When many have seem my pick-ups for each month, they probably noticed there are PSN cards in just about every pick-up blog. So just how many do I have:

Since July 2009, I have bought all of these.


Before 2009, I bought all these:


In case many of you didn’t know, I was one of the first people online to buy a U.S. PSN Card. My story was on PS3 Fanboy, Kotaku, N4G, and many other sites. The picture of Meijer carrying them was taken by my cell phone. I also blogged the story and explained all the issues with the early PSN Cards (which have been solved now).

Anyway, when you run the total, the first picture is $990 worth of PSN cards (not including the $40 PSP games each), then $240 worth of PSN cards in the second picture. There are some PSN cards and CC purchases (before PSN cards) not accounted for. Regardless, that's definitely a lot of money spent on PSN. I did buy a bunch of full version PSP games, PSN games for PS3 and/or PSP. Did not buy any movies with the money. So if people wonder just how large my download list currently is.....

I cannot tell you how many PSN game purchases I made (easily over 60). I also purchased tons of SingStar songs not on the main download list.

Some may wonder why I buy so many PSN cards? I just rather purchase them then use a CC, because it seems more like I somewhat own a copy of my downloads (having a PSN card). I sometimes use a CC to buy a PSN card at Target. I'll admit I do not play my PSN downloads anywhere near as much as my retail games, but its tough to resist the urge to buy cheap games.

Anyone else feel they spent a crazy amount of money on downloads? When compared to XBLA and the Wii Shop Channel, I'd roughly say I spent $120-$140 on XBL Marketplace, and around the same on the Wii Shop Channel for VC and WiiWare games.
