Nope!
Minecraft CAN! be released there! It even could be released today or on march 24 etc. It is released when Microsoft wants it to be!
Don't forget, Mojang and Microsoft have a special contract
it has 400 gamerscore only if they cut it to 200 it won't be released before april
ps: the release date is a lie same as the cake!
In this article they explain exerything and even link you to major nelsons blog which states the same.
Much appreciated.
"Microsoft is set to raise the Gamerscore cap and maximum number of achievements for Xbox Live Arcade games from April 1st, at which point games will be able to adopt either the new or old system."
First off, that doesn't exactly sound strict. The only strict part in that post was about the change being mandatory starting June 1st. 2 possibilities: Microsoft has agreed to let Mojang/4J put in the 400 GS early, or they'll just start with 200 then update after April 1st to 400. It looks like Microsoft REALLY wants all the arcade games to have 400, since it's mandatory after June 1st, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if they just let Minecraft have it a little early.
Until there's an official change to the release date, you guys should probably take these 2 ideas into consideration unless someone has a better one.
EDIT: This is assuming the achievement videos/snapshots are even real.
Guys minecraft wiki has upated the page again. Its now talking future updates for minecraft xbox360 and The release date is still their so it mostly likely means its coming out Saturday 17th of march!!! http://www.minecraft...ki/Xbox_Edition

YAY! Now we will finally know if this **** is legit and if somebody is not messing with us! XD
Ya but someone asked him if it will be out in March and all he said was he can't answer do to marketing reasons. He also said last time he played the xbox version, it was looking good :).

Yes, but sadly Notch himself said it was "Looking like April, but don't say I told you." (I was paraphrasing.) I am still holding out hope for March, but it seems somewhat unlikely.
It was confirmed at the Game Developers Conference that minecraft for XBLA will be released on the 17th of march, however Phil Spencer (the person who said it will be released on march 17th) Said: "The release date can change if necessary."And they said it would be spring 2012 right? well the first day of spring is march 17th
WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S COMING OUT. We don't work for Microsoft, Mojang, or 4J. ANY /possible/ date is just a guess without official proof of someone who works with MS, Mojang, or 4J saying when it's coming out.
It will come out sometime between Now, and whenever they feel like it. Your best bet is to keep checking the front page of this site, and looking for Minecraft on XBLA.
