    Buy a plane ticket to Japan and ask Yoshida for an invite in person. It's only around $900.

    Can't speak Japanese? Hire a private interpreter for ~$200 for the first hour and ~$50 for each additional hour.

    As long as you're down there for a week, you can stay at the lovely Shibuya Granbell Hotel for six nights at ~$1500 in a premier double. (What kind of plebeian settles for a single?)

    Of course, you should treat our favorite producer and director to a coffee while you solicit alpha access. I don't know anything about coffee shops and cafes in Tokyo, so play it safe and go to a Starbucks. $10 for both of you (add 5 for the interpreter).

    Putting aside another $500 for food, local travel, tipping, impulse purchases and other expenditures, you're looking at $3110 alpha price tag.

    In order to get the most out of the alpha, you could buy a 60" Samsung LED Smart HDTV and a self-built PC that can run Crysis on max settings at 1900x1200--no, I'm not going computer shopping for you.

    Oh look. That's just over $7000. Well, what do you know.

    I think i spent about 1300 myself, minus OS sense I already had it from a previous build. I say if you got money to just burn up mid-as-well do crazy stuff like this. Also don't forget to pickup some legendary gear/weapons off diablo III while your at it.

    Oh also I don't know if you care, but you can easily discern your license plate from the reflection in the picture.

    Yeah, I came here first thinking people were wondering how he spent 7k on a computer, and I was going to post that it is easy to do so. But if he bought an alienware? Wow, he could have saved a ton just doing it himself.

    Two Xeons run 4k, it is easy to hit the 8k+ mark with a couple of those.

    I can build a system worth 12 grand, so it is very easy to hit the mark, and I don't mind that he spent the money on the computer. He has the money, do what you want with it, but don't buy Alienware, geez, it is an embarrassment.

    Hey I'm fine that you got what you wanted, and that you are happy with it. But I will say, please put some money into getting a monitor stand, it really does improve the experience. Also, a little bit too much red.

    I'm sure some people think alienware is somehow better than other computers lol. But they're really just paying that much for the case. I would be embarassed to have one too! I'll never buy a pre-built desktop ever again! Considering all the money I would save I said screw it and just attempted to put it together myself and it was easier than I thought. If you can read directions carefully and use a screwdriver you can do it. Don't be scared people. Save that money.

    The manual that came with the motherboard tells you everything and I also used the newegg tutorial videos for help. Easy peasy.
