Word is that you can't sync them with Sony's servers, but I don't really see how it threatens trophies even if you could. Sony could just deal with offenders like Microsoft deals with achievement hackers: reset their trophies and/or smack them with the banhammer.

The difference is on the PS3 its undetectable, on the 360 it just pops them all up at once and MS can easily see that you got 100 achievements at once.

On the PS3 it goes through and randomly assigns times and dates on them so there is literally no way for Sony to know whose are legit and whose are hacked, and they will figure out how to get them synced on line trust me, they have the entire key set of the PS3 its only a matter of time.

Ah. Well, it seems that they'd still have to be careful about that because if you, say, unlock a trophy for maxing out your online level before unlocking the trophy for winning your first game online, it would look pretty suspicious. Of course, that can also happen legitimately if the date on your PS3 clock is wrong and you fix it later, but someone abusing the system too much would trip themselves up.
