okay, so you know how when you go look at your overall gamer score on xbox.com on your gamer profile, and it has ##### out of #####. well, it severely bothers me how games that i've trial downloaded affect my TOTAL gamerscore...is there anyway to get those games deleted? i mean obviously, if i don't buy them, i delete them off my console's memory but this does nothing reflected on xbox.com. maybe it's just a lost cause :(
p.s. also it bothers me how if a friend sticks in a game and never plays it again and it affects my total gamerscore
*vents about nothing* :uzi:

Unfortunately, trials before the fall update can not be deleted. Retail games can never be deleted. Oh, how I wish I could get Blazing Angels off my card...

So what would happen if you downloaded the trail again? Would it still stay on or would it be erased, just something I've been wondering since the update but haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

You should try it and let us know.

Nope, doesn't work. I tried starting the game, playing it and deleting it, but it just stays where it was when you first tried the trial

Blazing angels was so easy! Anyways, you can't remove them. I even tried calling Microsoft and ended up on the phone for god knows how long. Apparently no one has that kind of access or power to remove it. It was honestly the most bullshit answer I've ever received. Well at least now you can try Arcade trials and it won't go on your card. Woot?
You can always do what I did, and make a new card. Haha, except my "L" is now an "I". Looks dumb but that's what I pay for playing a bunch of games I'll never complete on my card.
Just looked at your card and wow yeah. 56 games and only 8K to show for it? Ouch. Atleast it's not as bad as playing 350 games and only have 25,000. Bwhaha.

Wow, I'm sure that they can something about it with an update or something, just haven't gotten around to it *hope*
Yeah out of those 56 games....6 are friends games that they threw in to play on my console for about 10-20 minutes (so 6000 gs) and 15 are arcade game trial downloads (3000 gs)....so 9000 gs that shouldn't be there *tear*
i mean 8350 out of 25510 is better than 8350 out of 34550 right?
grrrrrrrr

It bugs me too, especially if the game has unattainable achievements (Smash TV *cough*), so that it's especially limiting me.
I understand the frustration
I have a few games where i have less than 100 points, and because i rented them the discs were in poor condition and i wasn't able to finish playing them :(
This includes:
Spider-Man 3
XMen The Official Game
Star Trek Legacy
Pimp My Ride
Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires
World Snooker Championship
My score ratio would be so much better if i could delete those :( I may have to rent them elsewhere though and play them through again

Well for the arcade games yeah that was pretty annoying, got caught a couple times at first when i first got live but figure out an easy way to get rid of that. Download them on a second acount, play the demo version on that account, if it sucks, it dosen't appear on your real gamercard and if its good, you buy it. So i have maybe 4 arcade games with 0, on that 2 i will probably get sometimes when i have extra cash, like castlevania, its just it never came the right time for me to buy it(good new arcade games, or no cash to buy points) and 2 i will probably never buy, wich bother me a little bit but well...
as for friend games or games i am most unlikely to play in the futur, yeah again got a couple of those when i first had the lives. One of my friend with no lives came home with all his games that could be played online and on that there was a bunch of games i am not realy into like PGR3 for exemple, i rented dead rising wich i tought would rules and got disapointed, so im stuck at 60 pts. My friend wanted to try need for speed carbon, so have 0 for that too. But in the end, games with 0 will be not a big ammount, i mean i plan on doing Carbon sometime, its a good game, never had the chance to get it from my friend, he always had other good game to give me for a while and now im a member of an online renting website so always have new games to do. But PGR3 i didn't like much of the style so its unlikely i do it , exept if there nothing else to play and my friend give it to me for a while, but well at least there is not too much game like that in my Gamercard. Personally i don't mind having 200 GS for a game, its the big 0 that annoy me so now before butting a game in my xbox, i think if its a game i can do GS, and altought i have 0 for fight night 3 for exemple(played a couple match with a friend) i know i will do it sometimes and its ok then. Achievement are not hard, its an easy 1000

I must be one of the few that isn't really bothered by this. I care about my total gamerscore, not the percentage achieved. Life's too short for that! :)

I lost all faith in my over gamerscore I have no 1000 lol. It doesn't bother me I'm not a perfectionist But I will max them out eventually in the future. What does bother me is my score could be 25,000 yet its 11,000. I need to fix this.

Well Microsoft isn't a very logical company. Honestly, if you can't even eject a game while it's inside the console, how do you expect them to let you control your own gamercard?
But hopefully next gen, they'll let us control our own gamercards. We should be able to delete games off of their as we please.
