I want to turn off achievements
Back in October last year I wrote a post about what I think about achivements in games.
http://arcadeberg.com/causerie/achievements/ (24/8/09)
I was thinking about it today, don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know.
Anyway, in addition to what I wrote then, I'm thinking that I want to be able to turn off Achievements for the 360 and the Trophies for the PS3. They keep updating the Dashboard with Rating and stuff, so just add me the feature to turn off public display of my Achievements.
If I don't want to be part of this incredibly silly competition, I shouldn't have to. The problem is, as stated earlier, that if I'm in the competition (even if not by choice) it's hard not to compete.
So a really simple solution, give the option not to participate. Please Mr. Microsoft.

Eh.. you realize that you’re telling them that their plan is working.. but they should stop?
In simple terms: Not. Gonna. Happen.

@Jesper
The plan has a negative effect on me, actually. I’ve never bought a game for 360 instead of PS3 thanks to the achievements. However, I have bought games for the PS3 just to get rid of them.
And the games I do get for the 360, I find it annoying. Hence, they ruin some of the fun for me.
But yes, they ARE successful, I’m aware of that. I state that in my text as well.
And I think so to, about it not going to happen… Unfortunately.
