Were you really expecting anything different? I know I wasn't.

But the amount of information they are requiring is very typical and common. It's not something to be alarmed over if you've ever signed up for a contest they've required the same information.
Actually, I have signed up for things before. And I'm a probably a good bit older
than most of you. I think if you think through your answer about lying, etc.,
you will realize that it would be pretty stupid to lie and what would be the point?
To claim your prize, you're likely to have to provide identification.
And that would be the correct time to have to give your information, not
when you enter
the contest. And, you do know that Alienware is now owned by Dell, right?
Of course, Dell would never want your info for anything....
