Am I being a nit?

Note: This assumes that you and your roommate did not negotiate who was going to buy the TV before coming to school. If you had said "I'll buy the TV, you can contribute other stuff like food," then you are correct about his paying extra for things. However, if this was the case, then you are partners, and thus have equal say to the TV's usage.

I had already bought the TV/Xbox and was going to bring them for myself anyway, so it didn't make sense for him to buy the same things. Before coming down, I asked for him to contribute the rest of the stuff since my part is obviously more expensive than anything else we have. The only thing he brought down that we currently share is a crappy fridge.
