Is it this one: Buy An Achievement -- Buy the K1,000,000 gamer picture (20G)?

Maybe it's using game money from the game...

I don't think so....1,000,000 Kudos is points you get for various thing while driving...you can't buy anything with kudos.

You build up 1,000,000 Kudos points in Project Gotham 4, in-game,then you unlock an exclusive Gamer pic, in an in-game store.

20G is the reward you get for buying the gamer picture - using Microsoft points.

You should edit the title of your thread to something like: 'Microsoft charges for achievements' or something. That will get better attention.

Unfortunatly, Kudos are just points and can not be used to buy anything. You have to use Microsoft points to buy stuff...like this achievement....

Nah..I have a 360...it says BUY an Achievement...PGR3 had no currency....and it's a gamer pic, so you have to buy it using MS points.

This is something you buy in game that is hard to get, it won't use MS points.

Even if it was though who the hell are you to tell me what to do with my money?

I buy lots of stuff should I ask your permission first?

Save your indignation for something that matters.

"In PGR 4, kudos will be more than a point of pride--you'll be able to spend them in the PGR Shop to unlock new race events, tracks, cars, helmets and accessories, and special treats such as filter effects, and a special PGR 4 gamer picture. "

K = Kudos. PGR fans know that. Why would you buy a gamer picture saying you got 1 mill kudos? Also you know Forza online has $$$ to spend not from single player. who says you cant spend online kudos?

Where does it say you have to buy MS points or use real currency? 360 games have this cool feature you cows are unfamiliar with where you can unlock gamerpics by doing certain things...I don't see why you couldn't buy one in an in-game store. :?

Please kill this thread, the OP is misinformed, you do not buy the gamer-pic on the marketplace, you buy it in-game with Kudos.

That simple.

Why is this thread still going it is bought with IN_GAME KUDOS(MONEY)? /thread

Buy the K1,000,000 gamer picture (20G)

K stands for Kudos (racing points you build up /money for doing slides, winning races, etc). You need 1,000,000 kudos to buy the pic and get the achievement. Again /thread

"PGR Shop: This time around, Kudos is king. Everything is purchased through your in-game Kudos... there are no credits, and no cash. Your kudos is spent in the PGR Shop, and it's not just new vehicles that feature here. Track packs, new game modes, cheats, gamerpics etc. can all be found here (providing you have the Kudos of course!). The two cooler examples we showed at Leipzig are the "3d glasses cheat", which allows you to render your Photo Mode pics in true red/blue 3d style, and the "Gamer Picture Pack". The latter costs a cool 1,000,000K (by far the most expensive item in the shop), and gives you a single gamer pic for your Xbox 360 profile. If you see anybody online with this pic, you know they've got more Kudos than sense!"

Nice job spreading lies do some research before you post.

From the list itself, one of our favourites is the previously mentioned "Buy an Achievement". This which is given to those players who save up all of their in-game Kudos and use it to buy the most expensive item in the shop: the K1,000,000 gamer picture. Not only do you get points, but you also get an image for your profile which proves that you officially have more Kudos than sense!

Correct me if I am wrong but you must buy a 360 game first in order to get the achievements for it, so technically they charge you for all the achievements.

I don't think so....1,000,000 Kudos is points you get for various thing while driving...you can't buy anything with kudos.

You can buy ingame things with kudos. It's like earning cash in guitar hero and such to unlock more guitars. I hope it's not real cash, I don't think it is.
