Is the gamer spotlight on the dashboard, fake?

I was wondering, because the current feature gamertag is PMS Stargirl. It says her favorite multi-player is Halo Reach, favorite single player is Condemned.

She has been subscribed to XBL for 5 consecutive years, and has just under 6,000 gamer score. Kinda odd for a 5 year vet to have just 6,000 gamer score right?

Well, I compared games with her. (I have a library of 50 360 titles retail alone, let alone the dozens more I've rented and at least gotten 1 achievement in) and she has no achievements whatsoever when I compare games, WTF?

She has none for Halo Reach. If a person played even the smallest amount of reach to enjoy its multiplayer, they'd get some achievements. Same goes for her favorite single player game, Condemned.

It says she hasn't been offline for too long, but I wonder, is this a fake profile made by MS or something? I mean, 6000k gamer score is very low for someone who possibly has had a 360 since launch, has Halo Reach as their favorite game but has no achievements for ANYTHING

Am I missing something here?

6,000,000 gamerscore is not small...

but otherwise, it does seem a little suss, probs just fake accounts created by MS :P

i wouldnt say its fake but more like they are just picking people at random.

You can hide your achievements from others, I believe. RoslindaleOne

One of my Xbox Live friends was in the gamer spotlight once, so I'm fairly certain that it is real. (Unless my XBL friend is fake!)

You can hide your achievements so that only friends can see them. And if someone only plays a couple games, s/he isn't going to have a large gamerscore. Doesn't make him/her any less of a "gamer".

Plus, the PMS clan is pretty large and I don't think they would allow someone to pretend to be a Halo community manager.

Also:

One of my friends was on it so no it's not fake. Some people just don't care about gamerscore and some people prefer to just sink a lot of time into one game instead of constantly swapping and a game maxes out at 1000G (not counting dlc) so those people tend to have low gamerscores.

I have a friend on my friends list who has had gold for 6 years and only has around 1 or 2k gamerscore. 2ndWonder

Perhaps not. I have about 30k from a variety of games since launch and I actually don't play much. Some of my friends never bother digging out of the 3-7k range and they spend hours playing Forza 3, SFIV, Madden, Halo, Gears and COD everyday.

While I don't think there is some kind of MS consipracy here, I'd believe that some of the people picked don't exist. I don't remember the name but I've looked up one of the spotlight people before and couldn't find them on xbox.com. Said the GT didn't exist.

ive been a 360 member for about 5 years and dont even have over 10k Gamerscore. Gamerscore means absolutely nothing.

Gamerscore means nothing. CoD hasn't hadcompetitive multiplayerachievements (worth anything) since CoD 3. If you only played that series online you would have zero gamerscore, even if you've been a gamer for 4+ years. Even if you played CoD 3 you could stilljust not play ranked matches and never get achievements.

does he ever play?Rican-Prodigy

LOL, You can't judge people based on their gamerscore. Some of us have significant others, jobs, and higher education to worry about :lol: . That said, I have been a member of Live since December and my gamerscore is 1700 and something. I game quite a bit, but my gamerscore is nowhere near the top of my list of priorities. I'm sure that Microsoft looks at various factors when choosing the spotlight person. Someone who has been a member of Live for a while, has a good player rating, makes a significant number of purchases, etc.

mmm I hae gf who I see pretty often, I have an 8 hour job and plenty of csocial activities, still I have the time to play, so no, gamerscore is not related to the ammount of time someone hasdoubalfa
