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.

iPlayDirty i think more people would buy this?


I don't see why, the people who already like minecraft would most likely have the PC version or the Xbox version, giving a disc version absolutely no point.


Unless you don't have xbox live. I know since you have you can't possibly imagine other people don't have it since you do... The stupidity on this article hurts my brain.


Yeah it's a benefit for some people

That's a good point, the only people that would play Minecraft were the players that had internet, not that it is on a disk version anyone can play it, Live or no Live
