To keep their customers happy, they should just have Dell Reps go to Best Buy, buy them out at $299 each and ship them to you guys. I gave up and cancelled my order a while ago. I think I'm going to stick it out for the DV version.
I was at my local Best Buy last night and the shelves where plum full with Radeon 8500s. Too bad Best Buy wouldn't have price-matched Dell's website.
Good luck to you all! I bet it'll make a great stocking stuffer.
