Obviously CFW but I'm interested to know where people stand with this now that we're so far down the line of new firmware. Is it safe for me (my account rather) to start buying CFW platinums. I mean, I'm not going to buy it and then it doesn't add % to my account, or has platinum unlocked but not 5 other trophies (On YGC.net this happens I think, it shows plat unlocked but other trophies missing) and what problem people have had with CFW platinums being synced. I didn't want to turn to the darkside, but I figure if people are hacking entire plats of games like Street Fighter 4 and GT5, why should I spend hundreds of hours mastering the game and then someone achieve the exact same within minutes (with no repercussions) I realise there is the skill & self-satisfaction factor you get from doing it, but c'mon, really? With a possible GT5, SSF4, SF4, MvC3, MK vs DC, R3 plats all looming in the hacked section I'm seriously considering going all out on CFW purchases. Unless some of you give other opinions on this...
Is it worth me buying and possibly ruining my Jailbreak-free account? Or stick to doing it the hard way? Please some opinions.
It's not worth the risk. The more trophy hacking gets done, the sooner Sony will clamp down. Plus we don't really know what Sony are doing about CFW accounts anyway. They could still be banning them.
