cant wait for it to be released! but guys i think the world size is going to be like minecraft expands for like ever
It won't be expanding forever. Unlike PC's, Consoles have limitations based on hardware. It was already stated that the worlds would not be expanding infinitely because current console hardware cannot support something that massive.
The only reason a PC can do it is because PCs will always be better than consoles in the hardware department, as they can be upgraded on the fly. Whereas, consoles cannot until a newer console comes out.
To answer other questions, the game will cost 1600MSP or $20 for those that don't know the exchange rate of Microsoft Points to Dollars. It's the same cost as actual Minecraft and if you're going to complain about the price for Minecraft being released at 1.6, then save the forum some bandwidth, don't buy it and don't post about your anger. The game will be updated regularly to catch up to the current PC Version.
The game WILL NOT be released on PS3 / Wii because Microsoft bought exclusive rights to the game so Xbox 360 will be the only console that it will appear on. This was stated before on Notch's twitter and I believe Jeb's twitter as well. If you want proof or links then go make a twitter and follow Notch and the rest of the Minecraft / 4J twitters. I refuse to babysit your ignorance / laziness.
Texture Packs and Player Skins will probably be coming later on but right now, getting the game in a playable state and released is more important that cosmetic things. If that in itself angers you and makes you think twice about buying MCX360 then do yourself a favor and don't buy it / don't post crap about it on the forums. It won't help and people have already been posting crap like that for months now, due to info about Texture Packs and Skins not being available right away being around for a few months now.
If for any reason you get the urge to say "Oh lulz u dunt kno wat ur talking about becuz ur not from Mojang" save it, this info has been readily available for months now on the site itself and in the MCX360 Sub-Forum.
You didn't list much of 'the bad' at all... Nothing about world size, other important things missing. (Like pistons)
World size is pretty terrible, I really hope they intend on updating it to be bigger.
They will be updating the game and pistons were released in 1.7 so really not a big deal since it will be the first thing we get when they do update the game and world size is really not a problem, i rarely go that far away from spawn when i play anyways (unless i play a PvP server) but since there will probably not be anything like that i'm just playing this to play with my friends, like the majority of the other people buying this.
Wait, what? MC360 only has features from Beta 1.6? I never knew that, and I was so pumped about being able to play Minecraft on the Xbox, but now that I know it isn't even the full released game, I'm not even going to buy it.
What's the point of "finishing" Minecraft and "releasing" the "full version", when the Minecraft for Xbox isn't even the full game? What a horrible idea. To think I was actually excited for it, and I'm just receiving an unfinished piece of trash that I've already paid for and enjoyed to a further extent.

Your retarded. Its a WHOLE different the language the game is being coded in, and its being developed by a whole different Group. Ofc it wont be finished. Do us a favor and DELETE you Forum Account.
So tell me if this is right: I have an xbox360 and will be getting the game. If i have my friend over who made a guest account on my xbox and we try to play splitscreen it wont work? Your saying i have to pay for my account and i have to buy a subscription for his if we want to play splitscreen???
Think about economics people. If MCX360 were free for people who bought the pc version, it would effectively be free for everyone since so many people bought the game already. If the system was made so people who bought the game, the developers would make no money, making all their work pointless. If you made a fun game that you had to buy to play, you have a profitable game. If you have a fun game that is free, you get no profit. And the money made could be put into optimizing the game, increasing world size, optimizing servers, heck, if the game gains enough money, Mojang may violate its contract with Microsoft to bring it to the PS3. I mean, sure a free game that is awesome is fun, but you have to consider the makers of the game. Wheres their cut?

Will there be an "F3" Coordinate screen? no one has been able to answer this. How will i create a mineshaft at certain levels and make proper portals to Nether without the use of coordinates?

That will NEVER happen... Microsoft bought exclusive rights to it so it'll NEVER be on any other console.
do you understand now? it'll NEVER be on anything other than pc and xbox.
.....NEVER.
guest accounts play for free as well. there just needs to be 1 account who bought it on the game
They'll update it. Jezz
