Trophies Not Coming to PlayStation Portable
1UP RSS feed — ... The last few hardware iterations and firmware updates to the PlayStation Portable have made the device share more in common with its console cousin, the PlayStation 3. This led some to speculate that Trophies would go cross-platform, letting players up their PlayStation Rank from games on either system. Not so, according to Sony's Eric Lempel in recent comments to Joystiq. "You're not going to see Trophies on the PSP," he said. It's pretty hard to misinterpret that. ...

Sony: No trophies on PSP
Destructoid — ... I have been fairly critical of Sony's Trophy system in the past, but that's mostly because they have a vast amount of potential that hasn't been realized. Take the PSP for example -- had Sony shared the Trophy system between its handheld and the PS3, something really interesting could have happened. Sadly, however, Sony is Sony, and this is never going to be. ...

No Trophies for PSP
The Escapist : Latest News — ... points out, each iteration of the PSP has been successfully hacked and piracy on the system is rampant. But this decision may be more about the PlayStation 3 and ensuring its Trophy system isn't compromised than about the PSP itself; in that light it could also be seen as a tacit admission that despite its new design, Sony still has concerns that the PSP Go will be vulnerable to exploitation.

N/A — ... Post-E3 rumours have hinted that the PSP may introduce the Trophies that were copied from the PlayStation 3, which were in turn copied from the Xbox 360 Achievements concept. However, to put the rumours to an end is the Director of PlayStation Network Operations, or Eric Lempel as his friends call him, who quite bluntly told Joystiq :“You’re not going to see Trophies on the PSP” That’s pretty much the end of it then. Well, not quite. Anyone following E3 or even the rumours before E3 will be aware of the PSP Go! Whilst Eric Lempel (we can call him that because we hope he is ...

PSP Trophies Have Been Denied
PlayStation LifeStyle — ... Network operations, revealed that the reason the PSP has not received Trophy support is because of inevitable exploits to the Trophy system infrastructure in the firmware. In other words, hackers could get credited for Trophies they never earned. Because of the lack of “security”, Trophies will not be coming to the PSP. At least not the original PSP. Thanks, pirates. Trophy whores are just going to have to wait for the PSP 2 for a chance at Trophy support. [Source] ...

PSP isn't secure enough for trophy system
Fidgit Atom Feed — ... Eric Lempel, the director of the Playstation Network operations, tells Joystiq that the PSP won't tie into the Playstation 3's trophy system because it's not secure. I hope all you people with your hacked PSPs and homebrew software and ripped UMDs are happy now. See what you've done! ...

PSP Trophies Aren’t Down for the Count
PlayStation LifeStyle — ... his reason why: “If people can artificially inflate their rankings and amounts of Trophies it kills the whole [Trophy] system.” How about forcing people to be logged onto the network when trying to accumulate trophies? I’m sure the powers that be can think of a way to allow the PSP crowd to get their fix! [Source-1/Source-2] ...

PlayStation Portable Trophies are "Under Discussion"

However, as ...
