RE: Gamerscore, achievements, etc
At first it's like meh. But then damn! I want more out of this game. I've seen the pros and cons for achievements/Trophies and while they are valid there is really no harm in achievements. As the name says, you've achieved something in a game. They also add replay-ability to the game; extending the life span to complete these challenges set, though may not be necessary.

For example if you have if you have Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 on Xbox and Wii. On Wii you complete the game and there isn't much left to do. But on Xbox there's a challenge to beat the final stage of the game (7 bosses) without taking a single hit. It added an additional 2 hours to my total gameplay. Or if you get to Rank 100 (your wings) in Gears of War 2 you get an achievement for your Xbox profile. S'all good. Another good example of a challenge was Ninja Gaiden 2 which was play through the game using only one weapon (7 times through the game with each weapon in total). Gamers have been doing that for years such as: completing Zelda 1 using only bombs so now you get a bit of recognition for taking on a challenge.

At the moment is says I'm on 83,703 but (while typing) I'm playing Sonic '06(offline) so I'm now 84503K (when I log back in). I admit, I love achievements/trophies.

Edit: I'd like to add I'm a bit fugging pissed with Sonic Adventure DX. DLC achievements are glitched. many other people are having this problem too. >: (
