First you got to get a game that supports trophies. Once you done that, to get the trophies you need to do the tasks to get them (i.e. for a say a racing game, you could get a trophy for winning your first race etc) this is a very very general description, hopefully not to vague? :p

Games that support trophies (that I know of include):

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune

Burnout: Paradise

Ferrari Challenge

There are others, but someone else will need to fill you in. Once you run the game at least once it's trophies will appear in the trophies section of the Game menu on the XMB, it will show what trophies you have and what you haven't with descriptions on how to get them (plus there are usually a few secret ones as well marked with ???). I hope that steers you in the general direction?

so best bet is, before I play a game. log into the psn network???

Just set up your PS3 to log you in on every system boot then you don't have to worry about it. Oh and make sure the game you're playing has Trophy support. :p

LOL ok. So for arguments sake, the game Grand Theft Auto 4.

I've finished it, if I sign into the network then run the game..will it know that I've already done most of the trophies or do I have to start again?

I don't think trophy's are "retro active" so you'll have to do it all again if you want the trophy's.

(I think)

Yes, that is correct. To avoid people artificially boosting their trophy count using saved game, you will need to play the game again to get the trophies regardless of whether you clocked it or not.

you have to download a patch for each game to support trophies. i just did it last night for Burnout Paradise. there were 2 patches (idk which is which) but one was 150MB and the other was 38MB. im guessing the latter was the trophies patch. once that's downloaded and installed, you can earn trophies online OR offline. keep in mind that you cant play a game w/o downloading and installing the patches.

Don't worry. there's no need for that.

Trophies are triggered offline, and when you go to the trophies menu it tries to sync your offline trophies with the online profile.

Ah, so that is how it all works..wasn't sure :p

GTA4 has a patching coming up that will support trophies, no date announced.

CoD4, not so much.

Yeah COD4 isn't getting trophies, the developers said Sony left it too late for trophy support so they won't be adding it. So out of luck with that one.

What is the benefit of earning Trophies? I mean, what does the end user get in return?

E-Penis and I guess a sense of achievement.

Once Home is out you'll get 3D Trophies to show off in your space, and I presume items of clothing/accessories as well - That's the only reason I'll chase them. If I get something kick ass in Home for a specific trophy, I'll try get it.

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
