GameSpot writes: "What we heard: Though it got off to a bumpy start, the PlayStation 3's trophy system is now in place, already rewarding many players--some retroactively--for their in-game feats. However, the same privilege hasn't been extended to owners of the PlayStation Portable, which has no trophy system....yet.
That may soon change, though, if hints dropped during GameSpot Live's E3 2008 Stage Show are any indication. During a presentation of Buzz! Master Quiz for the PSP, producer Emerson Escobar described the in-game medal system for the trivia game, which will have over 5,000 questions divided along three levels. "We've implemented a new medal system for bronze, silver, and gold. You basically have to get bronze to move onto the next batch of questions," beamed Escobar.
Then, around the 12 minute mark of this clip, the producer promised something even more interesting. "The cool thing is it isn't just getting the gold medal," he chimed. "We've also implemented a trophy system. Let's say you answer a question within one second, you get a lightning finger trophy. If you answer a question within half a second, you get a supersonic trophy."
When asked if his comments meant that the PSP was getting trophies, Escobar laughed nervously. "Check back with us later," he said, grinning--and then declining to go into further detail."
WorthPlaying contacted SCEA to find out if it planned to match the PSPgo Rewards program announced by SCEE this morning and was told that Sony had no plans at this time to match the European offer.
"There hasn't been any announcement yet that there will be an equivalent rewards program for North America..."
"There hasn't been any announcement yet that there will be an equivalent rewards program for North America..."
This is sad .. the Euros are getting stuff, and here in the US they havent even figured out the UMD issue yet either.
Don't they realize this thing is coming out like SOON
There are over 1.7 million user generated questions in the game Buzz.
I made 200 useless questions, myself. Just 25 sets of 8 questions (junk) for the silver trophy (and it was my final needed to platinum Buzzz). I imagine a HUGE number of the questions are similarly worthless.
The highly anticipated BUZZ! Home space has been removed from PlayStation Home. The explanantion is below.
and if you ask me i'd say this was a smart move from sony. In my opinion, this space was never finished and ready yet it was launched just to shut users for a while with complains.
Well sony, not all of us are sputid, you'd be surprised with how many get your moves even before you make one!

Update: We experienced a minor glitch this morning with the Buzz space in PlayStation. We know what the issue is and we are working to resolve it as soon as possible. Please check back with the blog for an update on when it will go live.
if they do this, then that means we might see PSN integration with the PSP in the future. not to mention this can boost software sales as well
i dont see why not...
PSP trophies won't work because people will just pirate even more to get trophies.
Well, from what i know, hacked PSP cannot play online games as the network detectes their firmware right??
in that case, im guessing trophy support will be stored inside the system memory, so you cant access it without having it hacked.
If you hack it, copy trophy files to your friends hacked PSP, both of you cannot connect to the network, meaning thoes throphies wont show on your profile??
?? possible?
I so hope Trophies come to PSP games because then I would have a reason to replay some of my favorite PSP games again. Plus I like thoughs trophies and if I can get more that would be great news.
