This is getting very close to the PC, nice to see they're keeping up with the community!

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 know its your opinion but the PC version has more for vanilla. It has servers to play minigames on and you can use mods to make the game completely different.
