The Official Playstation blog discusses the trophy system for Bioshock release on PS3. It looks like some of them will be hard to achieve:

For the true explorer, we present one of the more difficult Trophies to
get in all of Rapture. The “Historian” Trophy is awarded for finding
every single audio diary. This particular Trophy is Silver because we
understand the rigor required for this endeavor. If you’re a true
adventurer and seek to know the full story of the fall of Rapture, look
under every desk and open every door. There are many to find.

And then:

When considering how to use these Trophies to reward players, we chose
to give a respectful nod to those few who desire a challenge. We
believe that BioShock PS3 has a lot to offer in a single play through,
but we wanted to emphasize and reward a player’s second or third
descent into Rapture. This led us to create new Trophies that encourage
more advanced tactics and enemies that provide a greater challenge.
As a result of this thinking the first Trophy bears the name, “Brass
Balls”. If you desire to be among the few who have this prestigious
award on their mantle, you must win BioShock on Hard difficulty with the Vita-Chambers turned off . A feat so daring that anyone even glimpsing this formidable Trophy in
your glass case will be shaking with terror and respect.

If you have played Bioshock, you know the the crucial role of the Vita-Chambers. I’m betting some gamers are going to drive themselves totally bonkers trying for this trophy.
