SCE introduced a level system that gives the user an incentive to get more trophies. Trophies work on a tier-based system; obtaining a trophy of higher tier contributes more to your level than a lower tier. The trophies tiers are, from least important: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Acquiring trophies adds to your tally and contributes to a percentage bar attached to your PlayStation Network ID. Once a bar is completed your level increases, very similar to character leveling in role-playing games. The required number of trophies increases per level, and the necessary amount as well as the actual value of each trophy has never been revealed to the public.
Within the PlayStation 3's XcrossMediaBar, under Game, a list of trophies available and obtained per game is displayed including a percentage of completition determining the percentage of trophies obtained from that particular game, including those unique to downloadable content (if that system was connected to the internet when that list was updated by the developer) whether that content was obtained or not.
Platinum Trophy
Platinum trophies are awarded only to players who have acquired all other trophies in a game, thus signifying 100% completion; however, obtaining the platinum trophy does not require earning any trophies unique to downloadable content. When acquired, a small platinum trophy symbol is added to the game's particular percentage completion list.
Platinum trophies are reserved for games sold on Blu-ray, with Wipeout HD and Trine being the exceptions.
Sony has revealed that starting in 2009, all games released on the ps3 will have mandatory trophies. However, Trophy support is only mandatory in titles that were submitted for certification after January 1, 2009; so not all games released in 2009 will have trophies since they could have been certified before January 1, 2009 and therefore an optional choice for the game's developers. Also it is rumored that trophies might find themselves integrated into Home, as either a visual trophy case and or a form of currency. Trophies are also being integrated online where you can access them by logging into your PSN ID on PlayStation.com.

Trophies are an incentive-based system for the completion of various objective in PlayStation 3 titles.
Trophies are the Playstation 3 counterpart to the Xbox 360's achievements that were incorporated in the system since the 2.40 update. Trophies are a form of reward that players can obtain for in-game accomplishments, such as beating a certain level, collecting a number of items, etc. All trophies are determined by the developers and as such the difficulty of obtaining trophies can vary from game to game. Some games released prior to 2.40 have been updated to feature trophy support, including Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Burnout Paradise. Super Stardust HD was the first game to have trophies included after release, and Pixeljunk: Eden is the first game to come with trophies at release.Trophy System
