    Today I tried to order above mentioned notebook at the HP Academic Site.
    But I´m not able to get the Xbox for free with the provided coupon-code.

    But if I configure a HP Envy 6, it works.

    Is it me or is this just because it is not available with the Sleekbook 6?

    Did you configure it over $699? That's one requirement to get the free XBox 360. However, I'm not so sure the $100 off coupon stacks with the Free XBox offer, I couldn't get them to work together.

    The price in the end (after the 100 USD instant rabatt) is over 700 USD. That´s why I don´t understand it... just the initial price is below 699.

    If they are doing this the same way they did last year then it is only valid on notebooks that start over $699
