Scoring bug - how did I get 1B points?

I don't know what happened just now. My previous high score was around 93 million, 68 was the highest level I had finished. Level 68 only had a 1,693,000 start bonus. I completed the level with one life left, and a bonus multiplier of 1. When level 69 started, I had a score over 1,000,000,000.

Any ideas what could have caused this?

Nope, but I take it you've connected to Live at least once since buying SG to get the game update?

Going by the leaderboards, you wouldn't be the first person this has happened with post-update. There aren't very many examples of it, but a couple of the leaders clearly don't belong up there based on their lack of achievements or whatnot for their position.

I managed to get Garantido (or was it Caprichoso? - 9X multiplier on 5 levels running) by accident during my latest attempt at a good Hardcore score (ended with 250 mill. Ended at level 85...that heart shaped one) I just need to get Long Neck Long March now, but without some practice on key levels, it might take a while!

OK - thanks for the info. I did get the patch BTW. I'll keep tabs on my real high score (currently a tad over 93 million on level 69) and hopefully I will be able to complete all 100 levels. I have never beaten one of Jeff's games before - I hope I have the skills to beat this one (beastly mode doesn't count, I'll never finish it).

Not your problem, but just seen this one:

"space giraffe superox score counter stop"

Happens about 2:10 in.
