How to Sync PSN Trophies Online

One of the hallmarks of a truly great game is whether it's worth replaying. A game that's fun for one play through is fine, but most people don't want to spend $50 or more for a single 15-hour gaming experience. The trophies system on the PlayStation 3 helps make many games enjoyable for multiple play cycles, giving you the opportunity to earn recognition for feats of varying levels of difficulty. Earning trophies (and their associated bragging rights) can be great fun, and you can sync up and show off your trophies on the PlayStation Network.
