GamerTechz I can't believe this year has gone by so fast. I don't really like minecraft on the xbox but I do like the game itself..

Why not? It is made easier on the xbox then PC, the controllers are smoother and easier to get and talk with friends.


Some people prefer PC over Xbox. I play on both and find it just as fun. You can also video chat on PC for voice. They're equally fantastic is their own ways.
