    Dell/Alienware can price match. I've done it before, and a couple others here have as well.
    That said, you do have to pay tax through Dell. Most likely not from Newegg (unless you live in a state where you have to pay tax through newegg).

    Dell does let you haggle on price (either via chat or over the phone).

    If I was really hung up on price, I would buy from the outlet.

    Yep, I finally got a response from them last night (20 hours after I was suppose to, lol)

    Anyways, just debating now if the 4yr Dell/Alienware protection plan is worth $500 more than SquareTrade ($300 (includes 1 more year) and $200 in taxes)
