I've got almost 20,000 Gamerscore, But I don't really care too much about my overall score. I just like it how, like 1000 points, if you have them all it's like knowing you've gotten 100% out of your game, But then some games like EArms and Fight night, even though I've got 1k on them both, I still play after i got them all. I never check my achivments when they pop-up, i just notice my score going up gradually.

Yeh i dont play my xbox360 that much, but i would just like to state that my gamerscore is at a respectable level (23,000) and i would play my xbox for around 15 hours each week. I havent really found a game to compete with halo 2, but rainbow six 3 and gears comes close. Im a gamerscore whore, lets all admit it!

The reason kids can get alot of gamerscore so quickly is because all we need to do is go to school and do homework…The rest of the day we just play. And alot of kids parents *like me* wont get them xbl yet, so all they have to do is play the games they currently have and just get everything in it. like for me, I got every achievement I can get in GoW. i just need the 3 "Dom" awards. and CoD3 i got everything in it except beat the game on veteran. and just 2 other games, i got 2200 gamerscore in total with 99 achievments. I know thats a little bit for now, but when your mom wont even let you use your own money to buy your self like 2 games….what else do you have to do…anyway this is how we get gamerscore really quick.

Oh and it's also becuase we dont have jobs.

I love the achievements system, it adds so much more replay value to games!

I am a Gamerscore Junkie. In fact I joined GameFly just to feed my addiction. In fact I will play games just to get the Achievement points. I finding boosting enjoyable and sometimes essential. In fact just as rewarding as completing a game without it. I agree that I have not touched my other dozen game systems because…well…let face it….there are no Gamerscore points involved. I'm addicted and I love.

@EteRnal PAL: Yeah, the whole "Entitlements" rumor is just lame. Let's hope it is just a rumor. That's a pretty sick score! I'm stoked about approaching 7,000 which should happen by the time I'm finished Dead Rising. @Derek: I'm starting to wonder when Sony is going to let the cat out of the bag. I mean, we're only 3 months away from the PS3 launch and they haven't showed anything viable yet. All we have is pre-rendered trailers, Blu-ray and rumors. It's going to take a lot to turn some heads at this point - you'd think they'd want to get on that ASAP.

Impressive gamerscore! I don't put it past Sony to to something like that. Didn't they pull that stunt with the vibration abilities in their PS2 controller? and didn't they get caught for stealing it? I hear the entire "online system" through the PS3 is completely a mock up of Xbox Live. The one thing I can say that would be good about having Sony systems online would be the fact that Sony owns some very big companies, like movie and music companies. So having the ability to download movies and music to the PS3 would be really awesome. Maybe they'll throw in a browser? That would be cool wouldn't it?

I love the achievement system. Rumor has it that Sony is going adopt the achievement system and call it "entitlements". My gamerscore is at 15,818 at the moment. The player with the most gamerscore in the world currently stands at 57,000+.

Anyways, my gamertag is EteRnal PAL if anyone ever wants to get some games in. Whether it be Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Table Tennis, GRAW, Uno, LOTR: BFME II, Prey, etc. Microsoft did a fine job on creating the Xbox 360.

I really want a 360 and am looking forward to getting one, but I sadly am stuck with dialup (as I keep saying), so Live is a bit out of reach.

Congratulations on your score.
