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.

Smuggler Who plays minecraft without internet though? Whats the point in making a world if you can't show it to any of your friends. Most games are completely pointless without XBL. If you buy Minecraft and play it without XBL then your just wasting your life, even though your wasting it anyway but atleast you can show your friends.

CoD - No live, no point. 99% of people play multiplayer.
Fifa - No live, no point. 99% of people play Ultimate team.

In my opinion, xbox is pointless without xbl and so are most of the games you buy.

Only sad people sit and play Minecraft on their own. This is just a scam to make more money in my eyes. I bet your gonna say 'what about people who can't get live?' well they're not gonna wanna buy or play minecraft are they because it's pointless...


I agree, if you don't have live you could still get minecraft but you wouldn't have access to any updates so you would be way behind


I do not partially agree, you could have family members interested in the game and maybe even play it with them. This is just a positive .

But that's besides the point, you would be stuck with an out dated minecraft


That's the only downside, for the people with no Live they won't get updates.

That's just a minor flaw though, I am sure they have thought of that and are trying to get updates to users with out live.


There are lots of people who do not own Xbox live around the world

Centurial It's a good idea, i already have it digitally so i'm not going to buy it on disc, but it's nice for others that don't have internet so they can't download it from the Microsoft Marketplace.


But because they don't have Internet, how will they get updates?


It will probably be in the latest update first, before digital users get it? I dont know
