I have one question for you: Why buy the inferior product when I already own the original?

they are releasing this on Xbox cause XBLA has an indie game support and PSN doesn't so minecraft can jump in on the band wagon and get people who don't have a great computer or no computer access at all and buy minecraft for their console. its a great way to get more people in to this game. pretty smart move on their end

The people that make minecraft aren't making the 360 version they have another company doing it so they can develop the PC version.

I don't own a 360 so the answer is no (the questions should have been (1) I have a 360, yes (2) I have a 360, no (3) I don't have a 360 (4) I don't know)

But - if they do a 360 version, what they should do is cloud support for the saves, so you could move back and forth between the two platforms on the same save so SPM.

It is a second team which is making the 360 version, so no time was wasted.

Minecraft on the Xbox will be a first day buy for me,

If it supports MP then ill buy it :biggrin.gif:

Survival, or SMP?

Why would I want to buy a game on xbox when I have it for PC already? Doubt xbox will have any modding support and very poor multiplayer, which is half of what is great about minecraft.

The other half is finding a group of 8 diamonds

I already have the game, why would I bother buying another version?

Besides,

• I like to play on Servers with specific plugins/mods, including some designed to "undo" a couple of the recent 1.8/1.9 changes that I absolutely hate.
• I seriously doubt that the XBox would support plugins and mods... making the game worthless to me on the XBox.

BTW, in spite of that I am glad that it is coming out for the XBox and I hope that Microsoft forced Mojang into some "rules" about keeping the two releases in synch. We could use with some version stability and coherent development.

Wheres the, "I'm going to buy an Xbox just for it" option?

I've already bought it for PC, so unless I can access it with my existing Username and Password without having to purchase it for my Xbox then I don't think I will be getting it.

If this goes anything like how the port to consoles for TF2 went, then I'm staying far away and laughing at the modless and textureless 360 players, most of which will probably be little kids who scream expletives and can't play for crap. (Not lighting up a flamewar, these kids are everywhere, even PC. PCs just have less because a decent one costs far more than a console, and their mommies likely can't pay for it.)

I'd definitely buy this! Oh wait, i don't have an Xbox... :blink.gif:

For those that are mad that Minecraft is going to the Xbox please keep in mind it is being developed by a different company. They're not taking anything away from the development currently being done on the PC.

I read a comment that stated Mojang was being greedy and I can't help but laugh. Mojang is a company just like any other. It needs a revenue to sustain itself and its employees. Plus they're putting Minecraft into the hands of more people and not limiting themselves to just the PC. You should be happy that the game will be given more attention because it rightfully deserves more.

As far as myself actually purchasing the 360 version I have no idea. It really will depend on how much it is, its performance, and how multiplayer looks like.

What they revealed was the fact that Minecon attendees get to try it early.

Awful lot of complaining about the presumed quality of the 360 release coming from people who already play it on the PC and won't be using it.
