One of the PSN games tomorrow will have a platinum trophy attached to it (Spare Parts is its name)?!

I often wonder what the trophy rules/requirements are for PSN games when it comes to the number of trophy points that can be included in a single game. It seems most PSN games that sell for $9.99 or less contain 21 points worth of trophies or less. Then there are a bunch of games that sell for $15-$20 that contain a full set of trophies plus a platinum.

Now there is this game which is only $9.99 and contains 13 trophies plus a platinum....

From my observations, a normal PSN game cannot have more than 21 points of trophies (I haven't seen any that have more). A PSN that is treated like a normal retail game, though, is given a platinum and I'm not exactly sure what the cutoff point is for retail games (somewhere around 82-83, I believe). DLC cutoff is around 14 points, I think.

If Spare Parts does indeed have a platinum, most of the trophies are going to be gold.

I guess my question is, what makes a PSN game equal to a normal retail game, and therefore is allowed to have 82-83 trophy points plus a platinum? I thought it was based on price, but with the price of this game being $10, it would seem that it's not.
