God, I registered just to say this guy is the biggest fucking moron I have ever seen. OPEN THE FUCKING BOX. I can not believe you took 10 fucking minutes to open a box, then were so AMAZED by the cardboard. Get over it.

The pet alone can fetch you a pretty penny. I remember seeing Murky cards selling for $800+ on eBay following that BlizzCon. While this pet might not be quite as kickass, toss in the chance to get in on a Blizzard beta and you've got a pretty nice slice off the price of that laptop.

On an unrelated note, the only thing more awesome than Murky would be a mage-exclusive unicorn mount. The Outland version can have spectral wings. Hey, it's only fair that I get a class-exclusive mount too, and to make up for it, a class-exclusive flying mount with it...

@disposableinterloper:

Though I sort of wonder how much I could actually get the system for if i chop shop the package.

I already have the 2 CE's so I could sell that upgrade. I could sell the art books and strategy guide but only for a few books. since everything was already in the CEs.

I bet the beta card also has either a murky or the costume on it.

I'd sell the figure gift cert.

If i'm lucky with the tcg packs might be able to get 20-60 bucks if you get one or two of the scratch cards.

Of course this would probably only knock off 500-600 on the price.

Its still too pricy for me. Especially since I bought an e1705 last year. Oh well.

Maybe if they had a cheaper desktop special edition.

@godai:

I love pets too. Heck, if I found out I got an exclusive pet, I'd also be going on about it. I'd probably cream myself on the spot if it'd be Murky.

That said, forget Kara. Hell, forget all of the Outland instances, and everything down to and below URBS. I doubt he's ever done Mara, or even SM. Hell, I bet WC and VC would be pushing it.

Didn't you hear him going on about pets?

I bet he hasn't stepped into Kara let along BT.

But yeah, what does it say about a reviewer is supposidly a fan and can't recognize the most hyped character of the expansion.

Arthas!? Arthas!? Or, "any number of different characters," as he put it?

That poster had Illidan Stormrage on it! Illidan the Betrayer! ILLIDAN! Y'know, the Night Elf demon hunter who absorbed the Fel magic of the Skull of Gul'dan, thereby becoming a demon? Brother of Malfurion Stormrage? The ruler of the Black Temple, lording over both Lady Vashj's Naga and Kael'thas Sunstrider's Blood Elves?

And this guy thinks it's Arthas?

GHAA! WTF kind of unboxing is this? Why didn't Dell get an enthusiastic Blizzard fanboy instead of this boring, monotonous drone?

Headfoot — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 20:15:56 EST

This would be sweet! Nice to have it all in one little package.
Although DirectX10 SLI-Enabled graphics and 512mb is just vague enough to not tell me what card(s)? they are. What is it? Is 2 cards, or just "enabled" for 2 cards?

My main issue is you could buy this whole set up, except a little faster, for less than half if you just NewEgg'd the parts and put together a desktop.

The whole package that comes with the laptop seems tempting.

But those 3 videos... I just couldn't handle it. This is not the fucking second comming of Jesus Christ damn it.

It's just a laptop with a game on it. That's it. Repeat after me.

Does anyone know if there is or will be an upgrade or expansion for Diablo 11? I like the game and have tried most Characters. I am playing Barbarian now with two swords and he give a good kicking.

Now three of my four girlfriends would absolutely go crazy for this. My fourth doesn't really enjoy computers but I think she'd at least appreciate the aesthetic appeal of it.

I've got to say, it's kind of funny that at the beginning he seems to take a dig at another unnamed company for spending too much time on packaging/etc. and then for the rest of the video proceeds to gush over every aspect of the packaging of this machine. It seems like he would come to the realization that "hey, maybe there is a reason that some companies are now focusing on doing nice packaging/etc.".
