Finally Microsoft have decided to reward you for the endless amount of hours you have spent for nothing more than personal gratification and a larger ePenis in the form of your Xbox Live GamerScore.

Good move by Microsoft. I wish Sony would do the same thing for their Trophies, giving certain discounts in PlayStation Store after achieving certain amount of Trophies.

...................Well it's uhm something, i guess.​

Better than nothing and mounts up if you purchase a lot from the marketplace.

Yea i know, i just don't play for trophies or achievements, it's not what i buy games for, & i don't use them as bragging rights. ​

I much rather have in game unlockable rewards returned instead & be done with it. ​

I dont play for them either but its nice to get them and have them always on your profile rather than if you sell a game losing anything you gained from your time playing it.

Trophies & achievements aren't viewed the same by everyone. ​

I don't really care about them beyond the point i think it's nice getting something for having, i've said this to my friends loooooong ago as they thought the same thing, *Trophies & achievements are for show so why not get something for them* i personality wouldn't miss them if they were removed altogether because i rather games had actual in game unlockable rewards increasing content & adding more value for gamers instead of a small percentage off something else to spend money on. ​

The only thing i like about trophies & achievements is hearing the chime whenever i get 1 otherwise i see them as nothing more than cheap bragging rights.​

I use them for sometimes trying things I wouldnt usually in games, such as killing 10 enemies in a row with a knife or 4 people with one bullet etc. I dont go out of my way to get them as such but it gives me ideas to try out in games that wouldnt really come naturally in a normal playthrough.
