    Holy ****! "buy one XPS system, get the second XPS system half off". It's too bad they didn't have that promotion going on when I bought my XPS 720 desktop. All of Dell's gaming desktops suck now...

    50% off the 2nd laptop is at best 25% off each (assuming they are the same price), if they are different than it would be equivalent to less since the difference is taken off the lesser valued laptop.

    was wondering when someone would mention that :D.

    25% off is decent, but not fantastic.

    Or how about this? You buy one, and get the 2nd for half off. Then you return the first one for a full refund within the return period. Make sure you specify that you're returning the full price one, and keeping the half price one.

    I'm positive that Dell will fall for it. :rolleyes:
