Don't know what you mean by 'Points', but yes, some sort of a reward system is going to be present in PlayStation Home, and it is supposed to surpass that of the 360.

It would suck if you had to redo things. Or they could just give you the points if you have done them...?

From Eric Lempel , Director of PSN operations (Jan 2008)

Lempel also talks about some "very exciting programs planned to recognize our consumers gaming skills and loyalty in new ways that go well beyond a single score."

This could be just referencing Home trophies once again I guess , but it could possibly be something more. ;)

Thats your opinion. Personally I think having a trophy to actually show off rather than a number would be much cooler. Anyone can count points with a little game picture beside them, but people will be able to walk into your "home" and look at the trophies you have earned....that seems much better

Anyone can count points with a gamer picture next to it? and they cand do the same y looking at a HUGE awesome trophy.....that they have seen in a hundred other rooms.

Besides as i said the xbox has trophies for each achievement earned so its a moot issue

Home's going to have a trophy system... might not be implemented in every game, but sounds like a cool enough idea. What I liked about the achievement system is that it kinda incited me to play on the hard difficulty levels. I don't think I would've been going thorugh COD4 on Veteran if I didn't get points for it, y'know? I'm weird like that I guess. After I get all the points for it, I'll probably sell it and buy the PS3 version, lol.

In many of PS3 games there are skillpoints in the game. I could easily see you getting trophies from them. Also, I think all you have to do is boot up a game when you get home and all the trophies that you have done stuff for will automatticaly be unlocked.

I'm sure that the bigger/cooler trophies will be rewarded for completing difficult nearly-impossible tasks that not everyone will be able to achieve. Also, I'm they'll use some sort of organized system with plaques to hang up on the wall for completing games and then trophies for specific difficult achievements ... this is just me speculating but I think it would a good idea/concept.

You said it was a moot point because you get trophies with each achievement on XBL ... but you don't get to display them in your apartment in a virtual 3D world ... so it's not a moot point, because I, like many others, would much rather prefer Home over XBL.

I don't know where you read that, but HOME is completely free. They will have enough companies to do advertising. There's over 8 million PS3 users and it'd be dumb for a company not to take advantage of that and advertise to a huge load of PS3 users. They'll get the companies don't worry.

In home you get trophies.

i dont really care about achivement points on my 360, then again I dont go onine on that, I do that with my ps3.

I will redo a single player campaign if I think its good. like in COD4, I completed that again on the harder difficulty.

I don't think the PS3 needs a system like achievement points. Not having it will create an image that PS3 players play for fun, not for some kind of reward.

Who am I kidding, I love doing things for points.

JeFF-K
From what I've seen from the trailer, it seems that the trophy room won't be able to hold that quantity, I would guess youl'll be choosing from all the tropies which you are most proud of, then the rest would be on your gaming history list or something, but then again this is only a guess since not many have been lucky enough to be invited on the beta which I hope they bring out soon. Man they should just release what they have now then update it in the future, just like the MMORPG titles.

I don't see the point in achievements. I mean suppose you spend like 5 hours trying to get a really hard achievement point thing and all you get is a gold spider just to show off. I would rather work to earn something I can use to make the game be more fun like the cheats in uncharted or the skill points in insomniac games. Even sometimes the achievement points are rather dumb like in ratchet, you have to do a barrel roll 10 times in the first space mission to get the point and it's like why even bother. If in a racing game or a fighting game they gave you a cool car or a extra fighter because you went above and beyond being an "over achiever" then that would be worth it. Just to get things to say booya to other people to bash them down because they couldn't do something is rather dumb. Games are meant to be fun, not to make people feel bad about themselves.

I dont see who honestly has the time to walk around virtual room just to see what trophies your friend has,is that not just overcomplicating somthing simple?

Well we will see the "appeal" of home when its released,but just like phantasy star universe, the majority of people using it will be overweight men(pretending to be young boys) and un-sociable teen girls.

Well one would think you are a fanboy from all the ranting you have been doing this entire thread. Every reponse you made was pretty much bashing the PS3 system for having more than the X360 system. If you don't like how complicated it is, then DON'T USE IT. It's not forcing you too, it is offered for free. So get off Sony's back and either use it or don't, but stop bashing other people for liking the effort that went into this - PLEASE.

Arrrrr is someone abit touchy over a peice of software? Im notbashing the PS3 for having more then the Xbox that stupid,im giving my opinion on a future application for the PS3 my opinion is as valid as anyone elses as long as i can tell of why i dislike it.

You however have said nothing about what makes it soooooooo amazing and soo much better then anaything else available,as essentially home is just copying a number of currently available programs

I just got my PS3 Friday... awesome console (what took me so long). I also own a 360 and I actually like the achievement system. I like it because normally if I beat a game, I wouldn't play the campaign again - only multiplayer, but now that there are achievement, I play most campaigns twice. Once when I first get it obviously and I give it another go maybe a month leading up to the sequel if there is one.
