Codemasters is, sadly, the latest developer to be added to the list of those who won't be adding trophy support to their already released titles.

On the official GRID forums an administrator has posted saying that they're "currently not planning to restrospectively support PSN trophies - it;s not a trivial thing to add to a game" [sic].

Though this is disappointing, it's not too unexpected. Third party games are the least likely to be patched in. With Criterion showing their contemporaries, hopefully more will decide to rake in the goodwill of gamers by following suit.

Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of June 1st

PS3 News from N4G | Race Driver: GRID

PS3 - Race Driver: GRID - Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of June 1st

PS3 Fanboy writes: "You've got to wonder exactly what these publishers are thinking. In America, particularly, there are a silly amount of games coming out this week. With Metal Gear Solid 4's imminent release next week, these titles may well suffer as a result. Still, at least the very small percentage of PS3 gamers who don't pick up MGS4 will have plenty to keep them busy. Weirdos. Here's the full release list:

US Games:

GRID
Kung Fu Panda
The Bourne Conspiracy
Lego Indiana Jones
Incredible Hulk

EU Games:

Lego Indiana Jones
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit

Asian Games:

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit
FIFA Street 3
