I have been reading a lot about how Sony's achievement system will go far beyond what the 360's system is like and I got to thinking....
"What if the achievement points can be used as a sort of currency for PSN or for purchasing game related characters, weapons, clothing, etc.?"
For instance, say you played MGS4 and got every last achievement and then you could use those achievements to purchase MGS related stuff on the PSN or within the game like different characters, weapons, skins, vehicles, etc.
It's an interesting idea but I don't think sony would like it. Less people would pay for character downloads and just have a good friend of theirs get the achievement for them. I wonder how they are going to do the trophy thing. Is there one trophy for each game? Or one trophy for each special challenge met in a game? Personally i'm not a huge fan of the achievement system but I know alot of people are. I just hope i can plaster my walls in home with jpgs of animes I like. hehe.
There was a similar topic to this awhile back and I still feel the same way. As long as it was limited to items from that developer than I think it could work, but if you could earn points from a completely different game and buy another game for free with it, that would severely hurt developers.

That is a good point. So like completing a task in uncharted 2 to get the jaks skin?
There has been topic saying that getting some achivement will unlock cloths etc for your character in HOME. Think it's up to developpers to use that though

Actually I was thinking like finish Uncharted 2 and get a new gun or clothing option for free for Uncharted 2. But thinking about your way, that might actually encourage people to buy the developers other games so that might actually be better.

It wont beat the Xbox achievemnets simlpe but higly addictive
Will the achivements be similer to the Xbox ones? like on COD4 complete mile high club on veteran

well any achievement system is stupid in my eyes, but I'd rather get a digital trophy than an extra 5 nothing added to my total amount of nothings
Technically there exactly the same u cant do anything with a virtual trophie that u cant do wwith a traditional score,Also the 360 gives you badges for every single achievement
This idea isnt anything new, 360 owners have always wanted to be able to purchase things with there score, the only thing we got was Fusion Frenzy 2 :( lol
