 * It's just for Best Buy's internal stock system. It stands for Stock Keeping Unit. Since the free PSN cards seem to have different barcodes/item numbers, they class the free $10 cards as a "Child" of the normal chargeable ones - which means they are linked to each other for stock tracking purposes. --Anonymax 18:29, 22 September 2010 (PDT)
 * The $0.00 PSN cards are the activation codes being used, not free cards. --Anonymax 18:46, 22 September 2010 (PDT)
 * I mentioned that in IRC, but I based it off my experience at Staples. Can anyone confirm that? BigDan 20:17, 22 September 2010 (PDT)
 * Trust me, it makes a whole lot more sense than Chris getting freebies. --Anonymax 20:19, 22 September 2010 (PDT)

I added the total
He spent $564.72 on bestbuy shit so far on the year of 2009, you can double check SurfShackTito 20:25, 22 September 2010 (PDT)
 * Works for me, and if I got all the numbers right in the purchase list - the total for everything is $1041.66. Pretty much done for now on this, got most of the stuff sorted. --Anonymax 22:24, 22 September 2010 (PDT)

Just Noticed Something
Out of silly curiosity, I totaled up how many dollars Chris spent on those PSN cards. Up until March, it was a surprising 200 dollars. Compared to the 3400+ he spent on the PSN altogether, that's under a tenth of his purchases. Which begs the question: why bother? As you can see, Chris has the credit card power to purchase stuff off of PSN, so why would he go through the trouble of getting PSN cards?--Blazer 20:42, 22 September 2010 (PDT)
 * Don't those things have store mark-up and sales tax too? --Xanabit 20:48, 22 September 2010 (PDT)
 * No. $10 cards cost $10 and give $10 of credit. Extra tax may apply in some states. Chris probably maxxed out his credit cards that were linked to his PSN account, or he was also buying cards from other stores. --Anonymax 22:22, 22 September 2010 (PDT)

Gas Chris Wasted
Technically, doesn't his mother pay for his gas? I know he admitted this in a mumble chat, so shouldn't the title actually be "Gas Chris made his mother pay for"? --SargentPickles 05:39, 23 September 2010 (PDT)
 * Eh, his mother may have funded it - but it was Chris who actually drove his car to waste it. We might perhaps reword the label for the total he spent, but the section heading seems pretty apt I think. To be honest, if Barb is paying for his gas - she should know he's pretty much going to waste all of it anyway. --Anonymax 08:22, 23 September 2010 (PDT)
 * Point taken --SargentPickles 12:08, 23 September 2010 (PDT)
