We had a chance to check out the 360-based Minecraft, and it is incredible! We've got a few preview shots for you here; be sure to check back in frequently for more!
I hate all the fanboys who are mad because it's for Xbox and not PS3. Seriously, just suck it up. If you didn't know PS3 and Steam tie together hand and hand, and Notch didn't want to go with Steam. Have you ever thought that it might be one reason he chose Xbox over PS3? Mojang also has Xperia Play already from Sony, I don't think Notch would want a double-whammy from one company. Being smart entrepreneurs, Mojang will try to get their game out to a lot of people who use different companies. They already have Computers (Mac, Window, Linux etc) Sony (Xperia Play??) Apple (AGAIN, Mac and iPod/iPad) Android and now Microsoft. Suck it up fanboys, each console has good and bad things with it. Go cry a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT. They might even release for PS3, just be patient. Right now they chose to port it to Xbox 360, so what? That doesn't mean it will never come to PS3.
See and tats the cool thing about it cause once you cry your river, your gonna get an xbox and then u will have all kinds of materials to build a bridge with XD
Wow Mojang, way to release it for one of the lowest graphically capable gaming systems out there. Even on HDMI it will look like crap, PS3 should have been the way to go. I wonder why Mojang even took the "bribe" from microsoft when they would have made tons more money. The Xbox system is vulnerable to piracy, compared to PS3 which is ahrder to hack and pirate games. I know tons of people that would have bought this as soon as it came to PS3. I just hope Mojang will accommodate ALL minecrafters.
Why so wrong? It's like you're turning everything around.It is MUCH easier to hack ps3 than xbox. And "Lowest graphically capable gaming systems out there". No. Xbox does not have bad graphics. If they were that stupid, they would release it on Wii. Stop your bitching because after minecraft comes out on xbox, they might release on ps3 anyway. But if they don't and you don't like that, then go tell notch or just play it on pc.
Dude, calm down.
Why do you care if Minecraft has good graphics? It's Minecraft, I think the xbox is capable of handling those extreme graphics. I have a ps3 too, but I don't whine.
I think you are just mad because you don't get the platform Minecraft.
Not to mention that the PS3 came out AFTER the 360, so Sony had more time to add things in. Plus they own Blu-Ray, so most of their quality comes from that. And I agree, PC does have the best graphics to play a game on, depending your set up. Otherwise: FINALLY CAN PLAY THIS ON MY XBOX!!!!1!!! My friend's gonna be jealous that he can't play this on his PS3
I am actually proud that I do not have the slightest desire whatsoever to go out and buy that right now. I already have one Minecraft, and the PC's its original platform anyway.
Could the XBox version mean a possibility of playing Minecraft on PC with a gamepad? I do it already using a third party program, but incorporating it in-game would be pretty cool. And that recipe book looked sweet, too.

And that's why sony got hacked and refused to provide support and safety for their cusomers' credit cards and accounts because they were too cheap?
I cant wait for the release, You are awesome mojang.
@Sunny2456: The game's going to have online up to 8 players and split screen.
@Anyone who has an Xbox: There's the game on the marketplace already, but it only has a video. The game's player count is on there too.
I'd like to see see this on the wii simply for it's controls would seem best feet and even more immersive, I believe. But overall it looks nice. As to the other comments, I believe Minecraft should continue to expand it's platforms, and I'm sure it will.
This is a timely proccess, as I believe it'd require more staff to develop applications for a specific console, and that costs money and time. But in the case for xbox360, I believe that Microsoft and Mojang are working together to produce this.
It's still a beautiful UI, definitely need that for PC.

I thought this kind of stuff stopped, also there are several faults in your logic
- The GPU for the 360 and PS3 are pretty similar, the only advantage PS3 has is the little extra CPU power.
- Minecraft is not a graphic heavy game at all
hopefully this port to the xbox fails and they stick to pc i know i sound blasphemous but i cant help it
Comments like this just are annoying to read.
Why have the Xbox version fail? Its just letting more people experince the game and its not harming PC development as 4J studios is doing the Xbox version. If you just want to see it fail because its on the console then you sir have a problem.
Hes got a point, PS3 has had more trouble with there crap in the past few years than Xbox has ever
