JRMH The audience that MC360 is directed at is obviously different than the audience that the PC version is directed at. So stop comparing them lol.

They are a little behind on the 360 version but imo the 360 version is still better.


I'm sorry but what?!? The PC version has everything the Xbox version has, but more of it and in higher quality. I don't see how you can think the Xbox version is better...

Either way, the game is aimed at the same audience; people who love freedom for their creativity to go wild and build, craft and explore in a wide variety of ways.
