^Noticed I didn't say anything about the XMB . That should have been the patch and trophies added later when they had more support.

Don't get me wrong, I know that the games in the future are going to support them, however, this year is not going to have very many games with trophies in them.
Sony as a company is putting an awful lot of faith in people being willing to wait it out and not get disappointed while they do. It always seems as if they are asking us to "wait we're going to get better" and then we wait, and wait some more.

EDIT: MAy 30th is when 2.4 went live. 3 weeks at the least.

 

WTH????!!!!! MAY 30?? what world do you live in? It went live on July 2, then got withdrawn, then came back on July 8. (Ever hear of an obscure little website called Wikipedia?) 2 1/2 weeks. Also, do you know anything about programming and/or running a business? The stuff that gets them money (ie. new games/DLC) comes first and other stuff (trophies) come later. Programming trophies in is not an easy thing to accomplish either. You have decide what you're going to award them for, create the code, and then test it like hell to make sure it doesn't crash the game, brick the console, hack into NORAD and launch nukes at your home town, etc. All this takes time. Time that could be better spent making new games and/or DLC.

Bottom line: Wait till December. If trophies aren't rolling around by then, go ahead and complain. But give them more than 3 f****** weeks to make them. geez....

Meh, I never had high hopes for trophies anyways. They're better than I originally imagined but they still aren't as good as Gamerscore.

heh. After all of one game supports them, you make a statement like that? ummmm.....
