Are you calling Minecraft a bad game? Minecraft is not a bad game at all - 5,462,880+ people have bought the game. It can't be that bad! :P

[Chris]

I've got ms points spare so I'll be getting this! Does anyone know if it will have creative mode?

I said that the first time I first saw Minecraft then I fell in love with it and got addicted. The graphics aren't everything and to be honest if you have a crap computer Minecraft would probably not run for various reasons.

[beth]

probably gonna have a go on it, always wanted to get minecraft on my laptop but it's **** and i don't think it'd be able to handle it. least i know my xbox will be able to run it hahahahahaha.

That's why it's so good! Typical new age gamer, thinking graphics > Gameplay

[Chris]

The graphics of minecraft is one of the factors as to why I enjoy it. It's such a simple game but allows you to do so much.

[Cerys]

Looks realllly cool! Definitely buying this.

I've got re addicted to my minecraft anyway, so it'll be good to finally be able to play it without my brother kicking me off the computer :P

[j0rd]

Hurry up 9th May!!!

[Zuth]

I dont have an xbox, how much is 1600 points worth?

[David]

YES. will need to get some ms points.

[Kasabian]

Some of the contributions to this thread are laughable.

I shall be purchasing on the day of release, been looking forward to it since they announced they were porting it to 360. Such a simplistic game, with thousands of opportunity's. Connecting to PC servers aswell as xbox specific servers will be superb, too.

Zuth 1600MSP is around £14 or less, depending where you buy your points from.

Graphics aren't everything.
s
When I first saw the game, I thought 'wow that game looks terrible', and to be fair at a first look you can't blame anyone for thinking that.

But when you actually play the game, its so addictive and there's just so much you can do!

I love multiplayer and have been playing it loads recently with some friends :D

[auffant1]

Wow I am so buying this. And only for 1600 microsoft points thats a good deal.

[FiftyCal]

Gameplay > Graphics. That's why i still play CS:S and Battlefield 2 for the PC, the graphics are outdated, but the gameplay is one of the best. Millions can agree with me

[Plucked]

I'll buy this i think, actually looks insane!

[Mollie]

That looks so good :D I'd buy it if I had an Xbox aha but for now I am happy with playing it on my computer!

[Neil]

No idea where you heard that it will connect to PC servers but that's just not true, from my understanding it only supports up to 8 players on the xbox, you can't connect to PC servers because the version released will be somewhere between beta 1.2 and beta 1.6, a fair bit behind the current PC build.
