So I'm really debating getting minecraft 360 but i know very little about it. I have the pc version and love it but from what ive seen theres no mods, texture packs or really anything for the 360 version. can anyone tell me some good sides to the 360 version?

Graphics and playback.
You don't need a good xbox to have decent minecraft graphics and playback, unlike the PC.
Although, you need good connection for decent gameplay online.
The map size on the Xbox version Is also limited, making the PC more adventurist.
Other than the controller, split screen, and maybe a couch, not much.
I do enjoy playing with friends from my xbox and using party chat in game, though I'm sure there's no difference there with PC other than lacking features that will be added later such as hoppers, wither,etc.
I would like to say that you should heed your decision for the 360 before purchasing and consider that the world size is severely hindered. If you like exploring and enjoy staying on a single world and not have to worry about creating worlds for future updates, then I'd stay away from the 360 edition and stick with PC.
There are texture packs in MCXB, but not as many as in MCPC. In my opinion, there are three things I like more in MCXB than MCPC: 1) the controller, 2) vanilla - no mods, and 3) server security.
Why not get the XBone? You will likely be able to do a lot more in the (upcoming) XBone MC version.

i do like the smoother gameplay on the xbox but that seems to be the only thing grabbing my attention. they really lost me at the map size.

well i have a remote i use for the pc, im using my laptop and they do make a splitscreen mode lol. i only have two friends that have xbox (none with pc) but pc its easier to play with the world. as for the last part that really makes me want to stick with pc lol.

Well like i previously said i have a pc remote, i dont have a clue what vanilla is but i really really enjoy pc mods and i cant run a server anyway so i dont really have to worry about the last part. i may get it for the fact that in the future it could be great (and more expensive) i know the xbox one version is supposed to be much better but i dont plan on shelling out the money for an xbox 1 lol.
The main reason I like to play Minecraft on the 360 is because I can lay down in bed and play as well as use the controller.I don't mind having a large screen to play on as well.
thats the good thing about a laptop and a pc remote any time i want a large screen i can plug into my tv lol.Not trying to shoot down everyone's opinions i appreciate them alot. Just trying to figure out if i want to get the xbox version lol
What some people view as detractants, others view as benefits. Take the limited sized worlds, for example...
1) You can set up a build theme in a world and plan the bu cover th entire world... and actually have a hope of completely the project on a single theme. Your world then can be kept and opened for simple display... complete, whole... finished... with no worries about continually added-on terrain.
2) We have TRUE survivial island seeds... where 1 tree is what you get... and only what you get to start off with. No just walking off the edge of the world to get more if your courage falters. For an even greater challenge, some seeds don't have any trees.
We do have a growing list of texture packs and mash-up packs available... so your information on that bit is faulty.
Splitscreen - you can play with your friends in person... and SEE what they're doing on their section of the screen.
Crafting Intereface - you can craft on the fly from the start... no memorizing "recipes."
So, the question becomes... what do YOU want out of your Minecraft. If it boils down just to having free mods, then please play on PC (We won't miss you, promise.)
I've been playing the same seed on the 360 for nearly a year and have not yet exhausted the potential for the map. Map size really hasn't been an issue for me.
I like the crafting interface, the lack of a keyboard, and the fact that I don't have to know jack about computers/programming to enjoy a video game. (you lost me at <command prompt>)
I'd say get it. Its fun, but it is limited. Nothing too exclusive, but I think that the end on the Xbox is cooler. I like it for the Xbox benefits (lag free, controllers, large tv's) 4j is still updating t catch up with pc too. But otherwise, in my world, small worlds and spawn limits have never been a problem for me. I enjoy every minute of gameplay, and I say buy it. Its a great game for Xbox

Lag free? You must be talking about another game because MCXB is filled with lag.
For me,. I love that me, my wife, and step son can sit down and play together. Otherwise Id have to buy like three copies and a PC for him...that doesn't sound safe for the wallet. I do wish I had mods and could import my own skins, but I am willing to sacrifice.

It explains the difference between the PC and console versions.
1) You can set up a build theme in a world and plan the bu cover th entire world... and actually have a hope of completely the project on a single theme. Your world then can be kept and opened for simple display... complete, whole... finished... with no worries about continually added-on terrain.
