What a lot of people posting here don't seem to get, is that these computers are luxury items. Gaming is not a basic necessity. Nobody needs a jaccuzzi, when they have a perfectly good bathtub. People buy these for the prestige of owning something that the average person can
only dream of.
If these prices are such an overwhelming issue, then maybe this isn't an item that you should be purchasing in the first place. There is no shame in settling for whatever you can afford. If it soothes you to convince yourself that it is just as good or better as a a top of the line notebook, than go right ahead. But nobody else is going to believe it. After all, you can get to work in a Honda, but wouldn't you rather be driving a Lamberghini? H*** yeah! Just because both of them have four wheels and an engine, it doesn't mean that they are the same in any but the broadest of definitions. For better or worse, your possessions are a reflection of how the world sees you as a person and most people I know want to be seen as a star.
When I buy something I expect it to be a finished product, not something that I will have to keep upgrading, until it finally becomes the machine that I wanted in the first place. By the time that happens, the technology will be outdated again anyway. I use computers a lot, but personally don't know that much about putting them together and I don't want really want to learn just to save a few bucks. There may be a few do-it-yourselfers who could possibly replicate these machines and kudos to them. As for me, I will gladly pay an expert to do all of the "dirty" work, so I can get right down to using it for it's intended purpose - Play.
This review gave me a lot of food for thought. I wish that more companies had participated, but this gives me a good place to start looking for my next notebook.

Also, it's amusing that 24fps in a game is 'unplayable'. Don't you guys remember the days of DOS where 24fps was the norm and 12fps was more than enough to play? Your gaming routes are long gone.
