Synching trophies, why?

Off topic - I'd note that no minor irritant like this comes close for me to the almost Universal 'press button X' to go to the main menu to actually then start or load games. That drives me mad (and the fact it seems to be transferring from consoles to PC versions of games (such as Mass Effect) is only making me madder). WTF do they do that? It's totally against 101 ease of use!

Well it's not quite universal, if you play any Japanese PS1/PS2/PS3 games then it's pretty much always the "O" button and the "X" button is to cancel. It gets really annoying when I keep switching between playing my US games and my JP games as the use of the X and O buttons are switched depending on what region's games I'm playing!

As for the OP: Having to sync manually is a really bad oversight on Sony's part, they should have just made the process automatic. My 360 achievements sync automatically, my Steam achievements sync automatically, even my other non-steam pc games sync achievements automatically (like Dragon Age:Origins). Why doesn't Sony do the same???

It feels almost Universal... but then annoying things do...

As I noted earlier, I believe the Sony OS/approach for PS3 is okay but they aren't as good at thinking through things like auto sync, download and install, etc.  They seem to break these kinds of tasks up into lots of little user triggered events.

It's nothing major, but clearly it would be more convieniet if Trophy's auto sync'd.
