It’s about time Sony got something right with their XMB interface.   Check out the latest firmware update for the PS3:

And they hinted about the trophies, but we have to wait for another video.....which has me a little worried.....

I stand corrected.  Trophies are here now (I’ll get the link right this time):

This is bigtime and XBox Live users who have to pay must be wondering if it is time to switch systems.

No, not really. It’s nothing new, just an attempt by Sony to try and even out the interfaces, although Home might give them a boost if it ever gets out of beta.

Achievements/Trophies are wastes anyway. I miss the days when unlockables in games were actually content, instead of having to pay $5/$10 for things that should have been unlockable or in the game anyway. It just means that those few games that are PS3 exclusive will just be burdened down with Trophies instead of real unlockables.

Yeah i have both Live and Psn and its like day and night
