Outrageous Dell options pricing!!!

I recently bought a XPS M1330 during the first 10% off happy hour sale. (Great by the way). Anyhow, when I bought it the 9-cell battery was a $36 dollar add-on. Out of curiosity I went to the configuration page to see if they had added anything new and noticed the 9-cell battery is now a whopping $235 option.

Anyone else noticed any weird pricing? Is dell serious, who in their right mind would pay $235 dollars for a bigger batter?

See it for yourself, go to:

then click "build yours with windows vista" and then scroll down to "Batteries".

  • Indeed. Perhaps that would be a mistake? Though there is a battery shortage.

  • Dell sometimes does have weird pricing, Often this is to our advantage, when it comes to bundled pricing, but in this case it seems like they have erred the other way.
