Sony's PS3 DVR add-on lets you earn trophies just by watching TV shows

Remember that PS3 DVR add-on that Sony is releasing in Japan? Apparently they've added a feature that should entice the most trophy-hungry of fans. That's right, they've added trophy support to it.

The add-on, called Torne, will apparently reward owners with the "Master of Final Episodes" trophy once they've watched enough final TV show episodes. Andriasang reports that this is from the latest issue of Famitsu. No word on further trophy support, though.

The same Famitsu issue also included the following feature list for the DVR add-on:

Full High Vision Viewing and Recording
EPG Compatibility
Subtitle Broadcast Compatibility
Dual language compatible
Can write PSP data
Compatible with PSP remote play
Fast view playback
Visual scene search
Surf the net while viewing
Torumiru view (a means of checking the viewing trends of other viewers)
Trophy Functionality
And more...

Sony hasn't said anything about bringing Torne outside Japan, but those who just have o have it can import it when it comes out this March.

why is all the cool stuff for ps3 and psp so expensive. I really wanted the Location Free for psp, but that thing cost $200 US or more. Now this little doohikey comes out and its going to cost the equivalent of $100 US if it comes to the US. if it doesen't the we'll have to pay import fees to boot. THIS BLOWS!!!! But i really want this thing.

I got the newest type of location free off eBay for 48 smackers. Just shy of a month ago, works great with my dvr too :) Makes the GO even more worth it.

"Oh, no! Nobody is buying series XXX"
"Lets add a trophy for finishing it!"

The silly thing is, people will actually get it for that...

What about us owners of the PlayTV? Do we get an update that lets us get trophies by watching TV?

It sounds like the PlayTV is for the PAL regions and this new unit is for the NTSC regions?

QJ are u retards unless you use ISDB broadcasting in the country you live in this wont work as far as im concerned USA uses ATSC and NTSC and Europe and much of Asia uses PAL so it pretty much useless out of japan

It's not like Katsuragi Misato Houdou Keikaku's trophy requirements were any decent either.
Pay for the supscription fee and keep watching the news to get some trophies, including 2 silvers and a gold one.
You'd get a silver on christmas, newyear and your birthday as well.
