Rumor: Sony 'Mulling Over' Reward System for Trophy Winners
October 20, 2008 | 11:20 AM PST

They say that a job well done is its own reward... but what do they know? Nowadays, if someone does something, anything in a game, they want celebration, fame, fortune, rewards... and it seems that some platforms are ready to give it to them.

Of course, Xbox has its Achievements, and Sony is trying to follow in its footsteps with Trophies... and, they may be considering something more.
"We've heard that SCEA is mulling over some sort of Trophy reward system," it says in the latest issue of [Official PlayStation Magazine].

"We doubt it'll be cash (or the equivalent), but we suspect it might be exclusive access to early betas and the like," the magazine speculates.

Sony UK declined to comment on the rumour, but we'd say access to exclusive wallpapers or themes via the PS Store could also be possible, or early access to demos. Would be nice. -- CVG
Of course, one would hope that wouldn't become the de facto way of getting in, but just one more.

What sorts of rewards would you want for making the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs?
