Go for XPS 15. Alienware 11 does not have a dvd drive so you'll have to buy one. Gfx is same on both. You'll be able to plat Crysis 2 on mid settings and maybe witcher on low settings.

If you plan to look outside dell try HP 6017tx or 6121tx. Comes with GDDR5 Gfx. It is a much faster card than GT540m in Alienware or XPS15. Price 53k

XPS 15, although the GT525M is hardly anything in gaming, it's still "okay" to play. GT540M is an overclocked GT525M, the next step is the GT555M

What price did you get the lappy? And how's the gaming experience on the HD6770M?

If gaming is all you want alienware is good enough for you. But if you want portability with it go for xps. 15z is also good. Also have a look at macbook pro 15inch 2011 edition. Alienware is huge and power hungry but very fast. Also it has only 2hrs of battery life when gaming at max. Good luck. Also dont forget to opt for accidental cover policy for dell. Mac dont have it which is a shame.....
