Over at NBR there is a really good discussion on this notebook. If you read my review and thought it was a good deal at $1349 (or $1399 in Canada), then you will be happy to know that Best Buy is offering it this week (1/27/2008) at $1249 or $1299 with a game and some in store setup and optimization (scary).

I have my fingers crossed that Best Buy Canada will run a similar promotion during my price match period.
