As far as i can tell, buying minecraft for the xbox would just be a waste of money, my computer is exponentially better than the xbox, the computer version can be modded and has texture pack support, and has online play. The Xbox version doesnt look like it will have any of those things, which is sad as being a PC gamer i cant even play console games anymore because there is no way to modify a game or make it look as pretty (at least on the xbox, i know ps3 it can be done).
Anyway, the only way id end up buying the xbox version of minecraft is if had some form of multiplayer support which minecraft currently does not have, this meaning some form of server browser and the ability to make a server. The xbox is a social machine and could be very well utilized with multiplayer support with minecraft.
Minecraft on the computer will be better for most no matter what. For some it will guarantee solid performance. (No stuttering, random crashing, FPS dropping to 0), things like that. Also, you are able to make your own multiplayer server up to 8 people I believe after looking at the XBLA page for it. XBLA Minecraft will just cater to those opposed to playing games on PC, for those who don't have a powerful enough PC to host & play or just play without errors, or for people who just simply want to play it with their XBL friends.
+ I have to say, that autocrafting recipe thing is pretty cool. :tongue.gif:
Depends. Say you want to play Minecraft with your friends, but they don't have a good enough computer to run it. If they have an Xbox then you can play with them.

Minecraft on xbox will have multiplayer support proof on the front forums page.
For the record I play games to see what a developer can put into it, not the modifications that can be done.
The xbox version will be for 2 types of people. People like me who doesn't really care for Texture packs and modding to much and personally prefers controller WAY over M+KB and people who can't run Minecraft on your PC, and I am almost postive the xbox version WILL have multiplayer support, Minecon vids show a multiplayer tab on the main menu.
If you prefer M+KB and can run minecraft (And prefer having mods more then Vanilla) then do NOT buy it on xbox as it would be a waste of your money.

i don't care I'm buying it for the xbox anyway. i don't see how i will mod it or install texture packs, that is the 2 downers about this.
mods on the x-box? don't know - but minecraft without mods is almost worthless imo.. but if you wasted your money on a console already i suppose you might as well
How is Minecraft without modifications almost worlthless, in your opinion? Sure, mods add much more content, but without original Minecraft, how would the mods work? In my opinion, you shouldn't deserve to play if you think it's worthless.
Minecraft on Xbox will have multiplayer. In fact, it will have multiplayer with the PC version of the game, so there! No mods isn't a bad thing, as Minecraft already has tons of content in and of itself, and many people like the default texture pack. The "low res" graphics are part of the charm, if you will.
All in all, I don't see why you should buy it if you already own it for PC.
I prefer to play on the PC (I would rather play with BuildCraft/IndustrialCraft/RedPower, depsite what DivinityV2 thinks), but I'll almost certainly get it for XBox as well.
One reason: We have one PC in the house. When my wife wants to use the computer, I'll be on the XBox and I can still get my Mine on.

"Don't know why you should feel that there's something to learn... it's just a game that you play."
personally, i will get it for the sole reason that i love the xbox. the first video games i played were on the original xbox. therefore i feel like i have some sort of loyalty to the xbox. :tongue.gif:
You should buy it because it isn't a cheap Minecraft knockoff, and will most likely be good. Not as good as the PC though. The original is always better. ^.^
yeah if you have a good pc then you have no reason for it. people that don't have good pcs (like myself :sleep.gif:) are looking forward to a great game like this but with no lag and etc. you get the idea.

I used to fight creepers. Then I took an arrow to the knee...but then I recovered!!! Only for my computer to lag and I died.
- Multiplayer, Yes the xbox version will have multiplayer.
- Cross Platform, You will be able to play with people on the computer.
- Texture packs, You will be able to download a texture pack onto a flash drive and use it.
- Graphics, The graphics will most likely be better than the pc version.
the computer version can be modded and has texture pack support, and has online play. The Xbox version doesnt look like it will have any of those things
It will have multiplayer and it will most likely have a some way to use different textures. These are a big part of Minecraft. They aren't stupid, they know they need to include it.

You know you'll get it, if for no other reason than it's "Minecraft".
So why are you asking us?
