Rather than the PS3 version of The Orange Box have achievements, like it's PC and Xbox 360 counterparts, it'd be nice to have some Home integration, with the trophy room.

If you don't know what Home is, then it's basically a gaming-orientated Second Life, exclusive to PlayStation Network. It's not out yet, but a closed beta is currently taking place. In Home, there will be a trophy room, where you can unlock trophies for completing various tasks in games. Look for videos on YouTube or GameTrailers.

Anyway, The Orange Box should have it's own trophy cabinet. Basically, when you buy the game, you start off with an open, empty box in your cabinet. Once you complete Half-Life 2, a crowbar pokes out of the box. Once you complete Episode One, a Strider pokes out. Episode Two, a gnome. Portal, a cake. I don't know, I'm sure you could come up with better objects. Team Fortress 2 would be a difficult one. Perhaps after 1,000 total kills are made, an intel briefcase is inside the box. I don't know

So, good/bad idea?

Sounds great. Problem is even though this is a " Xbox 360 & Playstation 3 Game Discussions" forum, all Valve is going to do is tell you they have "No idea what EA's plans are for the Orange Box."

I wonder if the PC/360 achievements will appear on the PS3's upcoming Accomplishment system.

Have you noticed that the "M" on "Players Met" is lowercase, not uppercase, like it actually is, in real life?

have we really gotten to the stage where evry console just copies off each other (even fanboys have to admit that, unless they are truly sad)

People complained when the PS3 didn't have achievements.
People complain now that it does.

*sigh*
