so im concidering buying minecraft xbox edition but im wondering are any of these patches on the disc or do i have to update it also i dont have xbox live so do u need that to update the game? btw im new on the forums so sorry i i screw anything up lol
The basic disk-based version of the game is just fine. However, you do have to have the disk in your xbox for it to run (it doesn't 'install' to your HD).
Curiosity compels me to ask- do you just not have an internet connection (except for say, a smart phone)? I used the free Silver Live for years with no problems at all.

Indeed.
To clarify, your xbox wants an internet connection. Without it, no game updates.
You don't have to log into xbox live to get game updates. A non-live account will get the updates just the same when you launch the game.
You can have a free Silver Xbox Live account, which lets you have friends, send messages, etc when you're xbox is online.
Only the Gold account costs money, and that's for online multi-player gaming, netflixing, or voice chatting.

Ah, that establishes a number of variables then. My condolences.
I don't have it, but I haven't heard of any terrible can't play bugs with the disk version of the game. It was basically a version of the game that matched one of the title updates. We never had a title update that was completely unplayable (i've played every version). So though you might encounter a bug, you'll be just fine without anymore updates.
Now you might talk them into it if you upsell the Netflix capabilities, and the parental controls they can put so you can't buy stuff, play online, without their enabling it.

Well, you really only need it to update the Xbox OS and Minecraft... maybe they would agree to allow you to connect the XBox directly to their internet access (isolate their computers off-line, and if they are super paranoid, have them turned off while you do this), so that only your XBox is connected to the internet just long enough to update, then you can disconnect your XBox and they can reconnect their computers.
You really will only need about 1 hour to get updated and patched, and there is no danger of compromise to their computers if they are not online at the same time as the XBox.... Not that I've ever heard of anyone hacking a home LAN through a remote 3rd party XBox....
Im back.... So i took the connection wire from the woreless router and connected it to the xbox now how do i make the silver account thing?
Well assuming this is the first time you ever plug your Xbox into the net, there will be about a hour's worth of system updates that will change how your dashboard looks and feels.
Then the system should automatically prompt you into a setup routine. Just follow the instructions. If you aren't prompted just play the MC disk and wait for it to get the update.
It's amazing how well Search works.

Basically, you can't update the disk version without an internet connection to your xbox. Check the link above. No, there's no patches on the disk.
