Microsoft gives highest Gamerscore holder lifetime Xbox Live Gold
Ray Cox IV, who goes by the Xbox Live Gamertag "Stallion83", currently holds the world record (confirmed by the Guinness company) for the highest Xbox Live Gamerscore. His goal is to reach the 1 million mark and as of Sunday, his Gamerscore on Xbox Live is now over 953,000. He has achieved such a huge score in part by playing Xbox 360 games that were not released for the U.S. market, along with Xbox Live scores that came from mobile games.
The final results impressed Microsoft so much, they invited Cox to attend the company's big Times Square launch event for the Xbox One this week. The Spike TV Xbox One launch show had Cox on camera talking with Microsoft's Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb about his accomplishment.
Hryb then surprised Cox with two gifts during the broadcast. One of the gifts was a rare white Xbox One launch team console. The other gift is something Microsoft has never given anyone else. Hryb handed Cox a box that inside contained the first ever lifetime Xbox Live Gold membership.
Cox was clearly in shock to be presented with such a unique item and later posted an image of the lifetime membership card on his Twitter feed, saying it was the "best gift ever" from the Microsoft Xbox team. By the way, another statement on his Facebook page claims that the card itself is 24k gold.

How has he played non US games? Do they reward like 10k G each? And the only mobile gaming app that rewards any gamerscore at all is Wordament as far as I know and overall you can get like 30G from that

N3PxCRuNkd3_AtmosGA_EliminatezTTgUNLIMITED If the player got this legit like I assume he did otherwise Microsoft wouldn't have given this him then it's good to see Microsoft giving back to the community who do special things that go unseen. I believe this user also has a YouTube channel that I seen a while back if I remember correctly.
Giving back to the community? This is the equivalent of you giving a homeless guy a penny or less.
Uh no, this would be the equivalent of giving a homeless man nearly $2400, taking into account that Xbox live exists 10 years from now. Or $3600 if it lasts for 15 years. Like it or not them handing that out is a big deal, its a big show of faith in their community and at the same time a stab at Sony for not having done anything like that as to this date.
a stab at sony who gave everyone free psn through the whole ps3 era lol
Yeah with the AMAZING psn servers lol
