Rumor: PS3 'trophy' screen leaked, looks like Gamercard
helava says,
Hmm. Interesting. A lot of people are addicted to getting Achievements, so it's nice to see Sony taking something good from the 360 and applying it to the PS3. One of the things, though, that makes Achievements "worth" something is the persistent connectivity that Live provides.
While the Playstation 3 has free online support, I never really get the sense of pervasive engagement I get from Live. Still, it's a step in the right direction. It'll be interesting to see how it shapes up.
