can i buy minecraft for 360 and play splitscreen and multiplayer at the same time?????

Yes, up to 8-players online in a server.
And the maximum is 4 players on a TV.
Also, a big bummer for most people, including me, the bummer being that if you don't have an HDTV with at least a 720p resolution you can't play Minecraft, and you also need HD AV cables.

hmmmmmmmmm ok thanks for the infomation

...oh yeah I wanted to know if I could play split-screen with my brother and both (me and my bro) play with other players online? EXAMPLE: like on Halo Reach where you can play split-screen and machmaking.

You either have to have two gold accounts, or go into a different game, sign in as a guest then go back to minecraft. (I haven't tested this) But otherwise yes.

ok thanks

you can do whatever you want to

yeah one last question.....im not sure if my tv is HD, but I played the Demo and it worked. Do you know if there is any difference. I mean if I could play the Demo does that mean I will be able to play the full game?

Yes, you can play Minecraft on any TV, new or old. But to play splitscreen you must have a HDTV with either & HDMI cable or composite cable connected to your Xbox.

Thanks for the info... you guys are life-savers.
