I don't know if that deal is still in effect, although no Alienware products appear to be "findable" in Best Buy's online catalog.<br /> <br /> In any case, I doubt a single retail store would put the kibosh on a deal like that: after all, Best Buy, CompUSA, and other chains sell Macs, and Apple has a number of successful retail stores of its own in high-end locations worldwide. Of course, independent Apple dealers haven't necessarily been very happy about the Apple Stores....<br /> Alienware inked a deal with Best Buy in 2002.
