Have I been ripped off?

I got the Dell XPS M1530 for xmas. I got the £649 package, which is ment to include the NVIDIA 8600M video card. However, I was looking around and found that my system only has the NVIDIA 8400M. So I want to know why it doesn't have this video card. Heres some screenshots to prove it:

    What does your invoice say? If it shows different than what you received, I'd call and request it be replaced with what you paid for.

    You certainly didn't get what you ordered, BUT bear in mind both 8600 and 8400 chips are all faulty.

    Nvidia themselves recommend not buying those chips.
