Whoever buys this will officially be the biggest loser on earth to date.
Actually, whoever thinks having a high gamerscore is impressive, is also very lame. Impressing other nerds with points isn't cool guys, sorry.

1.3 - hmmm
im seeing this in a different angle...while most, if not all, of you are thinking that this is about the gamerscore...im seeing this as him trying to get profit AND a new gamertag account
he wants the email and email password to supposedly only let him recover the gamertag to his xbox...but what is stopping him from changing the password for the email once he has it...THEN he will have your email (with personal contacts/other passwords/etc) and your gamertag w/ whatever time your have left with your gold membership (if you have gold)
seeing as how he can easily change the password to the email account (and secret question) you wont be able to recover it back to your own xbox
either way...i feel real sorry for anyone that falls into these scams for the pride points...ive only got 1700 or so gamerpoints...lol

1.4 - This is a scam
@MrAnonymous - You're absolutely right, this is the first thing I thought after I read the article. I would stop reading this ebay ad right after I'd see "give me your email login and password".
And as nice as this article is to read, I'm surprised that the author didn't say a word about the possibility of a scam. I know it wasn't about that but still...
Here's a thought: I can see people paying harcore gamers to come over to their houses and actually play on their consoles. It's still lame and I'd never do it myself but makes more sense. Someone might actually learn something :)

and saw somebody auctioning several accounts with 22000 gamerscore for $10. Couldn't believe it. Aren't achievements supposed to be unlocked when YOU reach a particular goal.

really??
the fun of this whole achievements or trophies thing is that you earn it yourself,it's like a badge of honor
buying it is just retard
the best achievement that I've ever earned in my life is THE HIGH MILE CLUB ACHIEVEMENT IN CALL OF DUTY 4
you feel like a real champion when you unlock it
I got 1000 points in cod 4 and still waiting for more to come
we want an update infinity ward

5.2 - oh people disagreeing with my previous comment
well i know there is a way of finding out when achievements where unlocked if you are online at the time of playing and i was online all the time i was playing so feel free to have a look at my profile, if your disagreeing with the asking for help, i cant prove it because the messages automatically delete after a month but i could prob say a few names on my friends list who have asked me so stop being jelous.
[EDIT]
just checked my profile and i was wrong, i didnt get all the achievements in 3days because once i had completed the game i didnt bother getting all the intel until a couple days later.

5.3 - @Ape...Agreed..
Same here, but it took me 2 or 3 days to get the mile high club and was frustrating as hell to say the least. But one of the best ones i've done so far. I'm still at 750 or so points as i gv up on last few levels on vetern since they were already very hard on hardend and i cant waste so much time and effort again. I'm happy with BF:BC for now.

There were people doing this 6 monthes after the 360's release.
On topic, I wouldn't pay someone to have the enjoyment that I could be having. I imagine the only people that take advantage of this are the people involved in those gamerscore contests that pop up from time to time.

The point of Achievements is to earn them not buy them.

It's so cute how ps3-only fanboys always find some way to bring the ps3 into every articles comments section. I love my ps3 but I can't imagine how much it would suck to own just that console.
You guys spend all your time on here making every possible attempt to sling all the mud you can at the 360 and constantly call the ps3 superior when it really isn't. It's less than or at best equal.
The PS3 is amazing in theory but in reality it's just a fancy dvd player in-between great exclusive releases in most multi-console households. It always gets the graphically inferior version of every multi plat and even the exclusives are pretty with amazing draw distances but have have poor textures close up.
The weaker gpu was a horrible idea and it's a little late in the game to still be blaming developers when even Kojima with MGS4 (while it was a gorgeous and amazing game) had crap textures (look at the diamond plated steel floor sections and tell me I'm wrong). If even he couldn't show how superior the PS3 is then who can or will?
I've beaten every single exclusive so far this round for playstation and around 20 multi-plats just to give the system the benefit of the doubt but so far it hasn't proved itself at all.

15.4 - @15.3 im a ps3 owner
but im a gamer first anyways my favorite achievement was on dead rising the one that you have to walk on the zombies heads for a certain distance. and the one in pac-man were you have to eat all for ghost with one power pellet i believe its four time in one level please correct if wrong and does anyone know the exact amount of feet in dead rising? let me know
btw why do people need to defend their console by bashing others? its all games just play what you like and screw what other people think. play on my fellow gamers play on
