Ahh this is good news, I was under the impression that your original name is permanently tied to your account in some way. This could mean that it is theoretically possible for us to buy names from other users.

Are there any PSNProfiles users who have actually gone through with it yet?

Same here. I was keeping hold of my copy in readiness for getting 100% with some new DLC content but making me play it all again, I'll pass.

As much as I'd love to play this I think I'll hold off until they fix it, here's hoping they do actually get around to it.

It looks as if nobody, not just PSNProfiles users, have attained the platinum. Is this a really long grind of a game or just so bugged that it's unachievable at this point?

Nice one, thank you.

Is this currently bugged or am I missing the idea of this trophy? I played through last night in one complete sitting (never quitting once) and yet this trophy never popped. I did pause the game a few times though. Does pausing negate the trophy?

Not sure if this helps at all but the trophy popped for me when opening my first GRE chest in a zone. So could be glitched in some way.

YAY!! Several million retries later and finally managed to force that once ball out.

Does anyone have any idea as to how to get out of this situation? I've tried numerous times to grab every ball and nudge all the balls at the right-hand side but I just can't grab/move any of them. Is there a way to reset the machine without starting a new game?

You don't have to go at full throttle, in fact at full throttle you won't make the tighter turns. I found I could make all the turns easily at about 80%, any less and you don't make the next ring in time. Hope this helps.

I struggled with this one too and presumed it was those planets that have tethers that grab hold of you and that you had to shake one of them off, I tried for hours to get caught by them and try different ways of breaking free. Eventually the trophy popped when breaking free of one of them so I can only assume it's a number of them you have to break free of or a certain movement. Just try and get caught by them and break free...a lot.

SMASH LANDING TROPHY: 1. Make sure you have a full fuel tank. 2. Fly through eight gold rings. You'll now speed up and have white "speed lines" at the edges of the screen. 3. Smash into a planet!
