There are more disadvantages to Trophies than advantages.
Although the platinum trophies and leveling system can be a slightly better thing to really compare who is playing better, who is to say that further down the line, trophies wont become another whorefest when developers make them easy or they make another Avatar-like mistake?
As much as people want to argue, the leveling system is far more complicated. This is because its harder to level up once you get to higher levels.
For example, say you are level 25. How many and what type of trophies it takes to level up to 26 is not shown and unknown. And this will change when you get to higher levels, 50 to 51 and so on.
Gamerscore is much easier. Say you have 50,000 G. Getting 5,000 more G is the same whether you have 0 G or 50,000 G or 100,000 G.
To make the problem worst, there are a different number and type of Trophies per game and its not a standard 1,000 G for retail games and 200 G for XBLA games.
And last but not least, Sony is seriously taking their own sweet time on this. I hope theyd at least allow comparison online and show how much each type of trophy is worth for leveling up at different levels.
