  • CONSOLE BASED LEADERBOARD RENDERING
    Publication number: 20080113805
    Abstract: Leaderboard information for games can be assembled by a console service and displayed to a user through a console. The leaderboard information can be assembled based on a list of users associated with the user, for example a friends list. Upon selection of a game, a leaderboard service can automatically access the list of users and game records for the list of users based on the game. The leaderboard service then assembles the leaderboard information and transmits the leaderboard information to the console. The leaderboard information can then be selectively displayed to the user.
