You're thinking of Home, micky. At the moment they are still in a closed beta and may be expanding on that later this year- they seem to be finding quite a few bugs to squash. For now there isn't a date set for it.

Related to the 2.4 update, when you unlock a trophy, is there a setting you can change to make the "Trophy Unlock" sound happen? On the Playstation Blog, Lempel said that there would be a trophy unlock confirmation sound, but he didn't specify it is was in 2.4 or in a future update.

K, just wondering. I haven't heard any sound when unlocking trophies.

I think the sound is there, it's a very faint ping-like sound, not very noticeable. I looked through the Settings and noticed nothing there to show being able to adjust this.

I figured it out just now I had "KEYTONE" in the main sound settings on PS3 dashboard set to Off (It's that click click sound you hear as you switch between stuff on your XMB ). When I cut it on and went back to my game, I heard the ping noise when I unlocked a trophy. It definitely isn't noticeable though.

But if anyone has keytone set to "OFF", you will not hear the "Trophy Notification".

Hope that helps.

Not that the sound is really needed- the notice in the corner showing up is hard to miss.

True, but I'd imagine in an intense game of Resistance 2 Multiplayer, with 50 people shooting at you, you could possibly miss a little ping sound and a box at the corner of the screen.

One thing I've noticed is that the trophies have to be synchronized (By clicking Trophies on your main XMB ) so that they show on your GamerCard. Otherwise, the card isn't up to date. Have you noticed that too Lyndon?

For example, I finished a game (In which I unlocked 1 trophy), watched an hour of a Blu-ray disc, then went to look at my gamercard, and the trophy wasn't listed on it. After "Synchronizing My Trophies", it showed up on the card. Seems kind of odd.

Yes, the syncing is a tad annoying- you'd think they could have had that happen when you first got the trophy. Ah well- something to tweak for future updates, I guess.

If you did have 50 people shooting at you I would think the trophy you'd get is the Bullseye trophy for getting shot the most!

Have you seen the Gametrailers footage of the Multiplayer (and aso the single player) anyone. After seeing that i was blown away! It looks completely crazy...

Yeah, i think they've got a lot to tweak now 2.4 has come out. The amount of problems and niggles in the update has let it down a little. Like having to sync the trophies and the limited in-game XMB access, it seems to me like there was maybe either a little laziness (in the PS Network department), or they weren't given enough time.

I'm looking at it like this- the foundations are now there in 2.4, it's just now all the more minor updates we'll get (2.45 etc) are going to have to be a little more important regarding the various tweaks they need to do.

And, i really hope developers are going to start patching trophies into their games soon. I know Burnout is doing this (it's also brilliant that Criterion are making them retroactive), but what about first party titles like Warhawk, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted etc. And the third-party titles (the hugely popular ones for example) should be at the top of the list. I'd love to see trophies being patched into them and many other games soon, and they should all be retroactive, at least. Of course i'm not counting on this happening...

Figured I would post it here in case some miss the news item- the revised firmware, 2.41, is now available via the PS3's System Update. For those that prefer to download it via the computer, I'll be providing a link in the PS3 Downloads section as soon as it becomes available.
