If Civ Rev had it that would be nice. http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/everything-you-need-to-know-about-firmware-2-40/ Anyway I forget how easy it is to back up one's saved games on the PS3. That's why they won't retroactively apply trophies to saved games. http://kotaku.com/5020758/ps3-trophies-not-applied-to-old-saves And there's a new FAQ up at the Blog. Looks like no browser access from within a game. Bummer, no Google searches while playing after all. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/30/firmware-v240-faq/ I saw elsewhere that Bioshock will be the first 3rd party title to get Trophies on the PS3.

Anyway I forget how easy it is to back up one’s saved games on the PS3. That’s why they won’t retroactively apply trophies to saved games.

Either way, I still found it amusing to watch the trophies video, and the guy seemed to be looking for any word he could use that wasn't "achievement".

You've been watching The Last Crusade again haven't you? Now that we have 2.40's feature set I can update an article I've been working on for a long time about what the PS3 Firmware really needs and finally post it. I also want to take my own hands-on impressions into account before I tidy that up. A jeweled cup? You’ve been watching The Last Crusade again haven’t you?

When I look at someone's profile, I can see a numerical score or how they are doing in comparison to me. I can break it down by game, and then, if I deem necessary, what they got in the game vs me. I could be overestimating this, but it just seems like a number works better than a jeweled cup, at least in this sense.
