I thought you were exaggerating but I calculated the cost of it... Damn, you're right.
That's really what it comes down to, Luxuries cost less, Necessities cost more
A computer is also an incredibly cost efficient luxury in the long run, You spend a decent amount on it once and then you're good for essentially endless free content for at least a decade, maybe 5 years minnimum if you have to have the latest and greatest hardware.
Edit: Quick maths for building a new PC every 5 years with flagship (though not Halo stuff like 90 series) hardware works out about 10 eurodolarpounds a week.
