My command is now on production, and I should receive it on 6/20th

Hi,

I'm french too, how did you manage to get such a discount, that's 1400$!! Do you have a special phone number for that?

Also, do you know why the IPS screen is not available for the M6600?

[iieeann]

Mine estimated shipping date on 24th June, but i just called and was informed i will be getting it next week. Even the sales person has given the Service Tag number for me to put side order on additional power adapter bla bla...

I've received at least 8/10 estimates for that config and w/o the IPS screen, I've managed to get that price : 2380€ incl. VAT ($3390) with the WLED FHD screen, then I get a prop at 2570€ incl. VAT ($3670) with the IPS FHD screen....

It took almost all the day to get that price, and finally the sale rep told me that she cared only about my command that day...when finally the payment was done, she changed the 8x DVR/RW recorder for the 2x Blu-Ray for the same price, so 430€ ($612) more saved !!!!

So finally, from the first price ($5641 incl Blu-Ray + VAT), I finally paid $3670, so I get a $1970 discount !!!!
