Nice job! This clarifies a lot.
Now if only Sony (or Adobe) updated the “Flash”-player of the PS3-browser to at least 9.0 !!!

Here’s an interesting question from the “Playstation Blog” which has not been answered so far:

Will the patched games start to produce PSN ID tagged savefiles. Currently there are some games where you can basicly load your save file and paly for a minute and you will probably given the trophy.
There are sitsuations where this is ok, (when the player himself has achieved the things he has in save file)
but there are sitsuations where he hasnt
(downloaded from sites like gamefaqs)
I think trough this update there should be limitations on sharing the save files. Having PSN ID tagged safefiles which cant be overwrited by another account could probably lessen the abusing of save files to get trophyes.
Hopefully sony has already taken this to account since if its not it might cause some cheating with savefiles available from net.
āIām still a bit confused, are we going to have to replay the game from the very beginning or will it associate your game save with your PSN Username?ā
Most likely you need to achieve it again, meaning if you have already cleared game on hard (and game doesnt offer you chance to start from last stage again to clear it again)you gotta delete the old save data and clear it again. But if your on the last chapter and only few steps away from clearing the hard dificulty the achievment will be tkaen in to account, atleast this is what I hope it will be.
And it probably differs trough games a lot, for instance in online games you already got your personal data, so next time your data gets changed after playing a game you will get the throphies your stats can give you.”
Does anyone here know how this will be handled?
