Are you in college? They normally offer it for around $100 or less.

I just bought a full version (not an upgrade) of XP Pro for about $90 from a seller I found via pricegrabber.com.

As I understand it, the upgrade coupon will only work if you buy a PC with XP preloaded. Newegg.com isn't quite telling the truth...

You may have already tried this, but have you checked with your school bookstore/education software vendor? My college offers XP + service pack 2 for $10.
