9300. what do people think is it worth it to wait for the 6860 to drop the price or should i just get the 6831?

 

The Ad is the same as last time. Laptop + Game + Geek Squad = $1,349.99 or just laptop 1,299.99

 

Guess I am off to best buy on Sunday to get a refund of the difference since I paid 1349.99 on Tuesday.

 

All you will need is your reciept and credit card that you used

 

I know its great feel like I am getting a full tank of gas from best buy

 

Wow your lucky, thats enough to start my truck

 

The 6831FX should actually come with the same processor. The newer models of the 6831FX all came with the T5550.

 

on the best buy site it says the cpu speed is 1.67GHz compared with 1.83GHz of the 6860
check http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...=product&tab=2&id=1195599780039#productdetail

plus it's not just the cpu because i'll change it eventually, it's the 64 bit OS, and the ram to go with it plus the extra HD space, it'll just save me upgrading everything. the problem is you can't beat 1,199 for price, i would buy it but i'd rather the 6068 i just want to know if it is worth it to wait for it to drop its price by maybe $100, i don't mind waiting for maybe another month but after that i'd rather have a laptop so i thought i'd ask people if they knew if best buy would drop their prices in that time frame.

I'm perfectly aware what Best Buy lists on its website.

Best Buy Canada also lists the 15 inch FX model with a HD2600 XT, which seems doubtful based on the 3dmark06 score tested.

 

Just buy the dang thing P-6080fx just get it, it will not drop much more than where it is at now $1,249.99

 

1,249.99 was that a typo or is it going for that price somewhere, on the site it say's 1,349.99, i would by it in a second for 1,249.99. $100 may not seem like much but it's the difference between being able to afford a new processor or not. so i'd rather get it for less and wait thats all.

plus link me if it's for 1,249.99 somewhere

 

no its 1299 come sunday. im sure it was just a typo on his part . im sure it will be a month or 2 if we see it go back down to 1249 so i would say if you need it nowish i would just pull the trigger and grab it.

 

seriously it's Sunday already was that bad info? or am i just a ridiculously impatient man. probably the later. anyone got any news?

 

Looks like it's a package deal. Same price, you just get a free game now. Pretty misleading labeling the laptop as 1299.

clicky for BB deal info

 

Not a big deal...

 

Yeah, not a great deal and it's NOT the same as it was a few weeks ago, which was $100 off and a free game whereas this is $50 off and a free game.

 

The game is not really free, you pay $49.99 for it, it includes the geek squad setup. I just bought Crysis for $39.99 saved $10.00, and used my own geek self to optimize my lappy.

 

Just came from my local BB and got the $50.00 and the free game!! I picked up Call of Duty 4 .
The girl at the counter didn't know anything about that deal and said she just can give me the money difference but not the game until I showed her that online and she had to ask 2 more before she told me to pick up a game under $49.99

 

Sweet, I tried it, but the girl that helped me was too smart

 

No, when you put it in your cart it turns into $0.

 

You just show her the web site where it says free PC game . They tried to do this with me but after I showed them the page where it says FREE PC GAME they had to give it to me.
