Achievements vs Trophies, both have theyre pro's and con's but what exactly? lets compare

Trophies:

Different kind of trophies (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum) make collecting trophies even more fun.

A nice sound when you get a trophy (the sound when the window pops up saying you got a trophy)

Levels integrated into trophy system

Savegame's copied will NOT get you trophies, this makes the trophy collecting more fun and fair since you will actually have to play the game to get trophies, I saw savegames getting sold so you would get 1000G for the game.. that was horrible according to me.

EDIT: I found out Microsoft does not alow cheat savegames, they will reset your gamerscore and get a permanent cheater on your XBL gamertag.. Don't see why they just make it impossible to get Achievements by Savegames, it should be possible as PS3 has that.. anyway this makes the point of the cheat savegames alot less critical

Achievements:

Older multiplatform games might not have trophies while it does have achievements (COD4 for example), this is because trophies were not required back then.

easier to compare to friends: with achievements you get gamerscore, this gamerscore is just a number so its easy to compare who has a better score.

So those are the Pro's and Con's for each. If I missed anything please tell me so I can add it in.

So wich do you prefer (PS360 owners) and why?

I personally prefer Trophies! There is just more a sense of achievement with them

I prefer trophies, purely because I own a PS3 and not a 360 and have no experience with gamerscore.

Trophies get the job done well enough though. Yeh, the sound is nice. :D

i prefer achievements because they are better presented and some are very dificult to take.and off topic can someone tell me how can i make a new topic of my own because iam new here and i can not find it?

I feel that trophies are a better system, I like that you can show off a platinum for beating a game, even if you didn't buy the add-ons.

Then again, all I've ever experienced is trophies. Maybe there is something to Achievements that you can't really explain.

Well I think the lack of achievements on older games sucks but bronze, silver etc trophies are much better then achievements with different amounts of gamerscore IMO and cheatsaves are something Microsoft should make impossible ASAP

Really, they're much of a muchness. Sure, many of us will have a preference, but I imagine for most it will be based on the first console they purchased rather than anything else.

Trophies are better (tiered system > random growing number) but Achievements are implemented better (in every game, quicker to load up).

the sound when you get a trophies is orgasmic, or maybe that's just for me

I don't really see one being better than the other. Its actually kinda annoying for me because my trophies/acheivements are spread over 3 different platofirms (PSN, Live & Steam) so I'm low level/low score on each one, but collectively I'd be insanely high.
