Achievement/Trophies

If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Harrison mentioned something about things being unlocked in Home from playing PS3 games. He showed some stuff like the Resistance wallpaper. If there are other things like pieces of furniture or clothing items for Home avatars, those will be WAY better than achievements or trophies! Think of it like this. You could beat Killzone 2 on the highest difficulty and get a Hellghast suit as your avatar's clothing. They could even take it further allowing for things like a Chimera skin complete with Rage mode if you're in the top 50 of Resistance. This not only serves the purposes of achievements and trophies (showing your online friends that you accomplished difficult tasks), but it also adds more varitey to Home.  

more like stolen idea!

But good to see SONY with a online service.

Having a trophy to hang on your virtual mantlepice or clothing from the main character in the game you just completed would be sweet. You could walk around the community areas and other people could see that you completed a certain game. It would help to find like minded friends quicker as well making long winded game lobbies a little easier. Xbox Gamerscores are okay up to a point but after a while you realise that there are millions of people with a better score than you and then it gets tiresome. However having a medal that you can wear for completing, for example ten FPS, would be more unique than someone having a better score than you just because he played lots of cheap (easy to collect achievements) games.JustWiicredible

Imagine Metal Gear Solid Outfits :o! Krigon

I wouldn't say it took Sony a while to realize that people liked achievements. Home has been in the making for years. They most likely started on it before 360 was even released, just as MS probably started the new XBL way back when Halo 2 came out.

I don't think the Hall of Fame would ever get cluttered because it sounds like you'll be able to choose which trophies to show off. I imagine there'll be a list of things you've accomplished that people can access, but they'll also be able to see the trophies you wanted to show. Either that, or not every accomplishment will bring about a trophy.

I agree that Metal Gear costumes would be orgasmic. I would love to be in my apartment wearing a sneaking suit.
