September (or maybe August) 2010, my friend starting talking about this game. It sounded pretty awesome so I listened to him talk about it, one day he invited me over and we played it. I then went home and bought it myself.
Found about it long long time ago (I believe still in Alpha, not sure what was the version) through friends. I remember I bought it as it was cheap at the time (and they did mention that when the game was ready it would cost much more) but never really played it that much (I used to play a lot of FPS...) until like 6 months ago... Now its the only game i have played since then...
A friend of mine showed me it last year on my birthday. He downloaded the pirated version of single player just so I can see if I would like it or not. Few days later he bought me the full version of it.
My initial awareness for Minecraft came from images and references to it found in computer/gaming print magazines and online forums, and as links on YouTube. "A kiddie game with crappy graphics", thought I. My interest was not sparked enough to investigate.
Time passed. Those MC references popped up more and more often. At some point I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about. I loaded YouTube, searched for Minecraft, and began watching Minecraft videos, mostly Let's Plays. The more I watched, the more I "got it". It was paulsoaresjr "Survive & Thrive" series and early Yogscast Simon & Lewis Survival episodes (that eventually morphed into "Shadows...") that convinced me to buy the game.

My friends would always talk about it but I had no clue what it was. Then I started watching vids on it (Not on Mine Face is still the best!). later my friend got it on his xbox. playing it there made me resolved to buy it.
