(Sorry if there's a thread like this?)
But Anyway, like the topics title. Why did you buy the Xbox360's Edition of Minecraft?
For me I bought it after trying it out at my cousin's house, and I liked the controls
You?
i had nothing to play and bought it because of friends and i was saying everytime this game is gay and makes no sense then i bought it and now im playing it everyday and i like it more on console because you can sit back and enjoy playing while laying on the couch instead of bending over the keyboard and looking into such a small screen and yes i know i can set my computer up to get this feeling but its not worth it in my opinion
Haha, I can relate, that was what my cousin was doing. (Minus me saying it was gay )
I played it after it being suggested by my cousin. Then a couple months later bought the pc version as well. I can say I enjoy both for what they are. With each I enjoy them individually for different reasons.:D

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.

Yeah, I bought the PC Version, about a week ago. xD
A while ago, at some random gaming site I saw a "special edition" XBox done up in a Minecraft paint-scheme. Cool, what's Minecraft? No idea. So I forgot about it for a couple of months until the demo shows up on Arcade.
I downloaded the demo, played for about 10 minutes and decided this isn't for me. I just didn't "get it".
Now, fast-forward to release day on XBLA and there's a lot of buzz on my XBox. I'm not used to my XBox buzzing so loudly over something without sniper rifles. So I downloaded the demo again and this time I was able to make a pick-axe and I made a real tunnel that came to the surface where I thought it would, and now it's January.

I play because I am addicted and the glitches in the newest DLC for Skyrim are irritating! lol
One of my sons, who btw does not even own the game in any form, kept showing me videos on YouTube about this game telling me how great it was and we should get it. I thought it looked interesting but seemed boring. This was the PC version he was going on about.
Flash forward six months....he has been away at Job Corps so I download the demo for him to play with while he is on break over the holidays. I still don't get it and it still looks dumb. Then my daughter in laws 11 year old brother comes over to play and actually explains what he is doing. He is playing on the demo version. I turned it on later that night while no one else was around so I could try it out. (and no one would see if I messed up) I started liking it.....then plunged into my first cave and fell in love. All of a sudden I could see all kinds of projects to build and things to keep my mind active yet at the same time I could explore and play. I have now been playing for about a month. I tell my family that I have contracted a case of ADSD Attention Deficit Spelunking Disorder...(.oooh! Shiny! was that gold down that corridor?)
I believe that this game should come with a warning label!

I just took the Minecraft Noob test! Check out what I scored. Think you can beat me?!

Played a ton of the PC version back when literally no one knew what it was, then suddenly all the hype of it coming to Xbox, I ended up buying it because on PC while it's infinitely better, I only had 2 close friends playing on PC as opposed to the 20+ that play it for Xbox. So I bought it, and love it. It also makes a great timesink/replacement while I gather funds to build my PC.

I was bored one day, had no new games to play. . . all mine were about 6 months old, and 'cleared' about 4 times. . . I decided to download about 6 demo arcade games, minecraft being the last one I downloaded. (I thought it looked a bit pants to be honest). Anyway, after playing the other 5, I played MC.
A week later I downloaded the 'full' version.
Now I play it almost every day. I have tried going back to the other games, but they just don't do it for me anymore. Every new map/seed I play on MC is different from the last.
I can safely say, I'm addicted. . . . I'm going to start a MCA group (MineCraftaholics Anonymous)

Minecraft had been mentioned often in gaming press for years, with stupid looking screenshots. I was never tempted to get it for PC. Got the XBLA demo just to see what it was, with zero intention of buying it. Played the demo on day one and didn't get it. Played it on day two and understood it more, but would never buy it. Played it on day three and wound up buying it then playing it pretty exclusively for last 8 months, with detours into Dishonoured, Borderlands 2 and Far Cry 3 (and some Skyrim).
Despite advantages on PC, would not bother playing with mouse and that crafting interface.
Yeah, I hate playing on PC Sometimes, I always forget the Crafting Recipes.
Thats why I love me some x360 and the Pocket Edition
The Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

It'd be cool if you could, but that'd be illegal xD If you want to try modding on something different then PC, try Minecraft Pocket Edition ( )
I was really excited for it to come to 360. I fell in love with the game one day when I was linked to a website that was showing size comparisons of objects in the universe. It started off somewhere like the size of a pen, and you could keep zooming in and zooming in, or zooming out and zooming out, and just as I was zooming past Earth I noticed this giant green square labeled "Minecraft World"
Of course I'd heard about it before, but when I saw how big the worlds were was when I really started to appreciate the game and get interested in it. Of course right before release when the world size was revealed I was slightly devastated, but still downloaded it and loved it since. I even themed my food into cubes for Minecraft's 360 release- all my food was square/cubed. Chex for breakfast, ramen with cubed mushrooms and square pork slices for lunch (ramen is square before you cook it), and for dinner sliders that I cut into squares and Cheez-it's.
TL;DR-
I don't like mouse and keyboard controls and my laptop is fairly outdated.
I got lured into it by my friends' kids, who I had been charged with looking after over the summer. They were so into it that it seemed imperative that I learn a least a little something about the game in order to communicate with them... or else our conversations over the summer were going to be limited to:
Me: It's lunchtime. What do you want?
Them: Grunting while continuing to play. "Ooh... butter!"
Me: You say you want butter on your sandwich.
Them: "No, I want to mine more gold."
... So, to avoid throwing many sandwiches into the garbage, I started playing with them on their XBox... and lunch often just got forgotten entirely. Then, I dusted off a very old and very idle XBox of my son's and talked him into buying the game for me.
Fast forward, interest in the XBox in general has been revived; and we have since bought a second XBox so my son might possibly get some XBox time of his own when he gets home from work. He's still resisting playing Minecraft (he likes FPS games), but I've noticed him sitting a little longer to watch me play lately... Meanwhile, I keep getting opportunities to lure in other noobs in my circle of family and friends.
I loved watching the vidoes of the PC version but I have not played games on my PC for a long time. I like playing on a large screen TV sitting on the couch playing games. So when MC hit the XBox - It was a no brainer..
I used to be a pc gamer way back the last game i played on the pc was halo ce I tried getting back into pc gaming due to superior graphics but, i really didnt feel comfortable with it. my friend told me about minecraft about six months before it was announced for the xbox I instantly bought it for the pc but due to the fact that im not that much of a pc gamer i dont have a gaming pc and minecraft wasnt playable. so once minecraft came out for the xbox i was ecstatic and have been addicted ever since.
Was bored during one weekend, while the kids were at their grandma's, and my wife was out with friends. Decided to give the demo a try, pretty much knew I was in trouble at that point. Wife wasn't interested, but when the kids got back I showed it to them. At first they weren't sure what to think of it, but once I put them in creative mode they've been hooked ever since. So now I have to ration them, but it gives an incentive for them to do homework. After about a week my wife decided to give in and give it a try, and now its one of our main things to do after the kids go to bed.
Fast forward a few months, and my brother comes to vist. Doesn't want anything to do with it, not his type of game etc.. etc... While our wives are out I get him to hop on for a few minutes... So now we online multi once a week or so, us and our wives.
I don't think there is anyone who doesn't like Minecraft.. Just those that haven't played yet.

No... xD Im asking why did you buy it? Or in other terms, who made you buy it for what reason. And oh okay. xD
