but that has nothing to do with automatic syncing. It has more to do with faulty syncing. The difference between you pressing a button, and the system pressing a button for you is nothing in terms of reliability, but makes a big difference in usability.

I'm likely one in very few, but that absolutely pissed me off.

PSU sucks as badly. I played it for the easy achievements. Then when I went online XBL erased them.

PISSED ME OFF SO BADLY!!!!!

This is off topic but, can you change the sound it makes when trophies unlock, or any sounds for that matter? Like custom sounds?

Sure, if you really feel like that's a good use of your time.   I'm sure you're just itching to point out the I hate Kratos thread because that somehow proves my hate for Sony even though it has nothing to do with Sony or the PS3 but then there's also the thread asking for advice on what a friend should get.

If I was a true fanboy, wouldn't I just let my true fanboy colors show and tell her to get a 360 and not a PS3?

Really, just leave the thread because you're doing nothing for it other than trying to prove I'm a fanboy.  I honestly don't know why you're not banned yet.  If you don't like my complaining, don't enter my threads.  You would think that would be a simple concept.

As it stands, it's an annoyance that the PS3 doesn't auto-synch your trophies.  It isn't anything major and not something that should deter anyone from buying a PS3, but an annoyance is an annoyance and an internet forum is a great place to air those annoyances!  If you don't let it, just don't reply and the thread will sink down with all the other threads that don't get replies.  All you're doing is needlessly bumping the thread making it even more visible.

Your only two options should be either 1) actually contribute (you don't even have to agree, just contribute!) or 2) if you think the thread is somehow a violation, report it and move on.

You have to love simple concepts.

I didn't do anything, but go online with my 360. When I went online the achievements weren't there. I checked xbox.com to see if i could find answers and I read that i needed to recover my gametag.

I said that wouldn't solve anything, but people insisted, so I did it. and now I don't have them at all.

I don't believe that is right. 

You can unlock achievements offline and as soon as you connect they will synch up.  Reading your later posts what you experienced was simply a bug.  I don't know if it was achievements or Phantasy Star, though I assume Phantasy Star since I've never heard of that happening.  I'm sure there are some official Phantasy Star forums somewhere you can follow that up with.

Hmm, that could be interesting to try, I'll check it out later tonight if it's still on my mind.  I've never tried programming multiple button presses to one button and I don't know if I could make that an actual activity. 

Of course there's still the problem of I have to remember to do that while my PS3 is still on.  :-/

Oh! And about that BlueRay problem I had a while back, I can select Play and Play from Beginning and they both send me straight back to the beginning (or at least it did with District 9).

Well like I said I'm likely one in a few that experience it, but it did happen.

Unlike with PSN where I haven't lost a single trophy.

For every activity there is a power-on, and a power-off sequence that you can modify. I haven't played with it myself, but that is what I'm thinking about. That would also mean you don't have to think about it at all, just hit the off button. Obviously mapping a button would just be for test to make sure it is done right as custom buttons seem easier to setup than power-off sequences.

I also tried the Play & Play from Beginning on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and it too started from the beginning. I think everyone is lieing to us >_>

Autosynching would be nice but it's now become second nature to me to synch them before I shut off. Not sure why this hasn't been added or an option to "turn off this machine once back up is complete." Those are 2 simple things that I would like a lot.

I believe that it happened, but it's just a bug and probably a Phantasy Star one.  If it were a general achievement bug there would be much more buzz about it but since Phantasy Star isn't that big of a game on the 360 anyways it makes sense that it would be the problem with that since there hasn't been a giant shit storm about it.

There is of course the potential to lose any achievement information if you're offline, but there's nothing you can do about that and trophies have the same exact problem.  Synching in no way fixes that and in fact it's something you can't really fix unless a console is always online.  Actually, I would say the 360 actually has less of a chance of you losing achievement/trophy information since achievement information gets sent immediately if you're online while trophies wait for you to sync.

But anyways, completely off topic!
