Perhaps there should be a min % of max gamerscore unlocked before a game becomes platinum. I see many platinum retail games where the high gs is well under 500. The lower the initial platinum gamerscore, the more chances for it to change hands. Thus people will be scoring a ton of league points from platinums. League scoring will become unbalanced.

I'll admit I thought it sucked when I lost my Mega Man 9 plat due to there being fewer members this season. But, I'd rather wait a while, or even never, for it to reach 10 users than see a game like NBA LIVE 06 get a plat. So if I ran out and rented that game I could get 7 league points next week? The min 10 user plat rule prevents some terrible games from ever becoming a plat. There's a reason why some of these games will never see 10 users.

edit: I just realized no one will ever be able to match Areseris in NBA LIVE 06 because EA shut down the servers. So this game will be a plat forever...

I will look at what I can do...

From the feedback I received, I think the idea of a % of completion before it is considered and excluding games where you can no longer obtain the platinum fits in the feedback received earlier...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone on the platinum changes...

I have further updated the platinums and the rules to try and address everything... 

The rule changes are now as follows:

     1) Minimum of 5 gamers

     2) Less then 34% of gamers have the maximum number of achievements available

     3) The game is not part of a licensed sports or licensed movie release

     4) Someone must have more then 70% of attainable gamerscore in the game

     5) Achievements necessary to get the platinum are all available to be attained

Nice changes, Machina still ahead of me but without me he wouldn't have Limbo or L4D2 and he didn't help me earlier with SC:C so I'm actually ahead

By my reckoning I should get a platinum for NFS: HP next week. Nice. :)

YES! I got Rock Band 3 platinum, and I got back Guitar Hero 2 and Metallica back.

I will soon have Beatles Rock Band, Rock Band, and i'm gonna shoot for Guitar Hero 5, and World Tour as well (although they will be much harder to get!)

EDIT: I should also have the original Rock Band platinum right now as I am tied with the leader. http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=fuqOUABY&gt=&g=350&z=&c=&x=75&y=12

EDIT 2: I should Rent GH Aerosmith again and get 40 more achievement points so I can get the platinum on that one too.

Smash Hits is impossible to get 70% of the achievements on so i'm not even gonna try that one.

I like these changes a lot.

Sounds good Neo.  I didn't feel that strongly either way so I didn't comment.  TA seems to be coming back up.  Shows Bknight2k getting some achs and my gs updated.

If TA continues to work then we will be able to do scores from it this week...  Excellent...

Also, I have taken the doing of platinums from just over two hours of my effort down to 10 minutes of my effort on a weekly basis.  I am now the MS Access and Excel Spreadsheet integration wizard...  I should start that up as a side business...  Maybe not...

hmm i have 865 points or something for mass effect 2... would ia qualify for platinum? Or have too many people finished 100 percent?
