PSN’s Trophy System Seriously Needs Some Work
The wonderful world of gaming milestones and awards. Microsoft started with Achievements on the Xbox, and then Sony added in their take to the rewards system on their console a couple years later – trophies. Both of which have swept the gaming community in the past few years, they make you play harder, complete more, compete more, and just simply get more money out of your game.

The trilogy will include DLC released for the game, for specific details you can go here, as well as exclusive artwork packed in a premium folio. The surprise is that the original Mass Effect will be available for the first time on PlayStation 3.

Mass Effect can be downloaded on the PSN for $14.99 once the PS3 version of the ME Trilogy is available.
