It's a wee bit crazy that Microsoft deal with irregularities in Gamerscore. I don't think Sony would ever do this but given the fact that you have to pay for Xbox Live Gold, I suppose it gives some gamers out there (who care!
) assurance that it is a level playing fieldDeleted member 651465

Caught doing what? All it says was he earned the achievements while offline. Since when (and why) does that count as cheating...
He earned achievements that you could only achieve online through co-op or online races or whatever, but they were achieved/activated offline. So he cheated.

What about if you transfer a profile with online achievements from one console to another, while offline?

I assume the date achieved would still be at an earlier time when you were online

you assume
While he may well be cheating the date stamps could just as easily be corrupted while making the transfer
But then at the same time where there is smoke...

Since the achievements go to the XBL profile assuming that he had been online at some point then the data would be uploaded to the XBL servers with the time stamps etc. So it wouldn't matter surely if he did a data transfer while offline as when he put that console online the profile data would pair up with what was on the XBL servers.
If of course he had never been online then he of course had been cheating. Simples (if badly explained)

The Cheat label has been around for sometime. Biron I know someone that you have played alongside on MW2 back in the day that was caught and he started a new account. We ragged the **** out of him for it, it was so funny.

Kinda funny.
Makes me think of that guy with like the green skinned avatar when they were doing the console bans and he asked on the forum why he was banned.

how are these people cheating? can you get hacks for consoles now?
Been around for a long time now.
I believe it's by using JTAGing or Mod chips? not to sure though.
We had some fooligan on here a while back complaining about losing all his gamerscore. He was adamant he'd not been cheating. Someone checked his profile and found out he'd scored about 5000 points in a day in properly hard games.
Meh, I've averaged about 1000 a month since I got my 360.
