== Actual effects of reformatting == | |||
I don't have a PS3, so I'm kind of asking someone more knowledgeable to ramble about this in the article: How much did the reformatting actually affect Chris? I thought the worst that happened to him was that he lost his savegames and LBP/MN stuff he hadn't uploaded yet, and he could just re-download the purchases and the mod content he had uploaded to the servers. Another thing: What about the older HDs? Would he have had a chance to recover some of his stuff from there, or does the data-transfer process wipe the old stuff? (I don't see why it ''should'' do a crazy thing like that, but hey, consoles are weird sometimes.) --''[[User:Wwwwolf|wwwwolf]]'' <span style="font-size:smaller;">([[User talk:Wwwwolf|wake me when you need me]])</span> 00:55, 31 August 2010 (PDT) | |||
:Yes, purchased content could easily be redownloaded and anything he uploaded to the network would still be there. To my knowledge, upgrading the hard drive does not require you to wipe the old one, but I've never done it so I don't know for sure. If his older data was still on the HDs, it sure isn't now. --[[User:T K 19|T K 19]] 09:33, 31 August 2010 (PDT) | |||

:Do you know what he's doing with the rest of the $9001? --[[User:Anaconda|Anaconda]] 12:48, 2 September 2010 (PDT) | |||
== lolWUT == | |||
The current revision of the article as I speak has this oddity: | |||
<blockquote>"It was revealed through a series of e-mails that Chris had destroyed his beloved Life Upgrade in an attempt to cash in on a troll reward. However, to the surprise of none, he didn't think through this idea more, not even realizing that he had destroyed an item that could have netted him a lot more than the prize he sought." | |||
</blockquote> | |||
The PS3 and games cost Chris somewhere in the vicinity of $3500, a fact that is mentioned in a lot of places on this site. $3500 is just a little over half of the troll prize ($9001). Resale value for games is never a matter of making profit, it's about breaking even. You're not going to see $3500 again, especially not with a used PS3 and Chris's relatively small stack of used games. It's a miracle to make back your investment. | |||
Even on eBay, you're only going to profit if you have the latest and greatest console during the first month of the launch and said console can't easily be found in stores. Even that has it's limits though usually only a couple hundred more than retail. The only way you can truly profit in the above-$5000 range is if you sell your whole game library (which obviously needs to be massive) or if you have a rarity like an RDI Halcyon prototype or a NeoGeo AES with a sizable stack of games. | |||
I read the email, and nothing was mentioned about another reward for the intact PS3, much less a $9K< reward so what kind of acidcrack was the revision writer on suggesting you could get bookoo (buukuu? beaucoup?) money for Chris's PS3? [[User:Cadpig|- Cadpig]] 15:18, 3 September 2010 (PDT) | |||
: $3500 is a little over a ''third'' of $9001 last time I checked. [[User:Smokedaddy|Smokedaddy]] 02:27, 4 September 2010 (PDT) | |||
: I'm fairly certain that the intention was to get him to destroy his PS3 since he's a greedy sumbitch. - [[User:Captainhowdy|Captainhowdy]] 15:23, 3 September 2010 (PDT) | |||
:: Captainhowdy? Try Captainobvious, or maybe even NoShitSherlock.¬_¬ Some editor said that Chris could have made more money with an intact PS3, which is bullshit. If it was just a false statement to troll Chris further, what good did it do? He doesn't read the CWCki religiously, he'll never know! I'm just bitching about stupid shit, I'd remove it myself but you never know what needs to stay and what needs to go article-wise when it comes to this place. We all know the intent of the trolls, I'm just pointing out a blatant research failure one of them made. [[User:Cadpig|- Cadpig]] 15:29, 3 September 2010 (PDT) | |||
::: The reason that shit was put in is because there was a troll reward for $9001 dollars that Chris was trying to cash in on. Just like it says in the article. It has nothing to do with selling anything. [[User:Freecell|Freecell]] 15:39, 3 September 2010 (PDT) | |||
:::: Goddamn, dude, NO SHIT. Do you see the last line in the quoted section? WTF is it there for? IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TROLL! THAT'S WHY I WENT ON A TANGENT! I would delete it, but you never know article standards here, if that terrible "ghettogangsta nigga" style coffee-place siting article can't be deleted, who knows about this? Shit man, read the quoted section above, see if you can clarify it. Because both of you have done jack shit in that area so far. If I can't get a reason as to why it's there by tomorrow, I'm going to quit fucking around and delete it myself. Shit. [[User:Cadpig|- Cadpig]] 15:45, 3 September 2010 (PDT) | |||
::::: Herp derp, im not a troll derp. I read what you wrote and it's a valid point. The sensible thing to do would be to edit it out and say why in the summary, not rant on the talk page and make someone else fix it. Make it so. [[User:Freecell|Freecell]] 15:47, 3 September 2010 (PDT) | |||

:::::: My bad, I get what you're saying. I was just unsure of what we can and can't edit (Clyde threw down the hammer when it came to that dude wanting to edit that terribly-written coffee place article). I'mma deleting it now. Sorry I flew off the handle, it was slow-in-the-mind of me. We can delete this whole thread if you want. EDIT: I like what you did. Good job. Y'know it's too bad Clyde doesn't really have $9001, he could give it to Cogs so CWCki would have a server that doesn't crash more than a narcoleptic.[[User:Cadpig|- Cadpig]] 15:54, 3 September 2010 (PDT) | |||

Work on it, I want a detailed history of his entire play history by the time I wake up. Check his trophies page and you'll see what trophies he earned when. You'll usually see a chain within a reasonable amount of time together. This is how you determine how often vidya.

I know ''some'' sites use PSN gameplay data (and XBL gameplay data, too), so it's clearly not impossible. If there's ''some'' way to retrieve Chris's trophy data in some sort of a machine-parseable format, I definitely could do some analysis scripts and stuff (like I did with comics). --''[[User:Wwwwolf|wwwwolf]]'' <span style="font-size:smaller;">([[User talk:Wwwwolf|wake me when you need me]])</span> 06:32, 30 September 2010 (PDT) | |||

* Doubtful. He's never really played any multiplayer games (except for modnation racers) so the fact that the network's down isn't going to hinder his vidya time at all...

:::::::Well, people on Kotaku have been reporting fraudulent charges on their cards after this little incident, but I don't know how credible those reports are, though what I'm more interested in is if Chris will continue his blatant fanboyism of the PS3 after this, but I think we all know the answer to that. --[[User:KHSilverRock|KHSilverRock]] 07:40, 30 April 2011 (PDT) | |||

To do
- Chris's fanboy faggotry with PS3 (ultimate life upgrade, etc.)
- Make available a log of his PSN purchases.
- Make reference to credit card theft.
Is there a way to look up Playstation Network stats (e.g. trophies) while not on the PSN? Ensign disposable 01:50, 17 July 2009 (CEST)
- The folks at /_cwc/ hinted that nowadays we can. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 15:30, 11 September 2009 (CEST)

- stats: total $2485.89 (dlc only not including hardware/software/game discs/umds...etc...chris's list of games for that info...so...)

yeah. Clydec 10:21, 20 October 2009 (CEST)
I've got to say something
...he does have a ton of 100%s here, which does make me sorta little bit hexbox-green with envy. Though most of them seem to be from games with only a few trophies (closer to the 200-gamerscore arcade games in XBL). And a few of these look like pretty simple games. But still, surprisingly many, considering the fact that just a few months ago there were three games in the list with 100%.
Sincerely, just a random guy in the last stages of of grinding his way to 1200 G in Mass Effect, --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 20:07, 2 December 2009 (CET)
- I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Considering his..."performance" in the various Youtube videos of him playing Soul Calibur or Little Big Planet, I sincerely doubt he actually platinum'ed anything himself. More likely, he just downloaded a save file from GameFAQs (or wherever). -Schismtracer 23:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Friend Limit MAXIMUM!
Chris' friend limit is at the max on his PSN account. Does he have another one so he can still stay in contact with his 'fans'? Also, how do I get his LPB levels HOW DID I GET HERE OH GOD I AM NO GOOD WITH COMPUTER
- The only way I know is to go on LittleBigPlanet and search Sonichu and you're guaranteed to find his levels. And don't forget to do your signature, btw. It's one of those buttons in the middle of the set right on top of this box. --CWCAttack 04:10, 3 January 2010 (CET)
I've gotta be honest
I was expecting a NOGAEMS joke somewhere in the article. Dann Woolf 20:07, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm sure he had a fat one but knowing Chris, he probably bought the slim too. If he does indeed use the fat one, was he not affected by the PSN clock death thing that happened recently? Dave

- Yes, purchased content could easily be redownloaded and anything he uploaded to the network would still be there. To my knowledge, upgrading the hard drive does not require you to wipe the old one, but I've never done it so I don't know for sure. If his older data was still on the HDs, it sure isn't now. --T K 19 09:33, 31 August 2010 (PDT)
Yes he has a new one

The current revision of the article as I speak has this oddity:
"It was revealed through a series of e-mails that Chris had destroyed his beloved Life Upgrade in an attempt to cash in on a troll reward. However, to the surprise of none, he didn't think through this idea more, not even realizing that he had destroyed an item that could have netted him a lot more than the prize he sought."
The PS3 and games cost Chris somewhere in the vicinity of $3500, a fact that is mentioned in a lot of places on this site. $3500 is just a little over half of the troll prize ($9001). Resale value for games is never a matter of making profit, it's about breaking even. You're not going to see $3500 again, especially not with a used PS3 and Chris's relatively small stack of used games. It's a miracle to make back your investment.
Even on eBay, you're only going to profit if you have the latest and greatest console during the first month of the launch and said console can't easily be found in stores. Even that has it's limits though usually only a couple hundred more than retail. The only way you can truly profit in the above-$5000 range is if you sell your whole game library (which obviously needs to be massive) or if you have a rarity like an RDI Halcyon prototype or a NeoGeo AES with a sizable stack of games.
I read the email, and nothing was mentioned about another reward for the intact PS3, much less a $9K< reward so what kind of acidcrack was the revision writer on suggesting you could get bookoo (buukuu? beaucoup?) money for Chris's PS3? - Cadpig 15:18, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
- $3500 is a little over a third of $9001 last time I checked. Smokedaddy 02:27, 4 September 2010 (PDT)
- I'm fairly certain that the intention was to get him to destroy his PS3 since he's a greedy sumbitch. - Captainhowdy 15:23, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
- Captainhowdy? Try Captainobvious, or maybe even NoShitSherlock.¬_¬ Some editor said that Chris could have made more money with an intact PS3, which is bullshit. If it was just a false statement to troll Chris further, what good did it do? He doesn't read the CWCki religiously, he'll never know! I'm just bitching about stupid shit, I'd remove it myself but you never know what needs to stay and what needs to go article-wise when it comes to this place. We all know the intent of the trolls, I'm just pointing out a blatant research failure one of them made. - Cadpig 15:29, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
- The reason that shit was put in is because there was a troll reward for $9001 dollars that Chris was trying to cash in on. Just like it says in the article. It has nothing to do with selling anything. Freecell 15:39, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
- Goddamn, dude, NO SHIT. Do you see the last line in the quoted section? WTF is it there for? IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TROLL! THAT'S WHY I WENT ON A TANGENT! I would delete it, but you never know article standards here, if that terrible "ghettogangsta nigga" style coffee-place siting article can't be deleted, who knows about this? Shit man, read the quoted section above, see if you can clarify it. Because both of you have done jack shit in that area so far. If I can't get a reason as to why it's there by tomorrow, I'm going to quit fucking around and delete it myself. Shit. - Cadpig 15:45, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
- Herp derp, im not a troll derp. I read what you wrote and it's a valid point. The sensible thing to do would be to edit it out and say why in the summary, not rant on the talk page and make someone else fix it. Make it so. Freecell 15:47, 3 September 2010 (PDT)

- My bad, I get what you're saying. I was just unsure of what we can and can't edit (Clyde threw down the hammer when it came to that dude wanting to edit that terribly-written coffee place article). I'mma deleting it now. Sorry I flew off the handle, it was slow-in-the-mind of me. We can delete this whole thread if you want. EDIT: I like what you did. Good job. Y'know it's too bad Clyde doesn't really have $9001, he could give it to Cogs so CWCki would have a server that doesn't crash more than a narcoleptic.- Cadpig 15:54, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
- Don't worry about it, shit happens. If Clyde were to flip shit for no reason, he wouldn't be a mod for long. As long as you can justify your edits, they will stay. Freecell 15:58, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
- It astonishes me how many people don't understand the value of the Coffee Place article or its submitter. It's a fine piece of fieldwork from one of our best trolls. And it should be extremely obvious from even a cursory reading why. Sygerrik 16:36, 3 September 2010 (PDT)

- I would like to point out that 1) I was the guy who wrote that part, 2) I probably misread that part of the e-mail when I did read it and 3) was bitching about something that didn't look right really necessary? Seriously, man, it's an error. I'll go correct it.--Blazer 23:56, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
- 1) Cool story, bro. 2) Nice, bro. 3) "Should we really point out the errors in our articles?" Well yeah. He didn't do it the way we normally do, but that doesn't make his point invalid. Freecell 05:11, 4 September 2010 (PDT)

Date bought
If it says 2007, then he's not lying. PS3 was released in late 06 in America. Hell, it was even out in Yoorup by March. So only the blurb that he played Sonic in 1990 is untrue. --AlfredNTheFettuc 13:19, 5 September 2010 (PDT)
PS3 Time Tracker
Work on it, I want a detailed history of his entire play history by the time I wake up. Check his trophies page and you'll see what trophies he earned when. You'll usually see a chain within a reasonable amount of time together. This is how you determine how often vidya. It's not accurate by any means considering not all time is dedicated towards trophies and some games don't even have them...so...Clydec 00:59, 30 September 2010 (PDT)
- Does anyone know if there's some sort of an API for PSN trophy data? A fan horde hath whined and someone has apparently coded something on their spare time, but no way I'm registering to some website to download some code in case it turns out to be some malfunctioning screenscraping rubbish. I know some sites use PSN gameplay data (and XBL gameplay data, too), so it's clearly not impossible. If there's some way to retrieve Chris's trophy data in some sort of a machine-parseable format, I definitely could do some analysis scripts and stuff (like I did with comics). --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 06:32, 30 September 2010 (PDT)
- ETA: "UPDATE: Since the recent layout change on the playstation site, the class has been broken. I will try and get it back up ASAP." Social console my ass. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 06:34, 30 September 2010 (PDT)
PSN Tracker
I don't know if this the right place to ask, but I managed to get Chris on my friends list a few weeks ago, and I'd like to contribute to the PSN Tracker. Is there a place I can edit it and do I need to get approval for it? Dillon627 20:03, 16 February 2011 (PST)
PSN down
do you think chris might start doing interesting things again, now that the PSN is down? i suppose he can still play games offline, though... --Torako 06:55, 27 April 2011 (PDT)
- Doubtful. He's never really played any multiplayer games (except for modnation racers) so the fact that the network's down isn't going to hinder his vidya time at all... Though it will prohibit him from blowing his money on DLC --SargentPickles 08:03, 27 April 2011 (PDT)
- i thought LBP was at least sort of online, too... --Torako 12:39, 27 April 2011 (PDT)
- It is, sort of. He an still play through the single-player campaign and make levels, but most of the game is unavailable until the PSN is back up. --T K 19 13:40, 27 April 2011 (PDT)
- i suppose my point is that maybe he'll get bored of not being able to get DLC and such. --Torako 13:53, 27 April 2011 (PDT)
- The PSN has been hacked, and knowing Chris, his credit cards and who knows what other info of his has more then likely been as well. --KHSilverRock 17:14, 28 April 2011 (PDT)
- According to a CNN article I read, the credit card security numbers weren't stolen, so Chris's cards should be safe for now. His only real problem would be if he used the same password for PSN that he uses on other sites, because hackers could use that info. --T K 19 17:52, 28 April 2011 (PDT)
- Well, people on Kotaku have been reporting fraudulent charges on their cards after this little incident, but I don't know how credible those reports are, though what I'm more interested in is if Chris will continue his blatant fanboyism of the PS3 after this, but I think we all know the answer to that. --KHSilverRock 07:40, 30 April 2011 (PDT)
What other websites? It's PS3's all the way down. --[[User:Ronichu|Ronichu] 18:14, 28 April 2011 (PDT)
PS4
It's strange that there's no mention of the PS4. Or are we waiting for some news about him talking about it? Supyloco 00:49, 4 May 2013 (PDT)
Move to "PlayStation 3"
I think this page should be moved to "PlayStation 3". After all, it's the full name of the console. Letter Z (talk) 16:01, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Title needs to be "PlayStation 3"
The reason is because it's the full titles and wikis are supposed have an article title be the full title of a subject. Letter Z (talk) 02:52, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
