I've had LIVE (not always Gold) since it went public and only have 37, 981.
Gamerscore was big deal to me for about a year. Now I just see them as challenges I go after when/if I'm in the mood. MP achievements not so much. I like seeing my score above friends that do care anout it. if they pass mine then they pass it. I no longer care.
