    nope, seems like they're all going to go home early on Friday and not issue good coupons so that they can just relax over the weekend and not worry about having to send emails to end a deal that's oversold. Here are the coupons that will run through the 7th

    I was about to post the same thing. I'm really surprised that they don't have a better 35% coupon.

    I've had a feeling that the anti-American-independence sales reps would come in to work and launch a killer deal right on the 4th. Mayyybe not....

    Just for kicks, I priced a fully loaded XPS2 using the 35% off coupon. The total came out to...

    $2083 :eek: :eek: :eek:

    That's enough of a deal to make even the most strident Dell hater whip out the credit card.

    ((reaching for my wallet...))

    I have been wanting to buy a XPS2 but the damm site won't let me use the coupon. How did you manage to make it take it?

    I had that problem too with 9300. The problem was I clicked customize on the one with mail in rebate. That doesn't work too well b/c it has a problem cancelling it and the 35% off cannot be combined.

    I had to click on one of the starting ones with $200 instant off which could be cancelled when I added the 35% off. So yea, hope that helps.

    thanks Jhyphi

    That worked perfectly. Saved just about 1300 on my order. Been drooling at it for a while. It even made the 4 year super delux warranty that includes the accidental coverage affordable. Now I want to see them do the in home care while I do my 1 year tour in Korea, or when I rotate to the desert (active military here).
