    Is Alienware allowing us to purchase these seperately yet? I would really like to get one for my R2.

    I got it on the R2 that I ordered this monday.

    In Denmark the Killer Wireless is an option that can be added for an extra fee of 25$ (The prices in Denmark are usually way higher than in the US, due to taxes and all kind of to support slackers. Yay for high wellfare -.- )

    They are very easy to install, and it should be a quick swap.

    I wouldn't buy it. I got the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 With Bluetooth 4.0 (Standard) and literally get zero ping (a dash mark) when playing battlefield 3 with my Alienware m14x r2. Then again, I play it on a T3 line. Either way, I hold myself from purchasing a Killer Wireless product till it significantly improves and is worth buying.
