PSN Is Becoming A Real World Of Warcraft?

I don't know why they called this "Quests" when "Real World PSN Trophies" would have suited it better. I mean as of today (12/7) there are nine of these things that are as simple as watching Pulse or traveling to places in Home. Or my favorite is "play a Move game that we have on our list of eligible games for the Move." That is only a third of what they have planned here. The mind only boggles at what else there could be for us gamers to go out and do for "exclusive" avatars and themes down the line.

Not really.

I figured it would only be a matter of time for this. Just curious when the collection "quests" and travel "quests" are going to be added. You know like "I Checked In At The Sony Booth At CES!" or "I Went To SOE's Fan Faire!" I just wonder what the reward for the "Quest" of "I Converted A XBox/Wii/PC Gamer To The Fold." would garner for those so adamant to boost their tier. I guess we'll all see when everything goes public in April 2011.

Oh, and in case you wanted to see what those first nine are thus:
