Achievments never interesteted me, trophies are better showing the difficulty in achieving them. Plus there is nothing equivalent to the platinum trophy for achievments.

I hate how alot of games got trophies after I already beat them, but I have been replaying uncharted and gettingthoose trophies I deserved. It has made the secound play through alot funner. And I rented ODST and played the game COOP on my Bro's 360 because the achievments really are a boring system to me. He wanted them win, win for us both.

Achievements are not more original then Trophies.. Multiplat games have the same trophies/achievements and exclusives on both platforms have their lame achievements/trophies.. saying Achievements are more original is a invalid argument

One could argue that achievements are more original simply based on the fact that Sony probably copied MS in deciding to implement trophies (trophies and achievements are genius imo. So many of my friends love getting them, and having those artificial goals in a game keeps those less dedicated playing).

I like both. The tiered system of trophies is very nice, as well as the leveling system. But there is somethign to be said for the simplicity of a score. Maybe something that incorporates both next gen?

with more original I did not mean the system itself but the task behind a achievement (Complete game on hard difficulty for example)..

Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous

Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5, Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.

Ah, I see. I agree then. I dislike those games with trophies/achievements that seem like an afterthrought.
