    I have been following the hp dv6000t at hp.com

    I have noticed that they change the "free upgrade to..." and they change around the price frequently. Last night i saw that it says "FREE Upgrade to HP ExpressCard Analog TV Tuner!! " but you have to add $130 to your price... kinda wierd. I thought they would fix this problem by today, but they didnt. Hopefully they will take away that free upgrade and change it to a different one (such as free upgrade to brightview)...

    -MATT :D

    There might be a problem there though, most companies say in really small font hiding somewhere in the flyer or website that "<Insert company here> reserves the right to correct any errors, miscalculations, blahblahblah" so even if you do find some kind of un-realistic deal (I saw a Dell XPS desktop starting at $700 once), and put up an order, they'll probably change it later and not give you the discount, because of that rule they have hiding somewhere in the website.

    The flip side though is that by them changing the price, you should be given the opportunity to either cancel or continue with your order.

    They usually take a couple of days to fix such things and it isnt the first time such a typo has appeared on HP's website.
