It's kinda a good idea but it depends what you'll be able to buy in Home. Trophies are already popular enough as it is but I can imagine them becoming even MORE significant if you'll be able to exchange them for the odd PSN download or whatever.

Having said that if it's going to be earning you HOME T-shirts and stuff... well I doubt many people will care!

We'll see. At the moment it sounds like a good idea though.

Then I'm totally not that interested.

Don't get me wrong - something is better than nothing - but I really don't want to spend hours and hours trying to get a platinmum medal so I can afford a chair for my Home apartment.

If it was like - hours and hours getting a platinum medal so you could get Super Stardust HD for £1 or something I think TONS of people would be into that.

Currency for Home, eh? Guess my apartment is going to be bare for a long, long time.  Try not to point and laugh if you guys ever stop by.  I'm simply not an achievement/ trophy whore.  All my enjoyment comes from starting up a game, and playing through to the end credits. If I get a trophy or two along the way, great. If not... oh well  ;-)

You guys can of course buy the home related stuff using psn cards, or the trophy.

Nifty idea. Would use it myself. Tho, I know it'd be a much bigger deal if it was used for PSN stuff too and not just Home stuff.

Man, and I was trying to break myself away from being hooked on trophies. Guess I have a reason now though.

I doubt it'll "Take AWAY" your trophies. I'm willing to be it's more of a reward system for collecting so many.

This would definitely get me more interested in trophies, and home for that matter. Well, at least until i realised that virtual furniture is basically the same as nothing.....
What we really need is a system like the Nintendo starts system where you can buy real games with them. Then i would be truly interested.

Well at least it gives trophies a purpose, as opposed to just existing for 'bragging' rights. Seems a bit odd though, the people that will most likely want a brand new sofa in Home aren't really going to be the same people that will want to grind and get the platinum trophy.

I agree. But now I've finally got a chance to use it I do think that while somewhat pointless it's a cool concept that works really well.

December 15th or 30th? A 15 day difference? Oh well, as long as I can get in and play. And I'm only 16, but connected to a master account so can I still get in?

I think its a great idea. But possibly having discounts on PSN games would just make it that much better.

Yay! Snow! (Link Related)

Also...  I prefer buying Home stuff with virtual money earned from trophies than buying Home stuff with real money.  Am I crazy for that?

In my opinion, that is what microsoft points should have been all along.  I love this idea.

I love the idea as well. The simple fact that Trophies can now be used for more than just looking at them officially makes them better than MS points. I look at like my PS3 has unlockables now just like all my games do. It's a great idea.
