Great!

Doesn't really matter for me. I never get into beta's, even though I have over 300 hours in Warhawk.

I hate this idea!

This is good news for Trophy lovers and it coud become very interesting depending on the rewards.

I m pretty sure some people would love it ;)

MGS4 needs trophies first...

I think they should give you PSN money for each platinum trophy you get. Is 5 bucks reasonable? It's not like they're losing money, right? Just giving you a discount.

And there should be leaderboards and the top three people at the end of each month should get 10 bucks each. That's extremely unlikely, but would also be extremely cool. And would kill Fallout 3 (no trophies at launch)

If/when the game gets them , they are better not match the current emblems...

I had fun clearing the game 4 times. But I don't want to have to clear it like a dozen+ times for the platinum lol....( which is pretty much what is required to get all emblems).

This is a good idea,

Its about time Microsoft gave real rewards for achievements. Whats wrong with giving a few dollars away to users (by microsoft points or a free LIVE download or something) whenever they reach a major milestrone, such as every 5000 gamerpoints or so, for Sony wth trophies maybe every time you level up by 5 say.

As long as cheating through mod/saves games allow you to get easy achievements Microsoft will never be able to give any reward with a monetary value...

Because they can always delete achievements of cheaters afterwards but they aren't gonna get back the reward they gave for those....( remember a few months ago when they deleted a bunch of cheater's gamercards, some of them had over 80k achievements ( and some got them back on another account within a week...)).

Seeing Sony experience with MMO it's most likely going to be stuff like unique furniture in Home. It cost them very little to do that and some will be excited by it....

They wouldn't be retroactive anyway.

Sony have made it clear for back-patching trophy games, any game where you can just download the save file will be a game you have to re-earn any requirements for trophies.

So if you needed earn all 40 ranks for a MGS4 trophy and already have them all, then you will be earning all 40 ranks again. On a newly started save file.

That's kind of how Microsoft did it when they did the rewards for achievements program. It was only new achievements gained within that period of time. I thought they would do it again because I only got enough achievements to win a few gamerpics and some MS points. Grand prize winners got a retail game (Fuzion Frenzy 2), but I didn't care because I used Fuzion Frenzy 2 to get most of my achievements. If Sony did this on a full-time basis that would be great. Hopefully forcing Microsoft's hand to do the same. I had looked forward to it this summer that past but instead they did the "Summer of Arcade" thing which was awesome anyway.
