So now there now Minecraft giftcards. I'm sure part of the MCXBOX community bought it because they couldn't get Minecraft online, and another part just to have it on XBOX. (these are just 2 of the many reasons why people have MCXBOX).
Are you going to buy a gift card and start playing on PC?
I'm still unsure of getting Minecraft on PC with a giftcard. I would be able to play on servers and and with more of my friends, but that's another 27 out of my wallet (which needs to stay fat so I can blow it all on Halo 4, in 36 days).
4J plans to get the MCXBOX Edition to 1.2.3 at least. I'm fine with that 'cause the only things I want that are on PC and may not come to XBOX are being able to control where the pig goes (carrot+fishing rod), and emeralds. Screw items frames and bats and everything else!

I'm a xbox gamer. Theres no way im switching to keyboard. Iv'e tried before and its rather annoying.
So no I am not leaving the xbox. Now! Unless i can use my controller for my PC as a setting i will still not go to PC Ver.
I think that you need a good PC for that. My PC is no where near ready for online games
M/KB is far superior for some types of games, mainly first-person games, of which Minecraft is one. It might take a bit of getting used to if you're only familiar with a controller, but once you do you will never want to go back.
I would try and play it again if you say its that easy. But like i said Lag is something i hate dealing with.

Not really. The only thing I like to play on PC more is FPS and MMO's, for obvious reason. When using keyboard and mouse, compared to a controller, you gain more control over aim, but lose control over movement. You can't halfway press a regular keyboard key, whereas most controllers have analog sticks and triggers that are pressure sensitive. Much better for racing, platformers, and whatnot. There's nothing I have more than trying to play a racing game on the computer, there's no such thing as a smooth turn.
i've got a wireless reciever thingy on my computer so i can use my xbox controller to play games. with that said...it's really not much better playing MC with my xbox controller on pc. it wasn't made for it, so the controls aren't nearly as responsive and smooth as they should be.
anyway, back to the topic...
if my computer was good enough to smoothly run MC i'd buy it there for sure. but it just doesn't run smooth enough for me to really want to play there over playing on xbox.
since im going to get a new computer after i get my ged i may finally be able to get minecraft pc and the fact that i can just buy a minecraft gift card thing makes things alot easier

I was wondering how well the PC version might do with that setup. Thanks for posting.

This. That was how I was before I got converted to keyboard and mouse. You have so much more control with M/KB than a console controller, especially when aiming.
I already got it a while ago, but my computer couldn't handle it. Now that I've gotten used to using a controller, I can't imagine playing with a keyboard. Once I get a better laptop I'll be sure to try the pc version again, and probably try hooking up my controller to it, too, but I doubt I'll like the control scheme as much.
