Is the price good?
Dell’s comparison figure is an “Estimated Value”, which Dell defines as its estimate based on third-party retailer prices in its most recent survey. It is not a price Dell charged, so the 8% figure overstates the savings from Dell’s own previous price. The configuration is $4,369.99 today, a $380.00 difference from that estimate.
832 reviews averaging 4.5/5 gives the rating some weight, though Dell reviews cover the whole product family, not only this exact configuration.
Dell lists these extras on the page – Get 25 XBOX games with purchase (a $500 value). Enjoy games from every era of XBOX. 25 XBOX games included with purchase (a $500 value).
