    Is this a feature that is being added soon?
    I linked my Gamertag (and tried to link my Steam account), but there is no option for PSN Tags.

    Yeah, they actually went to all the trouble of integrating PSN trophies into the site and it was running for about 24 hours before Sony emailed them telling them they weren't looking to have trophies integrated into sites at this time and that they had to take it down.

    We used to have it but like Pessh said, Sony didn't like it so we had to remove the feature. I don't know why but whenever Sony decides to let us use it (along with other sites) then we can implement it quickly since the staff still has all the coding and stuff. For now though you'll just have to ignore it.

    That's kind of lame...
     
    Thanks for the incredibly quick replies, though.  Is there a "my game collection" feature somewhere on this site?  (I'm obviously new).

    @Avallon: You can either start a list from your profile, or go to individual game pages and click "add to list" near the upper right.

    Darn. I do find that I would rather play games on Xbox so I can have my achievements compared with this community. I really with Sony would allow the Trophy syncing here if only for that fact. Working to get trophies is less fun when my 3 PSN friends don't give a crap about what I play.

    I play a lot of 360 games on my PC (Mass Effect 2) so those achievements are just for me I guess.

    That's fair. I still enjoy the prospect of trophies and achievements in my PS3 games or games like Dragon Age on the PC, but having the community here gives my Xbox achievements a little more meaning.

    I like having achievements/trophies viewable by other people.  I wish the PC achievements weren't specific to those games.

    It is lame that Sony does trophies just to shut people up. Allowing a site to track them would help people care about them. 
    They have a lot of things to learn in that department...

    I think they'd prefer everyone to visit their own website to look at all that info.
