Rumor - Playstation 3 Achieve…”Trophy” Image Leak
Brad Nicholson | 8:59 PM on 06.23.2008 12 comments


Surely at this point everyone self-respecting Playstation 3 owner knows about the rumor of a firmware update containing the equivalent of 360’s achievements. While we cannot know if the Playstation 3 version of the popular system will be as satisfying as “Achievement Unlocked,” this image that PS3fanboy pulled can help us elude to what the system will be about.



So, we have a Clank avatar in the upper left corner and I’m seeing multiple layers of achievements with plenty of space to shoot upwards into the thousands. The lower right-hand number is a bit cryptic. Will this be a sum of all the points gathered?

To further complete the "Yeah, Microsoft did it right, so let's steal it" circle, a second image appeared at PS3fanboy detailing what the submitter essentially calls a gamercard.



The mysterious user then goes all to talk about the in-game XMB, which he says players will be able to do "...most things." Does this mean we can finally message each other while playing MGS 4? Surely if there is one feature Sony's online service sorely needs, it is this.

Take these with a grain of salt. These are two user pictures with zero facts attached to them. But it's nice to dream, isn't it?

Well, I don't know about you but I like the fact that you achieve a level also.Better than just achieving points.

That's some damn fine Kotaku trolling right there. Are you going to post the aptitude test answers and the PSN downtime as well?

Ooof, what I liked the most about the PS3 is that it freed me from the compulsive urges to gain achievements on the 360, and simply just enjoy the game.

But since the PS3's system isnt as numerical as the 360 one, I guess I'm fine.

Yes, I do have OCD...

I'm with Sadistic on this. Achievements mean nothing to me. In game XMB has been what I've been lusting forever.

They're called ACOMPLISHMENTS! OH GAWD IM SUCH AN ACCOMPLISHMENT WHORE!!

Eh... I think once MGS4 came out they missed the mark for me caring for a PS3 achievement deal. Personally as long as they log my gaming info that's fine.

Home will be friggin sweet.

You've heard of Home, Snaileb? It's gonna be fuckin sweet, man. It's kind of like The Sims and you can have your own apartment and watch your own videos and shit, man.

I could care less about the achievements. Like Yojimbo, give me in game XMB and I am fine.
