i need this to come out in australia for my friend so i can buy one for him. MOJANG IF YOUR LISSIONING MAKE SSHURE TO CONE TO AUSTRALIA!
Why not just go to your local Australia Post, pay the small amount for a prepaid visa credit card, then buy it that way? Every Australia Post outlet should sell them, i haven't seen one yet that doesn't in the area i live in.
That's how my sisters get stuff online, they use their pocket money to buy one of these cards and then spend it.
Plus the fact that these updates still roll out and make it better and better only ensures your getting the most for your investment. Plus the modding and server community is a whole other aspect that truly makes this game shine. Support the game, to be honest you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't already.
I still laugh at people who say they couldn't use a credit card...
You could have done little jobs and saved money...and had your parents open up your own checking/savings account with a debit card and linked that through paypal to buy minecraft! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!?
But anyways, even then that's understandable if that's not an option Hopefully more people can now get minecraft and enjoy it with no worries.
If they aren't then how will Mojang buy their accounts? Lol
Mojang probably gets free accounts, and they even come with a mojang cape, why would an employee get a new account -.-
And even then, they probably all have credit cards or can ask notch/jeb for a couple more free accounts...
One suggestion to ALL those kids who have been waiting for this, especially the ones who are outside the USA. Most EVERY gas station sells prepaid mastercards. You can find them, worst case if you can't load a specific amount, loaded with 25$ or 50$. What you don't spend on Minecraft, you can spend elsewhere online or in-person like it's a real card. Just keep track of the balance and spend it down to 0$. This is how I bought Minecraft
I hope this helps out Vexx32 as well! Hopefully some of the players will be able to buy it locally! Haha, I might as well buy a few more for some friends. The only thing I do not like about this is that as stated in the OP; it's required to signup with Mojang itself. Likewise, you have to signup with minecraft.net already but It does not make much sense.

Join pvp.bladecraft.net for a great factions/PvP server!
Just hope they sell it in Canada to (And in the shops listed above where I can get one for my cousin) I owe him 20 bucks because he bought me a minecraft account and I guess this would be a great gift to re pay the favour (He doesn't have a MC prenium account)

Master Cards right? Don't you need to register them first before they become activate them first? I know they have the money in them all ready but im pretty sure it needs some sort of auth to get in.

I don't get it either...People CAN get some money from NOT spending it for a while..What's going to happen?You are going to die because you didn't buy a coke?
This is neat. Now Minecraft can finally be bought by people in Illinois or Guam.
But we better tighten the security on those servers because this is gonna create a flood of estatic kiddies whose parents didn't like using credit cards on the Internet.

I don't feel like putting anything witty here, sorry.
This^, fortunately most cards of this sort need to be 'activated ' at a register to work (another reason this is being piloted in the US). What we may well see however is loads of stolen non activated cards being sold by scammers.
