Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Retail Disc Version Coming in April

4.3
It looks like Microsoft and Mojang are about to take their relationship with one another to a whole new level. A physical level. Today it was revealed over at PlayXBLA that a physical copy of Minecraft for the Xbox 360 will be released to stores on April 30th.

The game will contain all of the same features that the digital version includes as well as all further updates. The title will be sold for $19.99, the same price as the digital version (but taxed now) and will be available in other regions outside of the US sometime early in June.

The retail game will be exactly the same as the digital version in every way, including support for multiplayer connectivity between the retail game and the digital download.

What do you mean what's the point of this? By April 30th they'll have all the updates of when the game came out and it was no longer in beta. Plus think about it this way people don't have credits cards and stuff like that just cash. And think of it this way if all games were only downloadable and there were no physical copies sales would dramatically drop.

Use your brain here.

So that xbox and mojang can make even more money!


For people who don't have Xbl can play the game.

TakeTheDamnPiLL it will be good for the people who don't have the microsoft points to purchase it.


This is a point that has come up many times and i think its probably
the main reason for a hard copy release to allow non xbox live users
to buy it


i agree with this guy! (:

Hom I don't understand why people can't just download it?


Some people enjoy having the game case, and if you can't get hold of MSP this will help:)


That's the main reason I like hard copy games, you know they are there with you.


That is a very good point SOG but with hard copies it comes vulnerable to scratches getting lost with a digital can be lost or scratched
