The one or more devices (100) include computing hardware (110) for executing one or more games software products for implementing the one or more games when executed upon the computing hardware (110). Moreover, the one or more devices (100) are operable to record a gameplay experience (GEV) played thereupon including an associated score, wherein the one or more devices (100) are operable to upload their recorded gameplay experiences (GEV) and associated score to the gameplay experience service arrangement (310, 320) which maintains a score list (400) corresponding to the uploaded gameplay experiences. The score list (400) is accessible to the one or more devices (300) for identifying relative gameplay performances of users of the one or more devices (100), for example via replaying of the recorded gameplay experiences (GEV). ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system (300) for sharing gameplay score experiences, wherein the system (300) includes one or more devices (100) on which one or more games are played, a gameplay experience service arrangement (310, 320) and a communication arrangement (330) for communicatively coupling the one or more devices (100) to the gameplay experience service arrangement (310, 320), wherein the one or more devices (100) include computing hardware (110) for executing one or more games software products for implementing the one or more games when executed upon the computing hardware (110), wherein the one or more devices (100) are operable to record a gameplay experience (GEV) played thereupon including an associated score, wherein the one or more devices (100) are operable to upload their recorded gameplay experiences (GEV) and associated score to the gameplay experience service arrangement (310, 320) which maintains a score list (400) corresponding to the uploaded gameplay experiences, and wherein the score list (400) is accessible to the one or more devices (300) for identifying relative gameplay performances of users of the one or more devices (100). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system (300) as claimed in claim 1, wherein uploaded gameplay experiences (GEV) correspond to one or more data streams recorded in real-time in the devices (100) during playing of games thereupon. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system (300) as claimed in claim 2, wherein the one or more data streams include at least one of: UserFace Video, Game Video, Mic Sound, Game Sound, Game Control, Game Stat, UI Data, Game Events. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system (300) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more data streams generated at the one or more devices (100) are user-editable before being uploaded to the gameplay experience service arrangement (310, 320). ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system (300) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the score list (400) is accessible via the one or more devices (100), and the score list (400) includes links for replaying gameplay experiences (GEV) associated with scores presented on the score list (400). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system (300) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the score list (400) is maintained in an Internet web site (340), and accessible from the one or more devices (100) using browser software in the one or more devices (100). ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system (300) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more games software products are host games software products into which one or more software components from a GESW API software library have been incorporated. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system (300) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more devices (100) are wireless-enabled devices implemented by way of at least one of: a smart phone, a laptop computer, a personal computer, a pad computer, a tablet computer. ### Claim 9 A method of sharing gameplay score experiences using a score sharing system (300), wherein the method includes: (a) using one or more devices (100) of the system (300) for playing one or more games; (b) communicatively coupling the one or more devices (100) via a communication arrangement (330) to a gameplay experience service arrangement (310, 320), wherein the one or more devices (100) include computing hardware (110) for executing one or more games software products for implementing the one or more games when executed upon the computing hardware (110); (c) recording on the one or more devices (100) a record a gameplay experience (GEV) played thereupon including an associated score; (d) uploading form the one or more devices (100) their recorded gameplay experiences (GEV) and associated score to the gameplay experience service arrangement (310, 320);
