Okay let's look at this from a practical point of view. Anyone who takes the girl/guy over the Internet is shooting themselves in the foot. Remember that you're going to be stuck with the other person for 10 years. Cabin fever will inevitably set in, and you two will both want out due to not being able to take being near each other 24/7 for the 500th day.
Internet + State of the art computer are core here. Why? It doesn't say there's a bandwidth limit. This means the Internet coupled with a state of the the art computer will pretty much be all of the following:
All consoles (5 pts)
All video games (4 pts)
TV + all cable channels (7 pts)
All movies + TV shows (4 pts)
Surround sound system + all recorded music (4 pts)
Cell phone (3 pts)
Library (4 pts)
For 18 points, you're getting up to another 31 points worth of features for free. It's incredibly efficient.
Moving onto other stuff that I'd take:
-Full kitchen. Good way to learn how to cook even better. Besides, it'll help pass the 10 years a lot quicker if I got more stuff to keep me occupied. Can also substitute fruit juice since I can just make my own. (6 pts)
-Hygiene products. Can't really stay dirty all those years. (3 pts)
-Medical care. Can't be too sure I'd remain healthy after all those years all on my own. (2 pts)
-Workshop. Help to immensely pass the time, plus anything I make I get to keep. (2 pts)
I'd end up with 31 points, and I'll emerge in those 10 years with $9m to squirrel away.
