do you get anything for achievements

i just got a 360 a month ago and well do you get anything like microsoft points or something if you reach a certien amount

You get a sense of personal pride knowing that persistent onlineevidence exists of some of your funnest and most challenging gaming moments, or some of your most embarrassing games played.

Yeah, they are basically for show..

They should give you something for getting so much GS. Like when you reach 10000 you get to pick from like 3 arcade games to download and when you get your first 100% in a game you can get something.

I agree with Dawq902,I have thought it a lot of times ,but I dont think that this will ever happen

yeah but the only downfall to that is all the people that played that stupid avatar game would get 1000 in like 2 mins

what they should do is ,for example if you manage to reach 1000 on Bionic Commando,thats coming out in a few weeks, allow you to buy Bionic Commando rearmed for free or something like that with Street fighter 4 and other games

When you reach 1000000, Bill Gates will personally deliver ice cream to your home

you get more reasons to play a game longer than you normally would without the achievements

nope, just bragging rights with your friendsjrabbit99

if you have any of course.

istill dont get why some people think they deserve a reward for playing a video game

this is true. the one thing that they should do though is at least when you beat a game, they should reward you with like a gamerpic or cheats or something,nothing too big like a free game download. just a lil sum sum

thats what i dont get. if you dont get any thing for gs then why even bother trying to get gs? I'm not saying that i'd avoid an acheivment its just that i dont understand those people who just care about acheivments and not the game itself, like i know people who buy games strictly to get points. i mean...get a life

That is a negative

No, a bit silly, in my opinion. ;)

Some games purposly give out easy achievements. It's just a number that all gamers look at at some point. Admit it. Everyone has spent the time to simply get achievements at some point or another. It's the nerdy sense of pride that lies within every gamer.

yeah i could care less about free games or ms points but alot more in game rewards or stuff like your avatar's clothes would be nice to redeem.

If you don't care about GS then that's perfectly fine. I have been guilty of caring more about points than the game itself *cough* avatar *cough*. What I don't get is that you don't seem to understand or share in the competitive spirit. That ALONE fuels most people to get their score ever-higher. Yes, easy achievements somewhat detract from this point but even that is part and parcel to the competition - everyone can do the easy ones, but who can do the hardest ones? I STILL don't have the Mile High Club achievement, but some of my friends do, so it compels me to continue to try to get that one instead of just giving up in frustration (and PLEASE no conceited comments about how "easy" that achievement was to get ... if it was easy to get everyone who played COD4 would have it).

Your comment about how people like me who strive to add to their GS should get a life is an easy dismissal but I am sure people who work hard, play hard and live hard probably have more going on than you think.

You didn't get anything for gaming before achievements existed. And obviously someone who doesn't game for the exact same reasons you do needs to get a life. :roll:

Some people may get the following from achievements..

1. Bragging rights
2. Personal satisfaction
3. An Addiction
4. In some games achievements actually do unlock stuff.
