Surprise: XBLA Minecraft's split-screen multiplayer requires HDTV
Notch wasn't aware that local multiplayer wouldn't work with standard-definition TVs, he tweeted and apologized to a fan today.
Port developer 4J Studios has justified the HD requirement on Twitter: "The inventory and crafting just didn't work in splitscreen Standard Definition - it was too small to make out."
Some fans want a refund from Microsoft, saying they wouldn't have bought Minecraft if the HD requirement was clearer, but Microsoft is holding out on a few of them, Kotaku reports.

The game has a TRIAL for a reason. This reminds me of the people that give $.99 apps 1 star ratings because they think it "sucks". What do you expect for a dollar? They have a free version, try it before you buy it. Duh. And if the description mentions it, they have no reason to complain. It's their own fault for being eager and not reading.

I think some people just need to buy a new TV. HD TVs don't cost as much as they used to, and they are well worth the money.

Me either, i have an HDTV that i'm sure is higher than 720p.But i can see people buying the game, not liking it and lying about them not having an HDTV just to get a refund. That's probably why they are holding out on some of them.
