Playfire.com has launched a new version of their popular PS3 Trophy card. The new card updates your Trophy information (PSN level, Number of trophies, etc.) automatically without requiring anything other than your PSN username. In addition, the Playfire Trophy card has received a complete visual overhaul making it a trim 20% smaller than the official card.

Playfire has significantly upgraded its theming system to now allow users to update their Trophy card backgrounds with any image they like from their desktop. The theming makes customising the Trophy card really simple. By using an in-browser cropping tool all you have to do is upload an image you like and then reposition and resize it until it looks just right in the real-time preview.

In addition to the new automation and custom background theme features, Playfire has added a bunch of new features to the card such as PSN Level progression percentage, your leaderboard position, and your country flag.

Some examples in action:

    @ Jrod -- Actually it works just as well for US members and EU members.

    It doesn't work for me and I am a EU member.

    Guess I'll have to do with the portable ID created

    by PSN, which are also nice imo.

    I have an NA account and it works fine for me, but I also signed up on the EU PSN site, so maybe you need to do that too?

    FWIW, it is convenient, but less functional.  The best part of the old system was being able to see what trophies I didn't have on any particular game, including the hidden ones.  Now it's just a trophy card which looks nice but doesn't do me any more than the official PSN one does.  In fact, the PSN one is now better for referencing what trophies I have and don't have.

    I can't make a game card because my account is for the NA, nice screwing up again. Guess I will stick with something that is sueful and works, my GamerTag! Get your S**T together!!
