Rumor: PS3 Trophy rewards to become more rewarding

Several months after Sony launched its campaign to exploit a widespread gaming neurosis discovered by Microsoft during the development of Xbox 360, the company is considering a change of heart, suggests a rumor plucked from the pages of OPM. That is, instead of treating afflicted players with relatively useless, congratulatory Trophy pop-ups, Sony may be "mulling over some sort of [actual] Trophy reward system" -- one which could offer valuable amends.

While OPM and CVG speculate these rewards would likely stop at exclusive beta access and kick-ass wallpapers, we're imagining something greater. Like, chicken rings. Sony could actually do some good by eliminating the typical, self-inflicted starvation that plagues Trophy hoarders. You see, when it comes to, "Do I spend this last 10-spot on dinner or Geon Emotions?" clinical studies have shown sufferers of DRHS (Digital Reward Hoarding Syndrome) choose the latter option 99 out of 100 times. But what if unlocking the "Geon King" Trophy also meant a Triple Whopper wit' cheese was waiting for you down the street at Burger King? Please Sony, if you won't help us defeat DRHS, at least help us treat it.
