Minecraft: Xbox 360

So they released it forever ago.
I played it on the Pc, and i just now bought it for the 360.
Ironic its only 1600 points. And i heard you get 400 points back?
Hmm, anyone tried it out yet?

Controls awkward for first timers (PC to 360), gameplay and graphics are roughly the same.

It's not better, it's not worse than the pc version.

I'd rather play it on the pc though because of mods

Only 1600 points? I've gotten far better games for 800. 1200 amounts to about $15, and 800 about $10. So Minecraft on Xbox 360 costs $20. TWENTY GODDAMN DOLLARS. I bought Beyond Good and Evil for $10, I bought LIMBO for $10, I bought Super Meat Boy for $10. Minecraft doesn't deserve that price tag, especially with its late arrival on the platform. ...but not that it matters, since it sold millions of dollars in the first week anyway. That's what happens when Microsoft actually promotes a game, instead of letting it rot in their back catalogue.

You know what else is 1600 points? The entirety of the Sam & Max Season 1. THAT'S FIVE GAMES. FIVE. You look me in the eye and tell me with honesty that Minecraft is worth as much as five games.

Minecraft...on PC is :D

Minecraft is worth as much as five games.

Ive heard some things that will keep me from getting it, is it true that there is a limit to the playable world?

Not sure, i havent played with another yet, nor have i made more the one world.
But so far it looks nice, just one thing i hate, is those god damn creepers, just when i get a house looking nice and finally figure out the resources i need to craft some shit, the creeper comes out from no where and blows me or my shit up.
.-.

It's not even a game. It's a sandbox! Five games amount of work was not put into Minecraft. You could argue that there's five games worth of play in it, but not five games worth of content. What has been made for Minecraft and placed in the game, outside of player interaction, is barely a game. A game in which you basically have to create your own fun does NOT deserve a $20 pricetag.

I mean, even Trials: Evolution has better user creation tools than the WHOLE OF MINECRAFT, and it's $15, AND comes with actual gameplay. Minecraft's 1600MSP tag is a joke. A goddamn joke.

I probly say they will do that if you already own a copy of teh pc version.

Ah, well i have the cracked beta version of it on my pc.
Does that count? xD

Meh I didn't claim anything, you told us to tell you that minecraft is worth as much as five games so I did.

How hard is it to scroung up $20? You make it sound like it costing you a paycheck. and your first born child.

MineCraft (On both PC and Xbox) costs 20$, 14$ if you bought it in Alpha/Beta. Game pricing is pretty much based on age, and either if its Digital or Physical so pricing is null.
MineCraft also has a TINY development team, Most arcade games that sell well enough are all large title games, huge teams to make them, and are done in about 5-9 months, (Also depending on the team) You play them once and you're done with them.

Minecraft content? Mods=Unlimited, MineCraft 360? DLC for Texture packs, mabye an update to what the PC has, Possible popular mods moved to the Xbox...
points is, You can play minecraft for months, and still have more to do, I've played probbably 4-6 hours with other poeple? and well more than 250Hrs in a single world. If you got Trails: Evolution (Fun game btw) and played about 30~ish hours, you probably got your money well spent out of that, a very good deal.

Play Minecraft for 400+, Make something that you like, made yourself, and worked for. You just stole that copy of minecraft, should donate to charity, and leave a tip.

Hey, I bought Minecraft in Alpha, like everyone else. What I'm saying is that Minecraft does not deserve a higher price than other games on the Microsoft store, not that the game doesn't deserve a high price. I just feel that the actual content in the game made by the devs doesn't measure up to $20 worth, and I don't really measure user-created content as actual content.

My real problem with Minecraft is that Microsoft is so obviously giving it privilege that other devs haven't received. Higher price tag, more prominent advertising, and giving Mojang day-to-day stats on the sales instead of month-to-month like most devs get. It's not the sort of thing a late, minimum-effort port deserves; it is no better than the best of the best on XBLA. I've always had this problem with XBLA, mind. Games like Braid and LIMBO get hyped up while Super Meat Boy, a superior title, gets shafted - alongside a contract that forced them to rush the release. Call it tall poppy syndrome, call it communism, but I really think Minecraft should be treated no more special than any other top-tier game on XBLA. It's not a case of not being able to afford things - it's a case of, for that money, there are better investments than Minecraft.

Looky what i found while playing! xD

the game is already released. so its not in beta anymore. you need to update it. Sides, its just a guess, not an actually known fact.
