    Ordered it today! But, for some reason they have not yet sent out the confirmation email or whatever it is to confirm the purchase, I assume we will get it tomorrow. But I haggled with the lady and got her to start the manufacturing today, because I said I had to have it before school, and I got the XBOX in there, even though I did not qualify.
    I pushed for the XBOX because I already have an XBOX and the Kinect, which I don't use ever, so I am going to bundle the Kinect and Xbox and all my games and sell on Craigslist for 300 bucks, which is pretty much like a 300 dollar discount for me. I pushed for some extra money off but she said that with the XBOX I was already getting for too much off...
    I got the standard M14X with the 2.0 Ghz i7 and upgraded LCD and the Neoprene sleeve. With the 2% EPP discount, it came to about $1278, but when I sell the XBOX it will be more like $978. Not bad! Although, if something happened and we never get the verification Email, I'm gonna be super angry. It was just a waste of time then. But, we will see tomorrow I guess.

    Got mine with an xbox (Even though I'm not in college I just used a random school code off the net lol) and I never got anything, just an email saying this is my order and another with tracking numbers. Even if I log on my account I don't see it.

    My rep told me that I needed to supply a real college email addy (.edu) and a current student id number in order to qualify. He said he could put the Xbox through my order but if they find that I don't qualify, they will charge me full price on the Xbox. Not worth the gamble for me so I didn't do it. Instead worked out a way for me to get $320 off the order so I was happy. I had to get a 3 year warranty and use their financing with 0% for 12 months. Not bad.

    Yea, they had to know a lot of stuff for the XBOX deal... But I figured out the email thing, they had sent it but my Dads computer didn't receive it. They resent it and it is now in production! EDD is 9/2/11, and the sleeve I got is due on 8/23/11. I wish the shipping was a little faster.
