Default PS3 steals from the 360. 360 steals from Wii.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/...s-in-game-xmb/
A new PLAYSTATION 3 firmware update (v2.36) will be launching soon, improving system stability when playing select PlayStation format software titles. We’re also happy to officially report that the 2.40 system software update for PS3 will include “XMB” access in-game. The update will also include “trophies,” an exciting new feature that we’ll be providing more details on soon, as well as some other new enhancements. We’ve talked about some of this on the blog previously and know that many of you can’t wait to get your hands on these features. You can expect us to share all of the official details shortly
Trophies = 360's Achievement Points

I don't consider it stealing, when you could make your own avatar like creature in a lot of different games. The wii just utilized it uniquely, in addition, the achievements thing was used prior to that in different MMO's to get people addicted to playing games and stick with them.

I think it's great the PSN is evolving, it's ridiclous they don't have in-game communications with other friends...but for having a free network I can't complain
