Chris doesn't understand the value of money. This is well-known, but nowhere is it better illustrated than in the log of his PlayStation Network game downloads.
Acquired by Clyde Cash and other trolls, the data show that Chris has spent in the vicinity of $3,400 (as of late February 2010) on videos, game content, and other purchases through the PSN. His video downloads are catalogued elsewhere. This list attempts to catalog the games and game "upgrades" Chris has bought so far.
Many of his spending decisions boggle the mind. He has, for instance, spent around $35 on nothing but furniture and character clothing for PlayStation Home, Sony's Second Life knockoff. Nearly $30 has gone towards new characters and ball designs for High Velocity Bowling, even though his trophy showcase indicates that he hasn't bothered to play the game. On the Soul Calibur IV front, he bought weapon packs, content he could have unlocked on his own had he bothered to play the game at all. The most ridiculous part of his SCIV purchases is that he bought the Yoda character; one can easily see why Hex-Box owners are eager to purchase Darth Vader, but purchasing Yoda for PS3 is pure unadulterated fraternization with The Enemy. Finally, the bill for his Guitar Hero downloads, of course, hardly bears thinking about.
