Welcome to the internet.

More specifically, TBT. I love how everyone has to take stuff so seriously to start arguments.

@Tye, the only thing achievements/ trophies is a higher score/level, respectively, the only time Ive seen otherwise is in final fantasy when you unlocked a theme for your playstation after getting 7 specific trophies. (correct me if Im wrong?)

And also, achievements can be programmed to be whatever you want depending on the game, such as beat this level, or do this special trick etc.

Is that kinda like Xboxs "Avatar awards?"

They're not only avatar items I've gotten gamer pictures.

Okay, why are we still arguing? I even said that it won't bother me at all as long as they're optional and not forced on you, which will likely be the case, so what is there to argue about?! And the only reason why I said that I disliked them in the first place was because I thought that they were sort of forced on you on Xbox 360 and PS3, and I didn't want that to happen on the 3DS, too, but it appears that my understanding of them wasn't exactly correct, so it really doesn't matter to me at all now. Achievements or not, I welcome any new additions to the 3DS's online play, so long as it's not forced if I don't want it.

This system keeps getting better and better =D But i don't wanna get my hopes up too high.

sounds like Nintendo's finally getting on board the internet.

I just wonder how much the system is gonna cost.

also, aren't achievements/trophies (I don't have experience with 360, so not sure) hardly noticeable at most, at the moment you unlock them? just a ping and a small box saying what achievement you unlocked? I'd say it's pretty passive.. but I guess there's someone to nitpick everything, eh?

TF2 achievements are different.. but a completely different beast, as well, and hardly comparable to Nintendo, or any other game/unlock system I've heard of, but I haven't been listening.
