Playstation 3's Trophies Or XBOX 360's Achievements?

They are one and the same in theory.

In practice, I give the edge to Achievements only because of universal implementation.

This is the first thread I have seen about this, and if it annoys you so much, then why take your time to come and post in it?

Na this is like the second or third and trust me me there will be more. The reason I post here is to ask why bother comparing the two, If they are both the same thing. I can understand the video game arguments,but it must be a really slow day to bring this up.

They are not both the same thing.

You get trophies on the Playstation 3 and achievements on the XBOX 360.

There are things that make them different, for example, trophies use a level system but achievements have an overall Gamerscore.

So yeh, there are quite a few differences.

This thread is just for people to say which one they prefer.

both serve the same general purpose, but all things equal i think trophies have the edge.. trophies have a further break down of your accomplishments with the bronze, silver, and gold distinctions.. this effectively shows the type of gamer you are by illustrating whether or not you just slide by with alot of bronze (easy) acheivements or if you're the type of gamer that puts in the extra effort to got for the hard stuff.. further more, there's the platinum trophy that showcases the fact that you have received every trophy that a game has.. something that cant really be instantly conveyed with a gamerscore.. then beyond that breakdown, you have the simple and effective leveling system which is also superior to a general "score" imo... plus there's the added bonus of full 3D trophy represtations integrated in Home..

overall, both are great.. i just think that trophies have the advantage..
