Trophies Can Finally Earn You Cold Hard Cash

Woww, i wish this happened sooner! I have 50 platinums, with a lot of the lego, and telltale games platinumed. I go for every COD platinum as well. Hopefully they change that, but this is still a real cool thing!

Gutted that I live in the UK.😑 I take the odd notion in getting them and have gathered up just under 4000

Sad there's only 12 a year but this is still a lot better

Question: does PS Vita and PS3 trophies count as well?

US only, no surprise there. But still disappointing to see everyone else ignored.

Free money is always great, but this won't change the way I play. For some games, I try to get the trophies, and for other games I don't bother. If I start trying to grind all the trophies purely for the free points, then I won't enjoy gaming as much.

That's kind of a joke, 10 platinums is only 10 bucks? You know how much time it takes to get 10 platinums? I would expect a better reward. I say it's not worth it if you're aiming to do this. The Steam market place is a lot better.

What does it mean "you can earn up to 12 Trophy Passes per year"? Can some one elaborate it more?

@Onion_Knight You can easily get 10 platinums very fast. I mean you can do 10 platinums within a weekend with the right games.
When there are games that can be completed in 2 minutes and various that have been confirmed to be 2 hours and under, it's not that long at all.

@Onion_Knight dam there's always somebody complaining about something. Better this than nothing don't u think? Plus there's points for gold and silver as well. This is an awesome idea, I love trophy hunting after finishing a game, it gives extra value and challenge, and now rewards.. I'm in

@get2sammyb how do we sign up for the rewards?

Nevemind, I found it, it's in the rewards didn't read it thru.

@get2sammyb lol true, better than nothing. It's that I always wanted some type of reward system like this, but i was expecting better to be honest. At least they are heading in the right direction i guess.

Being in the UK it's a waste of time for me! Come on Sony, Europe's your strongest market, where's the love?

@Nitrolad the games I like and play usually take over 100+ hours to platinum that's the thing... i guess they should have better rewards for more challenging games ? It would be a fair thing in my opinion, hopefully they adjust things and keep making it better.

@get2sammyb I actually read this as more of a promotion for their services, Vue, Now etc., than playing games. Though I also got the email based on my Sony Visa card - never did gt a Playstation card - so I thought it was more for that. Oh, and movies.

https://www.sonyrewards.com/en/account/pass/available

I have 972 points, which can get me some old used DVDs they have laying around.

Am I eligible if I don't live in the States but using a US account?

Edit: Nvm, didn't noticed the link there.

You could just make a USA account play your games again and spend the money you earn on the store?

Might need a vpn for the reward site but that should work, if you fancy playing all your games again to save money

Ah, now I know why I got a 10 Dollar voucher on my US account. I only have the US account for some games not available in Europe or for some sales.

Very nice...just remember that you have to go to the Sony reward site, have a rewards account, and opt in to each of the Platinum, Gold and Silver offers (so all three).

There's also an offer for 500 reward points ($5) if you subscribe to three PSN services...I have Vue and Plus. The other two available are Now and Music.

You can also get a 15% discount to the PlayStation store for signing up to trial all four services I listed above. Cancel before the trial ends and it costs you nothing.

There are more, but you all get the idea...not bad for things you may already be doing. Too bad my son isn't linked to my rewards account. He's the trophy magnet.

Sony reward points are like those tickets you get at the bowling alley for playing skee ball. 500 tickets get you a rubber ball and a frisbee.

I already make anywhere between £5-£40 for every platinum. As I then trade the completed game back in.

Bronze trophys are worthless. 😔

@johncalmc Savage department, Randy speaking

a shame it's not retroactive to trophies already earned but i can understand why, the amount they would be paying out if it was so would be ridiculous

although they could retroactively do it for trophies earned over the past 7 days for example

Does having a VPN and a US PSN account qualify? lol

just got past ten thousand trophys

Sony rewards seems to have an IP check that does not allow you to cash rewards if you are outside the US

@kyleforrester87 Ive just realised you could be owed 76p with this algorithm.

@Brasilkilla unless you live in the UK then hes actually complaining about literally getting nothing…

Some of you guys make me embarrassed to be on here I'm FINALLY at level 17 and have only 7 plats. I've been playing for a long time and consider myself a proper gamer compared to my friends but some of you guys are awesome. Not fussed on the cash for trophy incentive but weirdly trophies are important to me and my xbox one is still a 'very heavy' paperweight because I won't earn them playing multi platform games 😣

Europe getting passed as usual always nice to get appreciation as a PlayStation continent.

@dd8900
It's actually a nice bonus for doing nothing more than playing the games you already play...or more likely the new ones you just started. 500 reward points is $5.00...not much, but if all you have to do is game and you get $5.00? Hell yeah!

So many trophies required, for such little payout. Not worth it.

You can use a VPN if you are outside USA.

Cool idea. If its not retrospective, Hakoom (who has the most trophies in the world) will be furious. He would have saved a fortune!

@Onion_Knight what's so better with steam ? Csgo/dota valuable items? If you wont gamble or don't invest money in it so you won't get anything good and gambling is just an addiction. Steam cards it's amazing that you get them for playing almost every game but mostly you get only about 4 cards for game and their not so valuable only about 0.3cents (minimum sell value) and find the guy that would like to buy it and how about steam levels? Ohh it's useless, it's just to show off.

Nah. I don't like it at all. It's a good thing specially when you have 58$ and you need 2$ for a game but you don't want to use credit or gift.
But i like my trophies i would not sell them to sony
P.S: so there is reason that new manager is this guy. Who knows internet work and knows how to play with psn users. I think this is a start for him and it's not a bad start really
@Nitrolad just give me names 😀

@Tautvixs depends on what you play tho, i have some cards that I sold for 5 bucks alone, and even those small cheap cards keep adding up and before you know it you have a nice amount that's worth a little something at least. And yeah if you play Dota and Players unknown you could make even more money selling your in game items... you just need some luck, some stuff is really rare and worth good money on the market, pretty cool.

Nice idea! Just for some extras here and there. Not good for my already acute completionist syndrome.
