from experience they will probably honour some of these, but not all of them. the last time it happened, i placed two orders, one got through but i got an email saying that they didn't have the stock available to build the second order.

has anyone got their Purchase Order / Dell Order email yet? the internet receipt comes out v quick but i think you need the P/O to be more or less assured of the order...

i don't think it's a pricing error because on one of the other deals upgrading from 512mb to 768mb is £82

Told you it was a pricing error - dell charge loads for upgrading but don't discount as much on downgrading!

Pricing error...or Marketing Ploy? The last time they made a *pricing error* on a product I went to buy I was told I could purchase the system at the correct price which was £104 more.

i do think there is an element of that, they get some publicity and some quick sales, then they *correct* the problem

Had a phone call this morning asking to confirm how many I wanted (ordered 2, one for me, one for parents).

I said 2 and they said "Thank you, we can now process your order"

Not getting my hopes up but good deal

Not yet,

But I wasn't one of the first. I saw it early, ummed and erred (looking up prices of my old laptop on ebay!).

I was gonna leave it till today to order it (didn't think they'd can it so quickly), but something told me to order it there and then.

So I did.

No second confirmation though, but to be honest its not MILES out from what they sometimes charge for these things - I picked my original up four-five months ago, same spec except only 40gb hd and celeron 1.5ghz for £330, which was 30 quid more than this deal. Which in the fast paced world of IT is believable that it was correctly priced.
