And to think that all of this could have been avoided by just leaving in the "Other OS" option? Sad.
Yes because leaving in OtherOS would have TOTALLY stopped people from trying to hack the PS3. Have you guys saying this been eating paint chips?
@pokota its more of you breaking your own lock or a guy who sells the crowbar. if you want to bring current events into it its like holding the guy who sells the gun responsible for what the gun owner does once he has it.
besides fanboyism, why are trophies ACTUALLY different than cheevos? The xbox number is a better system because it's right there I guess, but it's still the exact same thing.
Ha ha ha! O man why would anyone even want to do that? Trophies are for the individual themselves and no one else gives a flying fuck about how many you have. That's like failing a test and just writing a big old A+ on your paper. It's pretty bad when you need to lie to your self to try and prove something to your self. Wankers.

Also, I think it's more just to show it's possible rather than something really useful. They are poking and prodding Sony.

People appear to be forgetting that the cock breaths that hack trophies and achievements don't do it in moderation, the take the full score off a game.
I've seen the ass hats profiles, every game is either 1000 points (retail) or 200 points (xbla), the never hack 750 points or 185, it's ALWAYS the maximum. It's not like the cheaters are among us using stealth to infiltrate leaderboards, they are always in clear sight.
I love cheevos and I've worked my arse off to get my gamerscore but I dont give a flying fudge cake that people cheat to get them.

I'd like to echo Shane Saiyan's comment. Saying that the reason for the hacking us because of the removal of the Other OS function is completely ridiculous. I'd be willing to bet these shit faces have been working on cracking the PS3 since before that happened.
Luckly this is just trophies. It's not like they're worth any money, they just add a little extra fun to a game. The real problem is that we'll surely start seeing more copied PS3 games being run on cracked systems as the days go by.

See, I'm not going to be well liked for this. But I think they need to shut down PSN or something for like a week till they figure out how to stop this.
It's like a child that misbehaves. You don't just work around their bad behavior. If they really want to stop piracy and cheating, they need users to turn on each other. Make the penalty for everyone (since no one fesses up) so that no one wants to do it for fear of being "that" guy that ruined things for everyone. Sure, its a tyrannical and unfair. But I swear some humans will abuse anything they can no matter how unnecessary.
However I understand that this will not happen. And my method would probably be the least popular. Ah well. On with the show I guess.

I respect the hackers because I actually want to play homebrew and emulators on my PS3 – really. But I have zero respect for the stupid pricks that actually coded this app. What the fuck is the point in ruining trophies for the people who like them? I know they were pointless, and I personally always wished they had never been introduced, but crippling the trophy system isn't going to solve anything.
@fluxanimator:
"360 cheevos got hacked years ago. This won't really effect much in the long run."
Wrong. Hacking on the PS3 is officially far worse since they got access to the master keys and everything; they can even change the TIMESTAMP.
Sony has NO way of knowing who is modding trophies unless the timestamps are suspicious, and this is how people are banned on XBL. I know, because my I used to report suspicious people to my friend who does this (xbl bigbrother).
You don't see a lot of hacked gamerscore on xbox because it's not easy to get away with. The best you can do is make your profile private and be under the radar( so you or me can't inspect them, and even then it's a gamble once you're on XBL.
Not to mention all leaderboards like mygamercard.net or trueachievements.com make it easy to see iff someone is modding, which is rare.
Sony IS officially fucked (and not because of this specifically, but if you knew everything and why they're filing a retraining order, you'd understand why).
And yes, there is a CFW and homebrew. There is nothing that can be done and anyone who knows what happened with the iPhone/PSP etc among everything else knows once it's on the internet it's game over. The best they can do is add firmware updates and even still..lol

This is probably the dumbest hack I've ever seen. Anyone who would actually hack their way to trophies, making them even more worthless than they already are, is officially among the most pathetic people in this world.
fuck 'em.. they're only robbing themselves. Only lame-o's look at other peoples trophies and try to compete with them to get more. Or, think that said person is better because they have more trophies. Surely the real point of a trophy is to extend the life of a game, not to prove oneself better than somebody else. People using hacks to unlock trophies are fucking losers. Same as people who use hacks to reach the top of an online leader board.
winners don't do drugs.. or some shit.

It may also be a good idea to change account information shared in common with services other than PSN.

Wow you sound like an expert. I guess Sony should just give up. Thanks for clearing it all up for everyone.
Hacking is rampant on 360. I see it all the time. M$ bans people when they find out and rightfully so and Sony will do they same once they get a better handle on it. The truth is 99.9% of people on either system will never know this is going on. We may get a little emu on ps3 which would help peak interest but that's it.

@munkee - There's nothing wrong with a little friendly trophy competition, but anyone who thinks "winning at trophies" is so important that they would resort to a hack to get them is indeed beyond sad.
See, THIS is the kind of fucktardery that sucks. If you're going to hack the system to run homebrew, fine. Don't fuck the features up to make your e-penis look bigger.
@Zeik56
I agree. that particular line of my statement isn't very fair [and probably wrong] when i read it back. but, im glad you got my point, rather than start a nitpicking, big dick contest. :)

Jim your article is mistaken. What you meant to say is, "Of course, this will never happen because people hacked the PS3 for purely noble reasons. It is unimaginable to think such a just cause would be exploited by cheaters and pirates."
hopefully they can prevent hackers from hacking the PSN. i would hate it if some of the japanese games won't come on western shores just because of this stupid hack
If it's just to artificially give your e-penis a boost then i really don't give a flying fuck. Achivements/Trophies are something i like getting for the challenge/fun of getting and even if i had the choice to hack my score to high heavens i wouldn't do it because to me that is pointless and dumb. For the same reason i just care about my own score and don't bother comparing it to others to make me feel better, so if some dumbass who thinks he/she is gonna get a huge rep by hacking his Achievement/Trophy score does means a flying fuck to me.
On the other side this if it hurts/deletes/alter Trophy scores from other people this is a really scummy move but it think it's just the first

You make it sound as though the destructoid community which is mostly balanced and reasonable is to blame for this.
You also sound as though you are personally damaged by sonys recent ass widening at the hands of Geohot and co.
Time to take a little walk perhaps? Maybe go for some fresh air? Sit in a dark room and count to 10. Its all going to be ok.
Or maybe not.

So does this mean that we are getting trophies on the PSP now?
Since their only reasoning behind not giving them was this exact same scenario...

Still haven't found anyone who brags about the size of their vagina. Or it's cavern farts.
Isn't telling people about your big dick implying you think they have a giant vagina? What kind of farm animals do these people date?
Anyway, can't false times be countered by a sync to ps server that looks for added backdate stamps. Seems very simple to fix.

ZOMG NOT MAH TROPHIES!!!
meh, I only thought that the achievments/trophies that encourage people to explore different aspects of the game they'd normally not try were a good idea anyway.
What happened to the days of getting extra costumes or levels for completing a game?

Your an idiot.
The 2 current generation consoles i own have had their problems with hacking but both of those consoles have great sales figures and in the case if the 360 have brilliant software figures.
I agree hacking and pirating damages the industry but I'm not going to act like ive received a mortal wound because a company that doesn't give a flying fuck about me might lose some money.
Youre the only fanboy ive seen around here tonight and the sooner you get banned the better this place will be.

just recently got trophy 2000 and I couldn't care less about this, trophies are only good for extending the life of a game when it's beginning to get boring I never compare trophies and I'm not even sure what level I am. anyone who takes trophies seriously needs to get a grip
Again, how it's used lies in the end-user. You'll get people who'll do this and that, or people who will only mess about with homebrew and emulators.
The doomsayers will decry the hackers and blame all problems on them. Yet, life will go on.
It didn't stop Nintendo or Microsoft, did it?

Personally I don't have a problem with this, but that's only because I've lost trophies I've earned legitimately because I couldn't figure out how to move my profile and savegames from one PS3 to another PS3.(Can you?)
With how bad the internet over blowing this whole "death of ps3 gaming" thing I was ready to camp out in front of my ps3 with a knife fearing all sorts of Pandora's box shit would be coming out to kill everyone..... needless to say I was dissapointed :(
Isn't the point of a trophy that you are good enough at the game to earn it? Are people really that lazy?
I like trophies. I don't shape my gaming around them, but sometimes it lets me play the game like I couldn't have imagined, visit places I wouldn't see.. And this is a bad thing. Trophies are not pointless as some of you think. For example, trying to get the Superstardust trophies was super fun, and it extended the gameplay for me. So you may revolve your entire gaming habits around it, and it may seem bad, but there are people who enjoy that. Doesn't ruin your gaming. Some people, like me, are selective in their trophies, I just set my eyes on a particular trophy that I find interesting, and try to get that, usually after I finish the game once..
@Emrah
I'm with you brother. Everyone takes trophies too seriously (WELL nearly everyone), they're supposed to be fun to beat and achieve. Here is the thing, if you find that some trophies are way too ridicoulous for you (as in you lack nerves, or primarly time for it) then don't do it. Keep playing the game and do the trophies you think you will enjoy. If you don't enjoy doing some trophies like for example the ever-absurd Grand Valor Cross from Killzone 2. Then move onto different trophies which you think you will enjoy OR OTHER games altogether if you don't enjoy the game after getting trophies (sadly it happens a lot on PSN).
