How to unlock the Speed Demon achievement in Prince of Persia - Definitive Guide

1. Save twice before teleporting to the Temple at the end. Use one save to finish the game, and use the other to go after missing achievements.
2. Only look for 30 seeds per location before unlocking your last power (this will get you 530 seeds, but you need 540, so you'll need 31 from some locations)
3. Once you have 540 seeds, teleport. You'll get another 50 seeds and probably unlock the 600 seeds achievement easily.
4. Don't go after the "Runner" achievements until after you've beat the game.
5. I haven't gone for the "Combo" achievements, but I would put it off until after you're done to be sure.

If you allow your 360 to download the update for this title, you'll get both this achievement and Be Gentle With Her automatically. If you deserve the achievement, you'll get it before the (definitive) end credits start to roll. If you don't deserve it, as of the update you'll get the achievement after the credits.
Check the solutions and comments for the Be Gentle With Her achievement if you want to verify this.

There’s no way to track this but I got this one after just playing the game. Yeah, just playing, no speed run or skipping steps in the storyline. I also found 700 light seeds and sometimes just forget to pause the game while I was eating (I eat fast). So I think most people will get this by the end of their first playthrough.

GLITCHED (but in a good way)
This is a trophy which would have made the platinum in a single playthrough impossible if not for the Patch 1.01 trick. As with Be gentle with her, pay any attention to the limits this trophy requirement puts on you because as soon as you install Patch 1.01 your game time is totally reset back to zero. As per the Road Map, complete the game at your leisure and install the patch as stated at the right time. You will then have another full 12 hours in which to kill the final boss (a mere 10 minute affair) and take care of the aftermath. Note that this will not unlock until the final credits have rolled (which you can not skip but they only last about 5 minutes).
If you choose not to utilise the glitch then you will not be able to complete the game in a single playthrough due to the time it takes to get all 1001 Light Seeds but you only need 600 to fight the final boss and beat the game. It is possible to not have to do an entirely new playthrough if you speedrun through the game, collecting only the required 600 Light Seeds, making a final game save, backing it up somewhere, beating the game, popping this trophy then reloading your backed up save. This way you can freely obtain the remaining 401 Light Seeds. 12 hours is ample time really if you do it this way, just keep moving and reload your last manual save if you die too much or take too long on a boss fight or whatever else but each area should take about 30-40mins so 8-9 hours is the baseline.
