Xbox blazed the trail back in 2005 by introducing Xbox Live Achievements as a metagame whose cumulative score – Gamerscore – spans across games on every Xbox Live platform. Many of today’s gaming systems followed our model and now offer achievements or badges as well. With Xbox One, we are once again breaking the mold and this time, we want consumers to reap more tangible benefits. In addition to Gamerscore, which will remain as a critical part of the Xbox gaming experience (and yes, your Gamerscore from Xbox 360 will carry forward to Xbox One – there’s only ONE Gamerscore (see what I did there?)), consumers can now unlock digital artwork, new maps, unlockable characters, and temporary stat boosts via achievements. And this is not limited to games! Other Xbox One applications such as video and music apps can now use Achievements to bring you awesome sneak peek content, early access, or subscription extensions. Only games will give you Gamerscore.

I wish they'd give MORE rewards to repeat players. For instance I LOVE that when I bought Forza 4 it detected my level in Forza 3 and gave me about 30 or so free cars in my garage.
Rewards should be actual rewards.

I had soooo many achievements on my old account. :(

This is a great IDEA and I hope that it bleeds over to PS4 and they shamelessly copy it.
This would make me care a bit more about finishing games and finding the easter eggs or playing again for a second time to get everything.
Nice one Xbone

Or an extra month added to your Gold membership so some of it has monetary value in a sense.

Map packs would be a solid reward. Probably have to grind to get them but the overall concept is great. Makes sense for both parties.

Where is the guy who was switching to PS and trying to sell his 100K gamerscore account?

Well his gamertag just went from worthless to worth something. Might not be much but it's no longer "a trivial number" as he said. There's at least some type of value attached to it. What exactly it is we don't know. But hey...if he can "sell his gamertag" for a few dollars rather than just let his memebership expire and sit there it's a win for him IMO

Did I say that, moron?
ETA: But if you want to get technical about it he will be missing out on some free content.

This may not happen. They do give away MS points which I didn't think they would do either.

The only potential drawback is those little fricks who use the Horizon program to hack their way into achievements and a better gamerscore.
But I'm sure MS has a plan for that.

The underlying reason for "alway online" or "checking in" is no doubt to prevent hacking as much as possible. I hope it works!
