I'm way more interested in the idea of seeing which achievements are met and which are not. I'm more of a completionist, so getting all the achievements makes me feel like I've played the game to it's fullest. I could honestly care less how high my gamerscore gets.
Good example: I played both Burnout Revenge and Hitman Blood Money until my hands fell off, but I only earned half the achievements in both.
One upside to all of this is the fact that I very good amount of the iPhone user base are just ordinary people. I know and have talked to soo many people at my school and in my community, whom all own iPhones, that have no idea what or how to jailbreak a phone. The same people who will pay for all their apps.
This is just a large blow to the minority group of iPhone users (jailbreakers).
