    Now that was strictly with coupons through my mother's work. I am a student in college, well going to be entering this year and i do have studen id and email etc. I was wondering how should i go about asking for some sort of student discount and free xbox 360 on top of the discounts i already have. Is this even possible? Cuz i heard there was a 2% off for students AND the free xbox 360, but idk if i can stack it, also do i put the order in first and then call and try to negotiate or how does it all work?

    Students get teh same discounts for teh m14x as normal EPP patrons do. teh xbox is a bundle deal so if you already ordered it then you will have to return it and re buy it.

    Wait they gave you an extra money deduction? Also how did u do this, did u call up before you ordered talk about discounts and the 360 and then order through the phone or did u put the order in online first and then call up? Cuz im on the verge of placing my order but i wanna make sure i get all the discounts and perks(360) i could possibly get. Right now i have my Mother's 2% discount, 75$ off, and free shipping. I was wondering since im a student if its possible to maybe get another student discount AND the 360.
