Well, although the website is still showing my ship date as today (originally 12/10, then 12/17, then 12/26, then 1/4), I just did a chat and the rep told me that the shipping date would be changed to 1/28. Ridiculous, but not unexpected. Fortunately, she did confirm a fax number where I can...

Last Friday I grabbed a BFG at Best Buy (got the last one in stock, as another guy came running up to be informed I got the last one, so I guess that's lucky). It came out to be $20 more than the Dell deal. Throughout this whole mess, most people who kept their eyes open for deals could have...

Most internal Dell e-mail addresses are [email protected], so I'd try that. Sending a fax (with original to follow by mail) to the general counsel, however, might get you better results. When a sales manager gets a call from the legal department saying "we might have some exposure -...

Mine still hasn't been cancelled. Order date of 11/25 with an estimated ship date of 12/26. Until I find a better deal, I'm not walking away. See my original post back on page 28 of this thread. It's unlikely (although not conclusively determined) that Dell has the right to just cancel...

Well, add another one to the list. I just filed a complaint online. A fairly painless process. A spike in the number of BBB complaints might get someone's attention.

Well my apologies then. I'm relatively new around here and was just observing that his theory was counter to my understanding of the facts.

Rockstar - If I was a student with time off for a couple weeks with nothing to do but game, I would definitely pay the extra $30-$40 or so and get the 8800GT from another source before vacation. Seriously, although it sucks to pay more, the difference between the Dell price and the street price...

I actually just got an automated telephone call from Dell asking if I wanted to keep the order. I already responded to the e-mail saying that I did. These guys are pretty disorganized. The FTC rule that Dell cites to requires buyers to "opt in" to continue their orders if they've been...

I too just got my ship date pushed back from today to 12/26.

Bass - Thanks for taking a proactive approach and gathering some real information - not just accepting the company line from people half-way around the world who have no idea what the 8800GT even is. I hope your source is right and that you keep us updated.

Have you ever heard the phrase "time is of the essence"? Legally speaking, that means that the time for performing a contract is ESSENTIAL to the contract and the contract is materially breached if one of the parties is late in performing. You assume that time is of the essence in every...

I also just got postponed a week. A big disappointment, although I don't have the time to use the card until early January, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it arrives in that timeframe. In the meantime, I'll be keeping my eyes open for another great deal on the 8800gt. To all the Dell...

Luder - I agree that the transaction most likely would be viewed as your second scenario - we made the offer when placing orders, which Dell accepted by confirming with a shipping date. Obviously, our position would be even stronger if Dell charged our credit cards (it did not). Those who have...

Your very common misconception was the reason for my post. You're an IT guy - if I need someone to set up a network, you're the man. I'm a Harvard Law School educated lawyer and think you should probably defer to me on this point. If other lawyers want to chime in with case citations going...

My first post here, but I've been following along because I also ordered the MSI card from Dell and was keeping my fingers crossed it would be shipping soon. I just got Crysis, but won't even install it until I have a decent card to play it on. Anyway, my reason for posting is to suggest...
