Minecraft for xbox live arcade comes out tomorrow. Granted it wont be as advanced as the PC version but it might still be fun to play with the wife on the tv.

Thanks Blue's News

When it was first added to the market the price was 1 billion points lol.

Also it appears there is a 1000 block limit, I was possibly interested in it until I heard that.

I wonder if the 1k block is radius or diameter. If it is diameter then pfffft pointless. I might be able to live with 2k x 2k but not 1k x 1k... That isnt even large enough to explore properly let alone find somewhere cool to build.

I would have been interested in the split screen, but seems to have too many drawbacks from the PC version.

I picked up a copy anyways to play split screen with my wife. Maybe they will up the size at a later date. (I can only hope)

The computer version is miles ahead of this xbox version. Hell the computer version even increased the build height upwards by 265 so its 128 down and 384 up... You can built vertically on the computer almost as high as you can build horizontally on the xbox... oh well at least it has split screen.

This version is 1.0.6 (when it was still in beta) where as the computer is up to 1.2.5 already. It is going to be hard to go back that far in development just to play on the xbox lol.

I bought it and played it a bit. Its ok, defiantly not as good as the PC version but it feels right to be playing with a controller. The only problems I ran into is with the inventory management since they give you this cursor instead of letting you highlight the inv boxes and move around like more standard rpgs on the console.
