Gamer scores are a way to track bragging rights, and the addiction level of the player. Gamer scores have no actual value other than bragging rights, and each game decides how to allocate gamer scores. Live Arcade games have lower gamer scores for completing them because they are meant for the casual gamer, though some people would disagree on the casual part. Gamer scores will most likely not be a form of currency in any way, not even to unlock bonus parts of games or to earn Xbox Live content.
