Talk:Xbox 360 Edition/Archive 2

Release
Mircosoft release all xbla (Exception for the Simpsons Arcade) on Wednesdays; on that basis and the fact it is ready to go onto the marketplace: the release is most likely going to be the 21/3/12 or the 28/3/12!

As of the 22nd of March, it will be out on May 9th and cost 1600 MSP.--DIVV 21:30, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

G4 (a good source) has said the release date is may 9th so the date on the wiki page need's to be change

sources say that minecraft will be released in 1.0. istead of 1.6.6 thats why it was sent back to monjang and 4j studios

Arcade or Indie?
Will this be released in the Xbox Live Arcade section of the XBLA store or the Indie section of the XBLA store? The reason I'm asking this is because you can't download or play games in the Indie section of the XBLA store in Australia.

It will be arcade. You can find it right now but you can only buy things like shirts and avatar items

?? Uses ??
Will online play be avalible? and if so will players be able to control or even create their own servers? It would be astonishing if gameplay for the 360 online was accessible to pc servers, or vise versa~ SuperNoobed

I personally think that it won't be a good gameplay of Minecraft on a Xbox 360 because you won't be able to point your cursor quickly to a block or a enemy, especially when you are getting hurt and your pointer moves randomly.


 * Thats great but this isnt the place to talk about your opinions. Try the forums or getsatisfaction. Toadbert

i also want to know if it will work with the controller. because i do not want to play this on the kinect. and for the person at the top... im sure they will have a sensitivity for the turning and stuff like most FPS. im just glad that this is coming to the 360 and will put fortress craft to shame!--Silverfox6000 01:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

yes im sure minecraft 360 will be a smash hit but what about the pocket edition wont it be a little hard to controll and also i agree with you siver fox forteress is a VERY big shame but keep totalminer in thought it stsrted off very much like mine craft but now its starting to go down its on ittle path and the creator of total miner didnt have people to help like notch did but he has done a very good job fixing bugs By:Jeffrey TDR add me on xbox(Jeffrey TDR) and ill get back to you soon beacuse im grounded seacrest out

i have heard on other wikis that xbox and pc gamers may be in one game+loginRexxx11 12:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Release Date
May 9th 2012 for 1600 Microsoft Points

source here: http://majornelson.com/2012/03/22/announcing-arcade-next/ -engdan 16:07, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

It looks like the 'gamerscore increase was just an effort to justify charging even more money for games. 1600 for Minecraft is an obvious example of that. So far away, too... -engdan 16:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

It will be the last game released in the 4 game releases in a 4 week  period known as arcade next. Which is just another reason to charge more for xbla games.

What was the picture? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wrpen99 (Talk&#124;Contribs) Please sign your posts with
 * The IGN article has a small preview of what Notch sent. The actual image is gone from their site, but you can still see the preview here: http://media.ignimgs.com/media/thumb/348/3489867/minecraft-20110713025816439_thumb_ign.jpg.  Notch is an awesome artist. :D   Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 20:48, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

9.30am here in the UK and nothing has happened, starting to get doubts.

their plan might be to hold it off till april fools then tell us that it will no longer be released for the xbox.. then the next day it will come out... that would be funny ..but only on the day it comes out

Kinect
Will you have to play minecraft on the kinect or can you use a remote? (Ryanc165 16:36, 23 July 2011 (UTC)}

You can play exclusively with a controller or you can use the Kinect if you so wished. Bear in mind, Kinect support will not be available on launch and will instead be added in a later version. -engdan 11:59, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Kinect
Kinect will be optional

' why are there two'' articles? who is responsible for this!?!?'''

disc
Will you be able to get this on disc or do u have to have xbox live and is it only for kinect? (Ryanc165)
 * No disc it is a Live arcade Game, and it will be compatible with the standard controller.

I saw on the best buy website that it would be on a disc ... So does anyone have any information on that --Schrutebeets 04:18, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit: Sorry I don't know how to change the name of the URL

Ps3/360
I think that minecraft will be on both consoles at some point in the future.. WHY? Xperia.. is a sony product and this new commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d6FhtpcHrsU has a logo in it at 1:05 with "playstation certified". So why would it not hit ps3 soon after the 360 version? :o -- Throex  '''TALK 18:17, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Because there's a whole slew of licensing and bureaucratic red tape quite apart from the technical issues surrounding a PS3 port. If any such thing was being planned, I'm quite certain we'd've already heard about it from Notch or Jeb by now. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:27, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure we would have heard about it, unless microsoft made them sign a contract to be silent about other console releases so that the xbox could suck in all the glory of the first console with minecraft. Also..the SONY Xperia is a playstation product.. so why would it not hit PS3 in the future? -- Throex  '''TALK 20:25, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * If Mojang was under a strict gag order on a PS3 port, it wouldn't be from Microsoft, it would be from Sony (if there were a PS3 Minecraft port in the works, and Microsoft tried to keep Mojang from revealing it so that MS had a better chance of getting more profits from the Xbox Minecraft version, Sony would be all over them).
 * I'm not saying there will never be a version of Minecraft for the PS3. I am saying that, because we haven't heard word one from any official source about any such thing, there is almost certainly not one in the works at this moment. There is also a very big difference in terms of licensing between developing a game for Random Handheld Device #4783 and developing one for a name-brand console like the PS3 - while the Xperia Play is a Sony product to be sure, it runs the Android operating system and makes use of the Android app store/marketplace, which is entirely outside of Sony's control. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:33, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

You do realize the reason they are not making a PS3 port is because the Sony Xperia is already a Sony product. Also Notch said Microsoft Will be the sole console provider of Minecraft.

trivia
The new trivia post that was made today is about Oblivion/Elder Scrolls.. Does anyone else think its a bad idea to have that listed considering the law suit going on right now? -- Throex  '''TALK 16:38, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Why would it be a bad idea? The lawsuit has nothing to do with 4J Studios past work. Them porting TES IV to the Playstation 3 console is something notable and fits well in the trivia section as this shows that they have past experience with porting games to consoles. They are not part of Zenimax/Bethesda who are responsible for the lawsuit and I believe people will understand that. Kamrat 17:05, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Wrong release date
Somebody should really fix the release date. It isn't even out, but still the infobox says it was released on November 18th 2011. Also, it's pretty ridiculous, since literally one line above that, on the "Latest version" line, the information given is "Not yet released". Just pointing that out. 82.54.144.61 03:37, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure the infobox was a copypaste from the Pocket Edition article. It needs to updated, that's all. - Asterick6 01:12, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I just saw that they changed the release date to Marth 28th, got excited, i google it, and nothing, came back and it was changed to "Spring 2012" u_u -happiness destroyed- 200.56.140.86 04:35, 15 March 2012 (UTC)DalisDL

wow, cant believe it.Rexxx11 18:06, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

360 Interface/Gameplay in the Windows version
One epic thing would be to plug the 360 USB Controller in the computer, so the Windows version (I don't know if it would work on Mac) would be like the 360 version, with the same interface and gameplay.

Do you think Mojang will update the Windows version to be compatible with the 360 USB Controller when the 360 version will be released ?

skin import
I have heard on an early video that if you have an account than your skin will be imported to the xbox. Any truth to this? TTiscoming 01:43, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Kaplan mentioned skins will be editable but later in the future along with skin customization, we will be able to edit our own texture packs. and know i don't think our accounts will be linked to the 360 version until the massive 2 month update is over.

To all people, it is confirmed that Minecraft xbox edition IS coming this wednessday March 21. Mojang has already sent the files to Microsoft with a couple of notes, and now were all waiting for them. It is true that Microsoft doesn't have a lot of games to release, so lets cross our fingers they don't forget minecraft is on the list!

Um no offense but this thread is about adding your skins to the xbox version--Schrutebeets 13:39, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Official Release Date
Just updated the page with the Official Release Date's announce -DalisDL

Minecraft will be released may 9th 2012 which is a wendsday

Release date according to Haat films
They just revealed on a youtube comment on their x-box trailer that they are releasing it on May 9th. Considering Haatfilms works with Mojang on a regular basis and is often given content early we have little reason to doubt them. --Moxxy 21:04, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

It was announced on playxbla & the forums, the release date is ninth of May according to Microsoft.

Clean-up
I think we need to clean this thread up a bit. We now know the official release date so we really don't need three release date sections --Schrutebeets 13:36, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit:We now have 5. I think we can move all of the release dates into one release date and stuff like that

Release date confirmed!
It has been confirmed on the Minecraft forums that the xbox edition will available may 9
