    The prices look very standard, not to mention that the specs of the laptops are not printed making comparisons very hard.

    Not bad, but not BF caliber. All of those prices have been seen before.

    Right..well like I said..perhaps as the days get closer you will have more info! :)

    That's just Dell's pricing for BF..I'm also looking forward to the other BF ads to come out from other companies! :D

    If it had a dedicated card the ad would have mentioned it I'm sure.

    I was eyeballing the 19" monitor, and that Magellan GPS for my parents possibly, if we don't get them a lappy! :D
    (Will wait on the other adverts though, to compare price points) :)

    Whoa, that is good. Although I'm guessing it comes with just Rock Band 2, and not the instruments. So instead of paying $190 for the whole Rock Band 2, you'd be paying $140 for the drum+guitar (assuming you bought the cheaper Rock Band versions - dunno why anyone would buy the $160 Rock Band 2 versions since both are compatible). Still a $50 savings though.

    If it actually includes the instruments I'll probably go for it. If not, I dunno - I only know one of the songs in Rock Band 2 but probably half of them in Rock Band. And being a college student, the much cheaper overall price (if this doesn't include instruments) of the PS2 version is attractive. Something to look into at least.

    The TV deal is amazing, too. That's $390 less than it is on Newegg right now, which already is a lot lower than I expected for a 42-inch 1080p TV.

    Im thinking the computers with "unknown" video cards have the GMA x3100. It's just the way they love to advertise to people who aren't careful with/don't know what theyre buying...

    man that add is such garbage IMOP (at least to the computer items)

    The latest deal they had on the xps studio for 949 with dell 23" monitor and new core i7 was a FAR better deal than this wannabe BF add.
