This is rediculous! Are people that insecure about their score?!

Click and scratch your head in confusion

$40 for 500 points? Rent a sports game for $6!

That's crazy! These people are making a killing with this, I bet. I heard of people doing this on the PC, with WOW and such... but what's the point if you didn't earn the gamerscore?

SpOoNmAn · 10-03-2006, 10:19 PM

I am honestly bewildered and befuddled. Holy bojangles batman!! This just doesnt make any sense!!

Woundup · 10-03-2006, 10:20 PM

oh yeah, I just signed up for the 3,000 point plan and it only cost me $300 what a deal. LOL that is crazy. I mean I will admit I am a bit of a gamerscore freak but everything I have earned on my own time. I don't see how it would be entertaining to have someone else play for you to achieve points totally retarded.

KEEZY · 10-03-2006, 10:21 PM

For sure. I'm a GSW (gamerscorewhore), but only because I earn the points. I like the sense of accomplishment... even if it just means I've accomplished sitting in front of the TV for hours

I wouldnt be in this hobby if I didnt get a sense of accomplishment. Staining shorts along the way with a creepy game is always fun.

I should stop trying to understand how people would pay someone that much $$ just so it shows more points in their profile

Hello, my name is Rhino and I am a gamerscoreaholic...I used to have the nice cars, a house, a woman who loved me.....now all I have is this....this score...and it is never good enough.....I paid for point after point...I went into debt...I lost my job....I....aaaaaahhhhhhhwrrggghhh.

Ok, I thought that I had seen it all, until I clicked on that link....the craziest part is I bet that people are paying for this...and it may be funny now, however some day, in the year 2020, when MS has taken over the know universe and Bill Gates clones rule the planets from strange spheres that magnify their height (and cranial proportions), when gamerscores are the only real currency, we will need biometric readouts on our controllers to quell this fraudulent activity; just think about what that will do to the price of a new wireless controller. Until then I just have to shake my head in incredulity, and take my had off to Spoon for unearthing yet another nugget of humor to liven up my day

Dude - that's the most phenomenal business plan I've heard of in a long time. Imagine this - someone PAYS YOU to play a game for them. That's genius!!! Oh yeah, not so genius for the saps who are paying someone to play their games. But dangit, why didn't I think of this!!!

KEEZY · 10-03-2006, 10:45 PM

Alright... sorry to be, well myself, but I have to jump off topic, lest my brain will explode pondering why people do things: Rhino, how did you get your gamercard to say Chillout? Cujo's is in Japanese or something. What gives?

Rhino Chaser · 10-03-2006, 10:48 PM

Well, to put the post back on topic, you would have to pay me to tell you that. Here is my paypal info: suckersputyourmoneyhere@paypal.com

After your payment is received, your account will be accessed by one of our gaming professionals, and we will begin leveling your gamerscore. This process will start within 1-48 hours depending on your specific needs. During the leveling process, you may login to our secure members area to view the progress on your account. Once the process is completed, you will receive an email letting you know your account is ready to go.

Wow. So you have to give them all your LIVE account info, so they can sign in as you.

Yeah, that's a GREAT idea.

It just goes to show you, those scores mean nothing on Leaderboards, I just use it to show people how little of a life I have.

If small pee-pee's are the real issue, then purchasing a higher Gamerscore is definitely the answer.

ProPain · 10-04-2006, 08:21 AM

he said pee-pee

dmiller68 · 10-04-2006, 08:28 AM

I've been looking for ways to get quick points but this seems stupid... $300 would buy you 5 games new or 7-8 old ones... You play half or less of each game and you have 3000 points and a lot of fun...

WormholeXtreme · 10-04-2006, 09:22 AM

500 points is $40 but 1000 points is $100?!

SHIBUMI · 10-04-2006, 09:27 AM

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!! I want in on some of that action!!!

Maybe we should undercut them and offer a similar service via PGL! 3000 GPs for *only* $199!

I'll gladly take $200 from anyone that wants me to rent some titles (NBA, King Kong), lower the AI and run through game in an hour or so. They claim over 80,000 customers so far?!? Insane!!

I'd quit my day job for a gig like that!

BRILLIANT!

Honestly, I have a hard time believing if Microsoft is actually OK with this. I'd have to re-read the TOS, (which I won't do) but it seems like charging for something like this wouldn't be allowed.
