Im sure im not the only one who does not give a shit about trophies or any type of game achievements.
I agree. I just want a great selection of games and be able to play them online w/ friends or strangers to kick their asses and feel good about myself.
I don't care either for the most part. With that said though, they can be pretty neat sometimes. I guess it depends on the game and how they structure achievements.
true. I don't care about trophies. I'm just waiting for LittleBigPlanet now ;-)
I think achievements and trophies pull you out of the game. I hate it when I'm playing along, completely unaware of the outside world and then all of the sudden "BLOOP - ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED"
Annoying...there should be an option to never obtain them, because I don't care about my gamerscore.

I happen to like getting achievements, but I can understand what you're saying. There should be a feature where you can turn off the in-game notifications. I wouldn't use it, but I can see why some might.
I don't think they can implement a setting where you can simply turn off achievements altogether, though. Just picture all the idiots complaining about not getting gamerpoints because they accidentally turned it off. That would be too much of a headache.
