PlayStation 3 owners with jailbroken consoles now have a much more convenient and less time consuming way to unlock trophies in some of their favorite PS3 titles, thanks to a newly released homebrew application that recently popped up online.
According to CVG, the application lets users instantly unlock every trophy in select games. Sony issued a statement saying that it is aware of the issue and will fix it through “network updates,” but it didn’t offer any specifics beyond that.
It’s unclear at this point how many games are susceptible to the application, but allegedly Batman: Arkham Asylum and Resident Evil 5 have protections in place to keep the Trophies safe. It also isn’t known if the “unlocked” Trophies have been able to be synched on the PlayStation Network.
Cheating the system to unlock Trophies is definitely lame, but I wonder how many gamers will truly feel outraged or incensed over this. I can’t help but thinking about Matthew McConaughey’s closing speech in A Time to Kill. “…Now imagine they’re Achievements.”

I know to every one out there that this sounds like a lame way to get trophies, boring that is. If I were Sony I would aproach a hacker and say we want you to put this homebrew out there. How many people do you think have a console online that has been jailbroken? Now Sony sits back and watches as the amounts of kids with hacked console unlock all the trophies in all thier games and Sony says Ban Hammer and zaps your PS3 DED. Yeah please no comments about the spelling, it was done on purpose. So go ahead kiddies, go and unlock all your trophies and give Sony an excuse to brick your console.

A hack to automatically unlock trophies? Well that just doesn't sound like fun at all.

I always thought 'achievements' or 'trophy's' were lame.
Kinda funny in games like Fallout, but aside from humor value irrelevant.
Now if you are the kind of person that thinks they reflect your manhood,
I suppose you'd be pretty incensed. IMHO this hack just reflects the zero
value that online accounts truly have.
If I were Sony, I'd be truly worried about compromising of PSN accounts.
So far it's just nuisance hacking.

I see the ps3 hacked as a good thing, Makes developers reconsider exclusive titles and makes them multi platform

This sucks, I'm 36 yrs old and been playing games since Atari came out. I put a lot of blood and sweat earning my platinum trophies on games i love. Now I just look like a hacker because a have a lot of trophies /sigh.
I hope Sony will fix this.

Video game hacks to complete achievements, trophies, ranks or anything that is just a representation of actually playing the game make absolutely no sense. You the person know you did not earn whatever it was you hacked. Isn't the point of everything in the game to actually play the game? Yeah dude I got all the achievements/trophies in cod mw2 and im 10th prestige (through hacks). Now, no one really cares if you did that legitimately, and now you don't even have the small feeling of accomplishment. It's not like it gets you money or laid. So what the hell is the point of hacking, cheating or faking anything in video games? The point of the game is to play it and have fun.

Btw this is nothing new to the scene really. As for jail broken ps3's it's not like all of em is connected to the psn anyway.

I don't feel "outraged" or w/e over this because trophies, achievements, epeen0r points w/e you want to call them are totally personal. I for one have been doing "achievements" before there was a method to easily show to your friends, such as completing LoZ with only 3 hearts, getting Pikachu to surfboard in Pokemon Snap ect. Real gamers never did it for the points that you can show off, they did these things for the challenge and accomplishment. So hacking to say you did defeats the purpose for something that once again- is totally personal.

1.)Breach of terms of Use
2.)Manipulation of Software
Yeah, this guy is is done. Why would you want to cheat for items of no value?This guy did a pretty good job on keeping himself from getting a girlfriend while jailbreaking the iphone, now he's staying single making trophies instantly awarded via hack.

That would be a very empty feeling to have achievements unlocked without getting them myself (or with help).

ok hacking your ps3 just to unlock trophies = epic noob fail. hacking your ps3 to allow it to run ALL media file types = epic win. Hacking your system is not bad, now if you intend to use your ps3 system to do worthless things such as ruining others gameplay or playing pirated games thats a different story. the hacks themselves are not bad its the intention of the users that make it bad.

But that defeats the entire purpose of getting it through trial and error doesn't it? I'd figure you would want try. It's like playing a game on it's hardest level only to get the last boss, realize you can't so you drop the difficulty to really easy or whatever.

jeez some people need it! I've only seen one person with 1000+ trophies. And only a few others with 850+ including myself.

Friend: Hey guys look, I got all of the trophies for RE5
Us: Cool story bro.
Friend: ...And the best part is I hacked PS3 to get them.
Us: Cool story bro.
This is a pretty stupid hack.

Good Lord, why do so many people care about which system is better? Both of them are entirely unneeded in the first place. Hell, all they do is make people go "Hurr durr, my e-penis is bigger than urs, N00B!! ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL!!!1!!1" Who really cares if you've beaten AC: Brotherhood six ways to Sunday? Did you get anything worthwhile out of spending all that time getting a Platinum/all of the achievements? Gaming would be so much better without either of these.

ok i have a gaming pc,wii,ps3 and my xbox 360 i love every system but i have my own gripes for each wii not enough FPS's with multiplayer like other systems,xbox 360 what i play lots of pay to play online,jtaggers and unreasonable,overexcessive suspensions for stuff like profile violations for 2 weeks that u pay service for, PC the keyboard style for fps's,most games require a graphics card lolz i have a gaming pc so no worries there some ppl too used to controllers like me but the main system in this article Ps3 pricy hacked easily and thats it for my gripes the pros are xbox:good service,get dlc titles b4 other consoles cause of the subscription based system, wii= good for playing classic sidescrollers,N64,gamecube titles and homebrew channel for emulators, PC=games are amazing on high end pc's with maxed out graphics,alot of F2P mmo's out there,listen to music from win media player or itunes while gaming,easy to capture game footage without any other hardware besides your PC,Ps3=great F2P multiplayer alot of good PS only titles like UC:Drakes fortune which i have and loved want the sequal but you know how it is i dont play my ps3 as often as my PC or xbox360 :( and another 4 great ps3 titles are GoW3,KillZone2,HeavyRain,MGS4: guns of the patriots i have all 4 and i played each of them all over again when i do go on my ps3,last but not least u can transfer mp3's onto your ps3 and save them on your HDD as a playlist but i dont like the xbox where you cant :(
But for this article in short if you take the easy trophy route it will be bumpy and dull so take the normal scenic route it will make it less dull and fun
