Sony claims that it will ultimately "have trophies for every game"
Though Sony has experienced a little teething trouble with its long-awaited 2.40 PS3 firmware update, the excitement about the machine’s new Trophy system continues to build – and Sony has now confirmed that Trophies will eventually be rolled out into every single PS3 title.
Though Super Stardust HD is the only game currently handing out Trophies to gamers, but a number of other developers have already pledged to patch existing and upcoming titles with Trophy functionality.
Now Sony’s Eric Lempel has confirmed that the firm intends for all PS3 games, both those already on the shelf and upcoming titles, to offer Trophies.
Speaking to GameSpy, Lempel stated: “We're working with developers to hit a deadline. It's not something that we're trying to force on them, since it eats into their development schedules.
“Many of them want to do it. It's just there's some additional work on their end; someone has to create art and assets, and we don't want to interfere with what they're currently working on. Ultimately, we'll have trophies for every game, but we didn't want to force it on them immediately.”

“Almost but not quite MCV”

It's fairly clear from the context of what Lempel says here (and even clearer in the full interview and other stuff that's been said of late) that he means 'every new game' - so the argument in the article is a little misleading. Don't let those standards slip, MCV.

It's great that the trophies are coming out, but this update is starting to annoy me. it's just sitting there, nothing to do. at least release a small custom soundtrack patch for us. give us SOMETHING, while we wait for the trophies. This update is like putting an Ethiopian child in a round room and saying "Dinner's in the corner". well, thats what it's like for me :P

Hey, I'm happy with it. I've downloaded 2.40 and my system still works, & I've gained 5 trophies on Super Stardust (one of the best games on the system).
I'm not fussed about the older titles gaining trophies, as tbh most of the current catalogue apart from one or two titles isn't something I'll be looking back at.
