I have around 60000. A fair amount of that is from rented games that where I completed the main story and hence got about 700G but most of the games I own (excluding games that have ridiculous achievements like Gears 2 or GTA IV) I have completed 100%. The game I have the most G on would be Halo 3 since it has 1750G so it's an automatic winner. I do like to go for achievements when they're fun but, like I said, some games can just fuck off.

The Escapist has a leaderboard if you're interested: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/rosters?profile_roster=xbox_live - I'm near the top of page 5 now although I remember a time when I was high up on the first page.
Thanks for the link, I wasnt aware of that!

Im on 60k. I guess they all add up over time. Every barrier start with a 9. So 19, 29, 39 etc. Those last 1000 to get to the next big number are the worse.

I've got about 1k GS, mind you I've only played a little bit of Fallout 3, Gears of War PC (WWWHYYYYYY!?) and I've cleared the single player of Dawn of War II and Chaos Rising.

617 ACHIEVEMENTS EARNED
12,230 MICROSOFT GAMERSCORE
77 xbox360 games (45 disc + 32 arcade)

I'll sometimes go slightly out of my way to earn an achievement, but I'm not an achievment hunter. Though I will actively pursue them if I'm near 100%, unless I decide the final achievement is impossible enough to not be worthwhile (see portal(xbox360) - out of the blue achievement).

According to my profile, my GS is 16,018. Oddly specific number...

Anyway, it will continue to arbitrarily climb while being studiously ignored by me. The day I relegate game enjoyment to a number that no one sees, it will be the day to pack up the Xbox. (Same goes for the PS3 and its bizarre, other-worldly trophies.)

Can someone please explain why GS is so vital? I understand getting certain achievements for unlocks etc. but hunting for and *grinding* out others purely to increase a meaningless number, what's the point?

Before I sold my X-Brick there were time I'd be playing CoD4 and occasionally people I was doing better than would hurl abuse at me on the basis that I had a lower GS than they and therefore I must have been cheating. I realise that's not the mentality of most people on XBL but it certainly wasn't a one-off.

I've got 20290 gamerscore.

The biggest individuals chunks of that come from the Mass Effect series, Assassin creed series, and Oblivion (highest at 1220 gs), as those games are more about narrative achievements than skill achievements.

0. None at all. No 360, and only 2 GFWL games, that bizarrely, don't allow me to unlock the achievements. Yeah.

I think I'm 36000, but I might be closer to 40,000 all I know is that I'm not above 40,000.
I have a fair few games with over 1000 gamerscore, but the game with the most I think is Left 4 Dead 2 thanks to all the lovely DLC achievements.

I've got about 47,000. I hate the fact that I have an odd gamerscore, i.e. not 5 or 0.
