Want Cash for Home? Collect Trophies

It was posted on the message of the day within Home, that Home users should all meet in the Central Plaza between 8-10pm (eastern). The three developers took questions from the crowd and had this to say:

"There will be a money system. you earn money from collecting trophies. and you will get money for the trophies you already have".

It would be nice if true!
Its a nice reward system and not just bragging rights! I hope this system works.

Off topic but within the Trophy System, how about loosing a trophy everytime you convert it to Home Money? Would it make U keep your games in order to squeeze more trophies for money trade? Just a thought... uhm....

I don't think I would want to lose trophies when they convert to money..I spent too much time collecting them in the first place and some of the games I had to replay after trophies were patched.

Off Topic: If the 18+ rumor is true, at least when you are talking to what you think is a girl, it won't be an "underaged" male on the other end.

I think that'd be pretty stupid if we lost our trophies when we spend them on Home stuff. That defeats the whole point of trophies as bragging rights...it's not the same to brag about virtual clothes and furniture.

I though this had been confirmed previously?

Sony didn't want trophies to be a arbitrary score with little use past a "urination" contest and were going to offer various rewards for trophies.

I think it would be cool if you actually had a trophy cabinet in your apartment, and all the platinum trophies were stylised depending upon what game they were from, that way, you could really show off "I choose the impossible" trophy without have people have to use the compare trophies thing.

22 - IF it's true

Remember that it's an unconfirmed rumor. But if it's true, maybe it will make Microsoft consider adding a real value to their customer's gamerscore by allowing them to use gamerscore to purchase Avatar clothing options. Personal opinion: Microsoft will continue nickle and diming their customers with microtransactions that will just have a bad end result - many generic Avatars on the NXE, including mine.

Anyway, it looks like I have some trophy earning to do. I had a sneaking suspicion that Sony would make trophies worth more than a level, and it looks like that might be true. Awesome! It's a good time to be a gamer, with the companies competing like this!

This is nice for those who do not like trophies and those who do not want to spend hard earned cash to get clothing and items within' the game. As my friend does not like them, but I am sure he will try to get trophies to spend a few HOME-bucks. So far I'm starting to like the way sony is going with home at this time, granted I may not like getting trophies, but overall I'm finding them easy to get at the same time so no lose to me.

Though whatever they choose to do I'll stand by it I suppose, just as long as their will be a few updates to the clothes just as well, everyone looks practically the same :).

I find that in the games that I play and not even try to get trophies, I end up with about 30% of them anyway.

So anybody who just completes the game will get a good amount of trophies if even they aren't even trying.

It still accomplishes the goal of getting people to buy/rent more games.

I'm glad to hear that Sony is at least trying to make trophies/PSN level mean more than just bragging rights.

I highly doubt that any of this is true!

If this was true I'm very sure "SCE" would have made an announcement and not a public gathering in the HOME square.
I believe this to be a hoax and anyone who chooses to believe this will be very disappointed.

4 - Dudes where fake

I can confirm this dude Locust__Star as being fake. Me and a friend zKAPOWz played pool with this guy and bowled.He said alot of interesting things. We thought he was the real deal for a while. We bought it hook line and sinker until i noticed the two underscores. Then we confronted him about it. He said it was a "typo". Then he preceded to tell us he was "fulling in" for the real Locust_Star. Please don't believe this. The guys were fake. They actually fooled allot of people though so don't be surprised if you see thes guys lies elsewhere on the net. By the way, i spanked his a** in pool and have pics to prove it if that makes anyone feel any better.
