Almost 10 yrs ago Bethesda tried to charge $2.50 for horse armor. Gamers lost their minds ( rightly so, btw). Today Bungie wants to charge $5.00 for "The Carlton", and gamers shrug and say "Ok", while others gleefully rush to their piggy banks. Conditioning is great isn't it? Bungie thinks so.
The problem that Alienware has always had, is their insistence on proprietary hardware, and their refusal to provide BIOS updates. Upgrading is always going to be a limited proposition for Alienware. If you have the money to completely replace your gaming PC every few years, then Alienware is for you. But if you have basic mechanical aptitude, and want something that can be regularly upgraded over a long period of time, then you should probably go elsewhere.
