No, this is not a sign of things to come. Dell makes these mistakes all the time. Ocassionally they won't honor the code and cancel the order but it rarely happens. Two days ago I ordered a still camera (Canon D20) for 25% off because it came with a Compact Flash card. Dell had put out a 25% discount on all flash cards so at checkout it gave the 25% off for the whole thing.

Enjoy!!! They "will" catch this so do it fast. Check any website out there and you won't find anything below $5,000 or there is a catch. Canon is really good about their dealers keeping a lock on the price.

Sooooo... just how legit is this coupon number?? And where did it come from? I would hate to purchase an XL2 at such a great discount only to find it was through fraudulant means. Ouch! :-0

Kent Metschan · April 6th, 2005, 04:35 PM

They post their coupon codes in various places. There's nothing fraudulent about it. If you go to www.slickdeals.net it is a place where people post great sales on the web. This is where I saw it.

Kent Metschan · April 6th, 2005, 04:38 PM

I just tried it again to pick up a GL2 and it looks like it's over. You have to be fast on those coupon errors. Sometimes they come back during the day so check back.

Jim Sofranko · April 6th, 2005, 04:56 PM

What if you have it in your cart? Will they honor it the next day?

BTW-SlickDeals was very cool. Thanks.

Kent Metschan · April 6th, 2005, 05:00 PM

I'm not sure about that. I'm one of the few that got one and now I'm not sure if I want it. My wife's not too happy with the purchase. I've got to see if Dell will even let me cancel the order if I need to.

Check that site daily because there's always something great on it.

Allan Sargan · April 6th, 2005, 05:03 PM

Just checked it again and it still works. It was a total of $4021.07 (with IL tax, 3-5 day shipping was free).

I checked B&H, they have it for $4299.95.....OneCall has it for $4199.95...us1camera has it for $3795 (i never ordered from us1camera so i dont know if they are legit).

The DELL deal is good. It is still the lowest out there, but my drooling kinda subsided after I saw the other online prices.

Thanks for the heads up! I guess I'll be sticking with my XL1s a little longer. ;)

Kent Metschan · April 6th, 2005, 05:15 PM

I didn't know Canon was giving a rebate already on these. Crazy!!

I'm on the phone now with Dell who says they won't cancel my order. Looks like my original post did turn into a classified:

FOR SALE: New XL2, not even shipped for $4,058.57

It's supposed to ship on Friday.

I just tried it with the GL2 and it gave me the $699 discount, though their high price of $2800 only brings it down to $2100. With the $250 rebate, it's $1850. Competitive, but not something I'm going to drop everything for.

I am offering an inventory of video equipment.

I will not seperate packages such as the G4 Editing package. Everything that I have listed with it will be purchased. I have the original boxes for everything and the items are ready to be shipped. Email me for the list. There isn't enough room on the forum for it.

Dan Lahav · April 6th, 2005, 09:04 PM

These speakers are incredible and it saddens me to sell them...however due to financial issues I need the money right now. I received them as a gift and they must have been used for at most 2 hours. Comes with all speakers, cables, wires, etc. I'll sell for $275 shipped (sorry, but the sub weighs a TON). or $250 local to San Diego, CA. These are $350 shipped from newegg.com. If you're interested, send me an email.

99.9% of you know how wonderful these are, but for the others, read the personal reviews:

Hi Jim

Can you confirm:

PAL not NTSC
Body with viewfinder but no mic.
No mains unit, charger, batteries, etc.

Thanks

Chris

Jim Sofranko · April 7th, 2005, 06:59 AM

Yes PAL, not NTSC.

I will include a CA-900 single charger and a BP 945 battery. But the charger is US standard two prong, but 100-240v, 50-60Hz.

The Canon mic will be included as well but it has a small screw or something rolling around inside it. I never used it so I can't vouch for it's integrity.

Chris Pettit · April 7th, 2005, 07:13 AM

Thanks for the quick reply. I will e-mail you direct.
