"Most of the time, when buying a complete system, you will get rebates, or printers, or some other incentive. One recent incentive is the $400 rebate for signing up with MSN internet access. What this boils down to is a 3-year commitment at $21.95 a month. Not to mention that you are paying for something that should be free. You are getting scammed. In no way does $800 over 3 years justify a measly $400 rebate. Remember when buying a computer, be smart, take your time, research, and if it sounds too good to be true, it is."
